Supervisión escolar cultura oranizacional posmodernismo. This paper inquires if the school supervision is in decadence. Dr. Waite responds that the answer will depend on which perspective you look at it. Dr. Waite suggests taking in consideration three elements that are related: the field itself, the expert in the field (the professor, the theorist, the student and the administrator), and the context. When these three elements are revised, it emphasizes that there is not a consensus about the field of supervision, but there are coincidences related to its importance and that it is related to the improvement of the practice of the students in the school for their benefit. Dr. Waite suggests that the practice on this field is not always in harmony with what the theorists affirm. When referring to the supervisor or the skilled person, the author indicates that his or her perspective depends on his or her epistemological believes or in the way he or she conceives the learning; that is why supervision can be understood in different ways. About the context, Waite suggests that there have to be taken in consideration the social or external forces that influent the people and the society, because through them the education is affected. Dr. Waite concludes that the way to understand the supervision depends on the performer’s perspective. He responds to the initial question saying that the supervision authorities, the knowledge on this field, the performers, and its practice, are maybe spread but not extinct because the supervision will always be part of the great enterprise that we called education. Este trabajo parte de cuestionar hacia dónde va la supervisión escolar. Waite responde que esto depende de la perspectiva desde que se le observe y sugiere tomar en cuenta tres elementos que están interrelacionados: el campo por sí mismo, el conocedor del campo (sea el profesor, el teórico, el estudiante o el administrador), y el contexto. Al hacer la revisión de estos elementos destaca que en el campo de la supervisión no hay un consenso sobre su definición, pero sí hay coincidencias en cuanto a que la supervisión es importante y que tiene que ver con la mejora de la práctica en el aula para el beneficio de los estudiantes. Waite hace ver que la práctica en este campo no siempre va de acuerdo con lo que los teóricos de afirman. Para referirse al actor de la supervisión o el conocedor, el autor señala que su perspectiva depende de sus creencias epistemológicas o la forma en que conciba el aprendizaje; por ello, la supervisión puede entenderse de distintas maneras. Del contexto sugiere que deben tomarse en cuenta las fuerzas sociales o externas que tienen influencia en la gente y la sociedad, pues a través de ellas pasan a la educación. Waite concluye enfatizando que la manera e entender la supervisión depende de la perspectiva del actor. Responde a su pregunta inicial diciendo que las autoridades de la supervisión, el conocimiento de este campo, los actores y las prácticas en él, quizá se han vuelto difusos, pero no están extintos; ya que la supervisión siempre será parte de la gran empresa a la que llamamos educación.
