and students in the supervisory role performance of principals of public secondary
schools in Kogi State on regular classroom visitation. Descriptive survey was used in this

instrument was structured questionnaire on which a pilot study was carried out to
determine the reliability. Reliability coefficient was determined using Cronbach alpha
resulting in 0.93 1. The test of the hypothesis was done using the Analysis of Variance
(ANOVA) at 0.05 significant level since the respondents were more than two categories,
