A reflexão acerca de suas reais atribuições poderá contribuir para uma re-significação de sua identidade, visto que sua ação atualmente encontra-se permeada por questionamentos e conflitos. Dentre os elementos que confluem para que a atual situação se mantenha, como um processo em curso, destaca-se a sobrevivência das concepções de Supervisão que vigoraram no período administrativo anterior à década de 1980. Outro interveniente encontra-se ligado à implementação da Gestão Democrática que na prática administrativa e pedagógica transcorre com diversos tipos de dificuldades limitativas. Os participantes desta pesquisa, constituíram-se de Pedagogos responsáveis pela coordenação pedagógica, atuantes em colégios da rede estadual de ensino de Londrina. Esses profissionais, organizam o trabalho pedagógico da escola, com intuito de atender turmas do ensino fundamental e médio, diurno e noturno, além de procurar atender os demais membros que compõem a comunidade escolar. A investigação foi realizada de acordo com o paradigma qualitativo, sendo que a metodologia utilizada teve como referência a observação participante, por ser considerada a melhor opção para focalizar os objetivos desta pesquisa. Os resultados da investigação apontaram para uma nova visão das práticas do Pedagogo Supervisor no espaço escolar, a partir de uma intervenção conceituada na ação coletiva. / The present study has as purpose to contribute for the understanding and improvement of the pedagogic work developed by the School Supervisor, in the face of the new educational paradigm entitled Democratic Administration of the public teaching. The discussion about your obligations will contribute to appear a new identity. Among the elements that converge to stagnate the current situation stands the survival of the conceptions of Supervision previous to the eighty's decade. Besides, other important factor is linked to the implantation of the Democratic Administration that, in practice, elapses limitedly. The participants of this research had been constituted of Educators responsible by the pedagogic coordination of Londrina's schools. The investigation was accomplished in agreement with the qualitative paradigm. The used methodology had as reference the participant observation, wich is considered the best option to find the results stipulated by the research objectives. The results of the investigation appeared for a new vision of Educator Supervisor's practices in the school space, starting from an intervention based in the collective action.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the evolution of the school climate during the first year of a new principal's assignment to the school as perceived by the principal and the teachers; and to investigate the relationship between the school climate and the leadership behavior of the principal as perceived by the principal and the teachers. In addition, an investigation was made of the relationship between the teachers' perception of the principal's leadership behavior and the self-evaluated leadership behavior of the principal.

M.Ed. / Over the years, and even now, the Department of Education is busy trying to find a better method of managing and empowering educators with the aim of attaining whole school development. By proposing educator developmental appraisal systems the department was intending to develop educator instructional performance. This study concentrates on educator's instructional development inside the classroom through clinical supervision and its contribution to whole school development. The literature indicated that educators are negative to the style of supervision currently in use. Information obtained from different books clearly states that clinical supervision is a process that directly involves both the educator and supervisor. It stresses mutual understanding and co-supervision between educator and the supervisor. This research used a structured questionnaire to collect data on the opinions of the respondents in seven of the nine provinces in South Africa. The questionnaire contained 79 items and ten of these items were relevant to clinical supervision. The structured questionnaires were distributed to a convenient stratified sample in seven of the nine provinces. Based on the information from the questionnaire, each item relevant to this particular research study was analyzed and discussed. After the factor analysis, the significance of the difference between the factor mean scores of various groups for each of the factors that make up whole school development were analysed and explained. The data obtained indicates that a pleasant classroom climate is an important need of each learning situation. An atmosphere of collegial relationships among staff and the principal is a pre-requisite for whole school development. It appears as if the instructional development of educators can be better achieved through the implementation of the process of clinical supervision.

The problem of this study was to determine whether there is a significant relationship between certain situational factors and high and low scores on the leadership behavior dimensions of industrial supervisors. The behavior dimensions studies were the two dimensions of Consideration and Initiating Structure, as measured by the instrument used in the study.
