Abstract
This study determined the effect of head teachers’ instructional supervision skills
on the performance of teachers in public primary schools in Makindye division,
Kampala. The research answered the following questions: what is the effect of
the levels of head teachers’ instructional supervision skills on the performance of
teachers in public primary schools in Makindye division? to what extent have the
teachers fulfilled their pedagogical responsibilities in public primary schools in
Makindye division? what is the effect of instructional supervision skills available
among head teachers in public primary schools in Makindye division? A cross
section design method was used to collect data for this study. Simple random
sampling technique (raffle) was used to select 30 schools, and 300 teachers for
the study. The thirty head teachers were purposively selected from the thirty
schools that were part of the study. The findings of the study were: the level of
head teachers’ instructional supervision skills in public primary schools was
deficient; there was a direct relationship between the head teachers’ instructional
supervision skills and teachers’ fulfillment of pedagogical roles in classroom.
Therefore, the research concluded that the quality of head teachers’ instructional
supervision skills was still a far cry. Recommendations made included involving
other school personnel in instructional supervision; a staff development program
for each school should be developed.
