Abstract

The study aimed to reveal the degree of practicing electronic supervision by early grades supervisors in Jerash Governorate schools, considering the reading and mathematics initiative, from the perspective of school principals and early grades teachers. To achieve this aim, the descriptive correlational method was used, employing an electronic supervision questionnaire consisting of 25 items. The sample consisted of 325 principals and early grades teachers. The researchers distributed the electronic questionnaire randomly to the sample from schools of education in Jerash Governorate. The results indicated that the degree of electronic supervision practiced by early grades supervisors in light of the reading and mathematics initiative, as perceived by principals and early grades teachers, was moderate. There were significant differences at α = 0.05 in the estimations of principals and teachers based on the variable of years of experience, favoring those with less than 10 years of experience. No significant differences were found regarding gender, job title, or years of experience beyond the less-than-10-years category. Finally, the researchers recommended several measures, including holding training courses for educational supervisors on the concepts of electronic supervision and educating teachers on methods to attract parental involvement in the parent participation program.
