Özet: Supervision that has been conducted by public high school administrators plays a major role in the effectiveness of a school. Lack of having well defined criteria is thought to be causing some major problems in the educational environment. Subjectivity, administrative policy constraints, lack of teacher motivation and lack of job satisfaction are only a few examples of those kinds of problems. The study, which is based on the  scanning model and a descriptive research,  was performed on 303  teachers working in randomly chosen high schools in the Bakırköy district of İstanbul. The data collection instrument was developed by the  researcher. The confirmatory factor analysis test was used to determine whether the scale confirm to the factor structure or not. It was noticed that the factor structure could be explained with 5 factor sub-dimensions, and accordingly, the measuring scale, which had been originally prepared in 45 items, was modified and reduced to 32 items. As a result of factor analysis, the  factors were confirmed as follows; “the leadership, supervision techniques, effective supervision, efficacy of administration and teaching quality”.  All these factors are explain  about 48 % for total test variance. Cronbach alpha internal consistency factor which has been calculated according to the reliability analysis and it’s value was ,90. Factor loadings of sub- dimensions are between ,41 and ,81.  In accordance with the results, training programs must be applied regularly to the administrators in order to enable them to acquire more supervision attitude and  to increase the efficiency and quality levels of the schools.
