The final version of the questionnaire consisted of 67 items divided into nine competencies. After verifying the scientific validity of the questionnaire through expert validation, internal consistency, and construct validity, the reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed using two methods: split-half reliability and Cronbachs alpha coefficient. The questionnaire was then distributed to the sample.The study's main findings were identifying the supervisory competencies of the educational supervisor and developing a list of supervisory competencies for physical education supervisors, which included 67 sub-competencies classified into nine main competencies.
