A Study of the Perceptions of Ideal and Actual Applications of Clinical Supervision Techniques for Elementary School Intern Teachers in Taipei City

In addition to theoretical analysis, the research methods of the study were a questionnaire survey and a semi-structure interview. The subjects of the study were 170 intern teachers, 172 mentor teachers, 46 principals, and 44 professors.

The data from questionnaire survey were analyzed using Mean, STD, one way ANOVA, MANOVA, and t-test. Based on the results of the discrepancies between “ideal” and “actual” applications of clinical supervision techniques, four intern teachers, four mentor teachers, two principal, and four professors were identified for a semi-structure interview. The data from semi-structure interview were analyzed with reference to three dimensions for those discrepancies.
