In this literature review, significant problems have been detected due to structural organization, structural and control-oriented supervision rather than guidance and counseling, conflicting supervisor roles, workload and inadequate time for supervision, standard assessment forms, professional incompetencies and negative attitudes of supervisors within the context of supervision subsystem of Turkish education system.
