Abstract

This study, titled “Analysis of the Importance of Pedagogical Supervision in Students‟ Academic Achievement,” was conducted at the Santa Ana da Munhuana Community School in Maputo. The main objective is to analyze how pedagogical supervision influences student performance. To achieve this, three specific objectives were established: identifying the factors that affect pedagogical supervision in this school, explaining the importance of supervision for students' academic achievement, and proposing mechanisms to make supervision more effective and improve educational outcomes.The research was guided by three key questions: What factors influence pedagogical supervision in students‟ academic achievement? What is the importance of pedagogical supervision in the teaching and learning process? And how can pedagogical supervision be made more effective to enhance student performance? The justification for this study encompasses three dimensions: personal, social, and scientific. On a personal level, the study is relevant because it allowed for the identification and implementation of strategies at the Santa Ana da Munhuana Community School aimed at making pedagogical supervision more effective and achieving tangible improvements in student outcomes. From a social perspective, the study highlights the crucial role of effective pedagogical supervision in the success of basic education, ensuring that students acquire essential competencies for their academic journey. Continuous and structured supervision also strengthens teacher motivation and commitment, positively impacting the quality of teaching and learning. From a scientific standpoint, the study contributes valuable insights into pedagogical supervision, a topic often overlooked. It provides theoretical and practical foundations for understanding the role of supervision in improving educational processes, addressing gaps in the existing literature, and serving as a basis for future research. The study demonstrates that pedagogical supervision should not be seen merely as a control mechanism but as an essential tool for the continuous development of teachers and the promotion of effective teaching practices. Therefore, effective pedagogical supervision can enhance teaching quality, ensure the application of sound pedagogical practices, and significantly contribute to the success of students at the Santa Ana da Munhuana Community School.
