1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Supervision is one of the administrative tools that individuals and groups of people use in the day-to-day administration of their work or organizations (Nyarko, 2009), and according to Segun (2004), the quality of school supervision in modern school institutions requires a lot of attention because many people are now more aware than in the past about the value of education. As a result, there is a lot of interest in the school system's day-to-day functioning (Bessong and Ojong, 2009). According to Hismanoglu and Hismanoglu (2010), there is difficulty in agreeing on a clear definition of the word "educational supervision" because of variations in orientations, perceptions, knowledge, and familiarity with components of the framework, as well as analysis of its content. Daresh (2001) defines educational supervision as a dynamic process that leads to the study and improvement of all factors affecting the education situation, while Kilminster, Jolly, and Van der Vleuten (2007) define educational supervision as the provision of guidance and feedback on matters of personal, professional, and educational development in the context of the trainee's experience.
