Abstract

This research examined conflicting views among supervisors during the Off-Campus teaching practice supervision at the University of Cape Coast. Sequential explanatory mixed method design was employed for the study and the multi-stage sampling technique and the proportionate stratified sampling technique was used to select respondents for the study. Questionnaires, focus group discussion guide, interview and document analysis guide were used to gather both qualitative and quantitative data for the study. The results were presented using tables, percentages, frequencies as well means and standard deviations. The areas of conflicting views among supervisors revealed by the study are; lesson note format, statement of lesson objectives , the way of displaying teaching and learning resources, chalk board summary, the classroom position of the teacher and finally the closure of the lesson. It was further revealed that the years of experience, the content knowledge of the supervisor and the supervisors’ own perception of teaching are some of the factors influencing supervisors’ remarks. Based on the findings, it was recommended that the Teaching Practice Unit should come out with one accepted way of dealing with the areas where there are conflicting views and such method should be emphasized during micro teaching.
