Abstract
This study focused on examining the relationship between head teachers’ supervision and
teachers’ performance in Universal Primary Education schools in Bubulo Constituency,
Manafwa district, Uganda. The objectives that guided the study were: to determine the
relationship between head teachers’ supervision and teachers’ preparation of pedagogical
documents; to determine the relationship between head teachers’ supervision and teachers’
classroom instruction and management; as well as to determine the relationship between head
teachers’ supervision and teachers’ assessment and evaluation of learners. The study was
basically cross-sectional survey which involved quantitative and qualitative approaches. The
study was carried out in all 30 UPE Primary Schools in Manafwa District with a parent
population of one hundred thirty (130) teachers and thirty head teachers (30). Out of these, a
sample of 113 teachers and 30 head teachers was taken, using simple random and purposive
sampling. Teachers filled questionnaires on their performance, while the headteachers and a few
teachers were interviewed orally. For the three research objectives, the data collected were
analyzed using inferential statistics (Pearson correlation co-efficient techniques). The study
found a significant relationship between: head teachers’ supervision and teachers’ preparation of
pedagogical documents (r=0. 791**, sig. 0.000); head teacher’s supervision and teachers’
classroom instruction and management (r=0. 770
**, sig.0.000) and head teachers’ supervision and
teachers’ assessment and evaluation of learners (r=0.701**, sig. 0.000). The study concluded that
head teachers’ supervision had a significant relationship with teachers’ performance in UPE
schools in Bubulo Constituency, Manafwa district. It was recommended that management,
government and other stakeholders should be involved in the monitoring of teachers’
performance in UPE schools of Bubulo Constituency, Manafwa district; head teachers should
carry out regular supervision to promote quality control measures that motivate the teachers to
improve on their performance; teachers should realize that the use of instructional materials
during lessons simplifies content and brings distant events into classroom situations for easy
understanding.
