Abstract: This study is designed as a follow up study that aimed to find supervisory styles of two supervisors. The aim of this study is to find out the perceptions of the supervisors on their styles. The data were collected by carrying out a structured interview with the supervisors in order to detect their perceptions of the styles they used in the conferences. The aim was to get the reflections of the supervisors on their styles, and to find whether there were differences between their perceptions of their behaviors in pre-observation conferences and which behaviors they actually employed in pre-observation conferences. This session was recorded and transcribed. The interview session showed that the perceptions of the supervisors on their supervisory behaviors were different from their actual behaviors in the conferences. A number of implications were drawn from the study for pre-service teacher education, teaching practicum and the training of supervisors.
