Statistik yang digunakan adalah statistik deskriptif yang melibatkan pengukuran frekuensi, skor min, sisihan piawai dan peratusan serta statistik infrensi yang melibatkan Ujian-t dan Ujian ANOVA Satu Hala pada aras kesignifikanan p<0.05. Berdasarkan persoalan kajian kedua, hipotesis nol Ho1, Ho2 dan Ho4 didapati benar dan diterima, tetapi hipotesis nol Ho3 didapati tidak benar dan ditolak. Ini bermakna faktor demografi jantina, umur dan pengalaman mengajar tidak mempengaruhi persepsi guru tetapi sebaliknya faktor demografi kelulusan akademik mempengaruhi persepsi guru. Keputusan ujian hipotesis nol Ho5 pada persoalan ketiga didapati tidak benar dan ditolak. Dapatan ini menunjukkan bahawa faktor pendekatan penyeliaan pengajaran yang dilakukan ke atas guru mempengaruhi persepsi mereka. Dapatan kajian juga mendapati guru yang diselia secara klinikal beranggapan bahawa penyeliaan pengajaran adalah amat penting dalam perkembangan profesionalisme guru. Keputusan kajian ini memberikan satu gambaran kepada warga pendidik bahawa untuk melahirkan guru yang mempunyai tahap profesional tinggi, dicadangkan supaya satu model penyeliaan yang lebih sistematik dan tekal disediakan. Di samping itu, guru-guru perlu juga didedahkan kepada konsep dan matlamat penyeliaan pengajaran yang sebenar.

Statistik yang digunakan adalah statistik deskriptif yang melibatkan pengukuran frekuensi, skor min, sisihan piawai dan peratusan serta statistik infrensi yang melibatkan Ujian-t dan Ujian ANOVA Satu Hala pada aras kesignifikanan p<0.05. Berdasarkan persoalan kajian kedua, hipotesis nol Ho1, Ho2 dan Ho4 didapati benar dan diterima, tetapi hipotesis nol Ho3 didapati tidak benar dan ditolak.
