Özet:

Aim of this study is to compare patterns and rules of educational supervison realized in Ottoman period and in Turkish Republic. In this regard, the directives for primary school inspectors, dated according to old Ottoman calendar as 1326 (A.D. 1910-1911) dated the document named as  “The Directives Related to the Jobs of  Primary School Inspectors”, which was held from the Library of Istanbul University archives, was transcribed. Then, the applications of those directives were compared with the current regulations towards supervision. From a broader perspective, it can be concluded that Ottoman time duties were investigation, inspection, and advices to the people. When it comes to current practices about supervision in education, which are dependent on regulation dated 02/12/2016 and issue number 6764, roles of supervisors are guidance, in-service training, inspection, evaluation, investigation, inquisition, and research. When the two legislations are compared, investigations and inspections are still in the main task of the supervisors; it is seen that there are differences in terms of public illumination, in-service training, evaluation, examination and research. Interrogation and inspection continue to exist in the duties of inspectors. Contrarily, enlightenment of public, on-the-job learning, assessment, and investigation are differing duties of supervisors with the old ones.
