Data were obtained from 62 secondary school physical education supervisors and 69 secondary school principals in Alabama public secondary schools. Instruments selected from the literature were modified, evaluated, and refined by a panel of experts. The revisions and modifications suggested by the experts and the pilot study resulted in a 98-item questionnaire. The Chi-Square test of two independent samples was used to test Hypotheses 1 through 14 to determine whether differences exist between the perceptions of the physical education supervisors and the secondary school principals regarding the actual and expected job roles of the physical education supervisor for the duties related to seven categories: Staff, Scheduling, In-Service Education, General Administration, Public Relations, Facilities and Equipment and Curriculum Development. The .01 adjusted alpha level was used as the criterion for the rejection of the hypotheses. / The following conclusions were made: (a) Physical education supervisors and principals agree on the actual and expected job responsibility roles of physical education supervisors in the Staff, Scheduling, In-Service Education, General Administration, Public Relations and Curriculum Development categories; (b) Physical education supervisors and principals disagree on the actual and expected job responsibility roles of physical education supervisors in the Facilities and Equipment category; (c) Physical education supervisors have a role conflict situation because their perceptions of actual and expected job responsibility roles are in disagreement with those of principals in Facilities and Equipment and to a lesser degree in Scheduling and General Administration; and (d) The physical education supervisors were in agreement with the actual job responsibilities, while the principals were in agreement with the expected job responsibilities of physical education supervisors. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 48-02, Section: A, page: 0331. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1987.
