In addition, school administrators and teachers think school administrators do not make enough contribution to planning curriculums; teachers do not have problem on equipment necessary for the application of curriculum; however, they claim the physical conditions of schools are inadequate; most of the school administrators do not make any work as to evaluating curriculum; school administrators and teachers consider that school administrators carry out the supervision of curriculum by observing the classes most; furthermore, they also carry out these supervisions by checking teachers’ class book and interviewing with the teachers. According to research results, it has been suggested that school administrators should participate in the process of curriculum planning more actively, the physical conditions of schools should be improved, school administrators should contribute to the assessment process of curriculum and they should inform the results to top level. },author={Ayla ARSEVEN-- İbrahim DAĞDELER},year={2015},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science Studies}}
