The rise of educational standard demands reform of curriculum. For this reason, schools in recent decades maximize a practical set of standards and assessments to purposely help teachers to be well prepared in teaching. The sort of education program that has been committed is educational supervision. This program is set to enhance the teachers’ competence. Thereby, this study was aimed to explore Islamic schools EFL teachers’ perceptions upon the practice of educational supervision. Besides, the study was carried out to purposely investigate whether the teachers’ perceptions were discrepant from one school to others as well as to diagnose the model of instructional supervision being applied in Islamic schools in Lembata, East of Nusa Tenggara.
The study employed qualitative phenomenological design since it is considerably suitable to have and understand in specific way the participants’ stories, perspectives, and experiences upon instructional supervision. The participants involved in this study were 13. They were EFL teachers who have experienced in the practice of supervisory activity. The instruments used were questionnaires and interview as the main data gathering instruments beside the researcher herself as the human instrument. There were 13 copies of questionnaire distributed. Additionally, interview was conducted to affirm the collected data from the questionnaires. The interviewee recruited in this study were four. In analyzing, the process included identifying and theming which entailed categorizing, phrasing, and labeling. The subsequent processes were comparing,
combining categories, and interpreting into story lines which were further determining whether the study support or negate the past studies.
The findings indicate that some EFL teachers perceived instructional supervision as effective to boost their teaching competence, while some other perceived it as ineffective. The different perceptions were also indicated by the teachers from one school to others. The teachers of certain schools might establish a good acceptance and positive attitude, while some other teachers openly criticized the implementation of instructional supervision in their schools. Additionally, the implementation of instructional supervision shows that the model being implemented was traditional scientific model which was full of supervisor’s dictates and preferences. The other image of instructional supervision reflected was human resources model in which the integration, trust, and collaboration are promoted. Therefore, the study concluded that instructional supervision has not yet benefited all elements of teachers, particularly beginning teachers and it has not satisfied the purpose of why it is designed for.
