This research was done to determine the problems primary school supervisors confronted during the investigation process in 2009-2010 instructional year in Kahramanmaraş. There are 63 primary school supervisors working in Kahramanmaraş. The study group in that research comprises 27 primary school supervisors who accepted to be interviewed from the whole. This research is a qualitative study in which the views of the primary school supervisors were taken by interview technique. Nine semi-structured questions were directed to each supervisor in the interview and the replies were recorded through writing by the researcher. The responses were analyzed by forming themes and the views were interpreted along with these themes according to frequencies. The obtained results revealed that during the investigation process, primary school supervisors were exposed to various problems that might produce negative effects for their jobs. To overcome these problems, some recommendations were made concomitant with the obtained results.
