Introduction: In recent years, professional development of teachers has become an important issue in
educational system. The question of work has been the kind of supervision needed to save and secure
teacher's successful performance in his/her teaching career. The present study aimed at answering this
question.
Methods: The study was preformed in two phase: At first a quasi-experiment on ٣٧٢ randomly selected
students was done. The exposed group's teachers were under clinical supervision. In the second phase, the
clinical supervision method was evaluated based on opinions of ٥٠ faculties and educational authorities.
Results: In the exposed group, the rate of student's learning proved to be significantly higher (P< ,٠٠١).
Those students evaluated their teacher's professional behaviors as more positive compared to teacher
evaluations made by students in the control group (P< ,٠٠١). Full agreement and agreement to perform
clinical supervision were expressed by ٦٢, percent of respondents in the second phase study, whereas
٩١, percent of the same attitude was found toward self-evaluation (The latter was expressed as one of the
best solutions for quality problems of teaching). The majority of respondents insisted on maintaining
stable environment for teaching, a decrease in number of students and proper teacher selection methods
as the other solutions.
Conclusion: Applying clinical supervision method had a positive effect on students learning and teachers'
performance. Thus this method should be considered as one of the basic ways to develop educational
system in the field of medical sciences
