摘要：The purpose of this study is to explore elementary school principals’ views on restructuring the supervision.
The study included 17 provinces with the participation of 148 elementary school supervisors. This study is a descriptive
study and the data were collected through a survey. The survey included demographic information as well as open-ended
questions. The data were analyzed through content analysis and were reported with frequencies and percentages together with
datum by datum narrations. The content analysis revealed that what elementary school supervisors think as restructuring
supervision is different from what MoNE plans and intends to implement.What elementary school supervisors have in mind
can be categorized under three categories: restructuring in the general system, restructuring in the supervision system, and
change in personnel rights and appointments. Among the most requested demands is the change in general structure and their
titles. Elementary school supervisors stated that both elementary school and ministry supervisors should be under the same
directorate with the same title. In paralel with these articulated changes, they further request (a) specialization on certain
branches, (b) betterment of personnel rights, (c) providing opportunities for education and personal growth, (d) providing inservice
programs, (e) having access to technological opportunities, (f) decreasing the workloads, and (f) re-organiziation of
how appointments were made.
