Objectives of the Research: 1. To study processes of supervisory administration of student teaching’s directors in universities. 2. To study problems encountered in processes of supervisory administration in universities. Research Procedures Sample used in this study consisted of sixteen administrators, eight deans and eight associate deans for academic affairs from eight Faculties of Education in Thai Universities, eight supervisors’ directors and 120 supervisors, totaling 144 in number. The instrument used in this study was a questionnaire consisting of three parts. The first part was concerned with personal information of respondents; the second part dealt with opinions concerning the performance of supervisors’ directors in the supervisory administration processes which includes Planning processes, Organizing processes, Leading processes, Controlling processes and Assesing processes. The final part was concerned with problems and obstacles which the directors may encounter in the conduct of their affairs. The questionnaires were distributed to the 144 participants. Of these, 137 copies, or 95.14 percent, were returned. The data were analyzed by using percentages, means and standard deviations. Findings 1. To the question concerning the performance of supervisors’ directors, the majority of the deans and associate deans responded “high” to all the five processes under study, meaning that the directors’ performance had been satisfactory. The majority directors themselves also believed that they had been performing satisfactorily in each of the processes. The majority of the supervisors indicated that the supervisors’ directors’ performance had been satisfactory only in the four categories of planning process, organizing process, leading process, and assessing process, while perform rather poorly on controlling process. It is concluded from this finding that the performance of supervisors’ directors had been highly satisfactory in all categories except controlling process which was less satisfactory. 2. To the questions concerning problems and obstacles which prevent supervisory administration of the directors from achieving satisfactory results, the respondents indicated the following factors as the causes: A. Inadequate supply of supervisory personnel. B. Incongruity among the departments regarding their supervision policies. C. Informal organization of the supervisory team. The team should been formally organized into an independent bureau. D. Lack of cooperation from other offices within the faculty. E. The director lacks knowledge and skill in administration process, and often is not clear on his own role. He also has no authority to issue order, appoint, or discharge personnel in his own team. The director often fails to maintain a standardized working procedures and lacks the tools and reliable assessment standards.
