professional development)
Instructional Supervision
is the work of ensuring the

experiences for students.
Instructional Supervision in the
Pre- Service Teacher Education
Pre-service teacher education - is the education and
training provided to student teachers before they have
undertaken any teaching.
Teacher Education degree courses end with the practicum or
practice teaching as a ultimate phase of teacher preparation .

in the real world of work.
Clinical Supervision in pre- service teacher preparation
Clinical supervision is a method of supervision where
the supervisor is involved with the teacher .
Clinical Supervision is goal Oriented, deliberate
intervention in the instruction process.
Goldhammer and Cogan ( 1960) who first practiced
clinical supervision borrowed the term from
medical profession where it was used for decades
to perfect the specialized knowledge and skills of
practitioner.
Models of Clinical Supervision By Pajak in 2000

Goldhammer and Cogan is blend of empirical, behavioral
,phenomenological , and developmental perspectives.
2. Artistic/ Humanistic Model – Eisner and Blumberg based their
perspectives on aesthetic and existential principles.
3. Technical / Didactic Model –Proposed by Acheson and Gall with
Hunter , it emphasizes on techniques of observation and feedback
that reinforce certain effective behaviors or predetermined models of
teaching.
4. Developmental/ Reflective Model – The model of Glickman, Costa
provides emphasis on individual differences , social ,organizational,
political, and cultural contexts of teaching.
