The methods of this study are analyses of the records and documents, surveys, and interviews. There are two implements of this research; one is self-made questionnaire entitled “the research on the orientation of the instructional supervision in elementary schools and the evaluation of the effect,” and the other one is a document entitled “the scheme of the interview about the orientation of the instructional supervision in elementary schools and the evaluation of the effect.” The categories of the testee are: the school principals in Miaoli county, the teachers who serve as coordinators concurrently, the teachers who serve as directors concurrently, the teachers (including teachers who are administers of the classes and the teachers who only teach in certain field.) The number of the testees is 500 in the aggregate. There are 490 questionnaires were returned from the testee, and 490 copies are effective among them. We login all effective data with coding, utilize the SPSS/10.0(which is a sort of statistical software) software to run those data, and adopt descriptive statistics analysis, t test, one-way analysis of variance, Scheffe method, multiple regression analysis and other statistical methods. Additionally, we have two ways to do the interviews: one is to interview face to face; the other is to interview by telephone. Three principals, three experts, and three teachers from the other three categories are chosen to have interviews individually. Hopefully, the research can draw conclusion and propose suggestions to principals and the administrative machinery by implementing of the design, analyzing the documents and records comprehensively, assaying the outcomes of the questionnaire and the interviews. There are some conclusions below： First, the orientation of the instructional supervision in elementary schools and the evaluation of the effect are both in high degree generally.
