Abstract:
|
|
|
This study was conducted in order to provide a general description of how the supervisor teachers of the ELT Department of Çukurova University perceive effective supervisory feedback, and how their perceptions influence their practices as supervisors. The overriding purpose is to find out whether feedback sessions lead to a change in the student- teachers’ perceptions both in the content and structure. In order to achieve the aim of the study, supervisors’ perceptions of effective supervisory feedback were elicited. Their feedback sessions were recorded and the supervisors were interviewed to see whether and to what extent their perceptions influenced their behaviours as supervisors. On the other hand, participating student-teachers were observed during their practice sessions to find out whether they planned their lessons according to the feedback that they received. The data gathered from the student- teachers were triangulated by interviews and their feedback forms.
