Abstract

This article discusses the relationship between teaching supervision and teachers’
motivation. In the context of this study, the elements of the quality of teaching supervision is supported by three factors, namely, the factor of knowledge, interpersonal skills, and technical skills. Past studies have shown that all three of these factors play an important role in determining the effectiveness of supervision carried out in an effort to help raise the level of teacher motivation. Therefore, correlation test has been conducted to determine the relationship between the two variables. The study conducted on 261 secondary school teachers showed a significant relationship between the teaching supervision and teachers’ motivation. Moreover, the analysis also found that there was a significant difference in
the teachers’ motivation on teaching supervision according to gender. In addition, there are also significant differences in the teachers’ motivation on teaching supervision according to teacher’s position (school administrator and teachers).
