Abstract— Collaborative supervision represents a modern approach to teacher development, contrasting with traditional methods involving top-down evaluations. This model fosters a cooperative approach, where teachers and supervisors collaborate to identify growth areas, set goals, and formulate improvement strategies. This distinctive approach blends elements of directive and non-directive supervision, with active engagement and shared responsibilities between supervisors and teachers (Glickman, 2007).
This study aimed to determine the collaborative supervision approach of master teachers and teaching efficiency in the selected Junior High School in Cavite, composed of 6 public junior high school in the Division of Bacoor. The 300 sample were culled out through random sampling in the prospected Junior High School in the Division of Bacoor. The study utilized the descriptive correlational method of research. The instruments used to answer the problem was an adapted survey questionnaire for collaborative supervision of Master teachers and the teaching efficiency. It was further validated using a Cronbach’s alpha with a value of .913. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data gathered. Inferential and parametric statistics were used to ascertain the correlational of collaborative supervision approach of Master teachers and teaching efficiency.
The findings of the study showed that, respondents strongly agreed with their assessment on the collaborative supervision approach of master teachers. The teaching efficiency of the respondents was highly efficient, in terms of student engagement, classroom management and instructional strategies. The relationship between the assessed collaborative supervision approaches and the teaching efficiency of the respondents obtained a significant result. This implied that directive and non-directive approaches substantially influenced the efficiency of teachers on student engagement, classroom management and instructional strategies of the teachers.
Based on the findings and conclusions of the study the following recommendations were provided (1) Support and sustain the collaborative supervision practices by Master Teachers in the Division of Bacoor. (2) Prioritize supervising teachers in teaching methods and activities to optimize teaching efficiency. (3) Explore the effects of gender on teaching and learning, considering the differing assessment findings among teachers based on sex in instructional strategies. (4) Address the significant disparity in teaching efficiency assessment, especially in terms of student engagement, between teachers with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree (5) Conduct longitudinal studies to track the long-term impact of collaborative supervision on teaching efficiency.6) Conduct studies in diverse contexts to determine the generalizability of the study's findings to different regions, school districts, and educational settings. (7) Introduce the proposed induction training program for master teachers to adapt the project to the Division of Bacoor, Cavite.
