Development of the Artistic Supervision Model Scale (ASMS)

The purpose of the study is to develop the Artistic Supervision Model Scale in accordance with the perception of inspectors and the elementary and secondary school teachers on artistic supervision. The lack of a measuring instrument related to the model of artistic supervision in the field of literature reveals the necessity of such study. 290 teachers working in 14 public elementary and secondary schools in Bolu province and 179 educational inspectors working in 17 provinces participated in the study. In order to verify the scale, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted. For the reliability of the scale, internal consistency and item analysis were calculated. SPSS 18.00 and Lisrel 8.7 package programs were used for the data analysis. The analysis of the data revealed that it is a reliable scale made up of four dimensions and has a very good adaptation value. The dimensions involved in the scale are called as philosophy of artistic inspection, teaching as an art, assessment activities for artistic approach, and educational specialty task for the inspector.
