Abstract:

This study examines the instructional supervision strategies employed in the Pamplona District, Division of Camarines Sur, and their effects on teacher performance and student learning outcomes. As education remains a cornerstone of societal development, the quality of instructional supervision plays a critical role in shaping effective teaching practices and improving learner achievement. Guided by Clinical Supervision Theory, Transformational Leadership Theory, and Social Cognitive Theory, this descriptive quantitative research explores the perceptions of 85 teachers regarding supervision practices, including classroom observations, coaching, mentoring, and feedback mechanisms. Findings reveal that while teachers generally perceive supervision strategies as moderately effective, challenges such as time constraints, inconsistent implementation, and limited resources hinder their full potential. The study identifies a significant relationship between teachers’ profiles—particularly age, years of experience, and educational attainment—and their receptiveness to supervision. Additionally, a positive correlation exists between adequate supervision and enhanced student learning outcomes, emphasizing the need for targeted and context-sensitive supervisory approaches. The study concludes with recommendations to standardize supervision guidelines, enhance supervisor training, allocate dedicated time for mentoring, and foster a collaborative, non-evaluative supervision culture. By addressing these gaps, instructional leaders can strengthen teacher performance, bridge learning disparities, and align local practices with national educational goals.
