Abstract
The main objective of this study was to investigate the attitudes of teachers towards school-based supervision in Mutare Rural District Secondary Schools using the quantitative methodology. The population comprised of all secondary teachers in the district and the sample was made up of 96 teachers arrived at using random sampling. The study adopted the descriptive survey design and data was collected through a questionnaire. The study revealed that the preferences for the frequency of supervision of instruction, types of supervisors and purposes of supervision all point to the fact that teachers perceive instructional supervision in a positive way. However, findings revealed that in spite of their positive attitudes towards supervision of instruction, teachers were critical of the way it was being undertaken in their schools. The study recommends that school-based supervisors should be staff developed in order to carry out their supervision tasks professionally and effectively. Keywords: Supervision, school-based, instruction, attitudes, secondary school, teachers.
