Main Article Content
Abstract
The objectives of this study were to develop an instructional supervision process based on the feedback approach to enhance growth mindset in instruction of pre-service teachers and to study the effect of the process. The study consisted of four stages: 1) researching conditions and problems in pre-service teachers’ instruction management, 2) developing a draft of instructional supervision process, 3) testing the process, and 4) developing a complete process. Participants were 10 undergraduate students, majoring in Primary Education who were selected by purposive sampling technique. The research instruments were an assessment scale of the growth mindset in instruction of pre-service teachers, an instructional behavior observation form and an informal interview form. The quantitative data were analyzed by using the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank Test and the qualitative data were analyzed by using a contents analytics technique.
The results can be concluded that the developed instructional supervision process consisted of three steps: 1) inspiring pre-service teachers to realize their teaching goals, 2) observing classes and exchanging experiences, and 3) enhance learning for self-improvement. The developed process positively affected pre-service teachers' average scores in the assessment scale of the growth mindset in instruction of pre-service teachers; the post-participation process was significantly higher than before at the 0.05 level. Overall, all pre-service teachers clearly exhibited behavior that reflected the growth mindset in instruction, both the behaviors that reflected the ideas of the students and themselves as teachers.
