Secondary school principals' implementation of instructional leadership in the Amajuba District of KwaZulu-NatalNtombela, Lindiwe Sybil 05 1900 (has links)
The aim of this study was to find out the perceptions on the principals’ implementation of instructional leadership in the Amajuba District of KwaZulu-Natal with a view to provide guidelines that may be employed to enhance the execution of this role.
Scholars believe that instructional leadership can assist in the transformation of schools into effective schools with consistent high learner achievement. In the Amajuba District schools show fluctuation in their grade twelve results, hence the need to investigate the principals’ implementation of instructional leadership. The grade 12 results were used because it is assumed that the variance is indicative of the differences in the principal’ leadership roles in these schools.
This qualitative study examines the principals’ instructional leadership role. Data was gathered by means of literature study and focus group interviews. Four interviews were held: three with Deputy Principals and Heads of Departments, and the fourth one comprised of principals of the six selected secondary schools. / Educational Leadership and Management / M.

The roles of the principal in the implementation of the culture of learning, teaching, and service (colts) in the secondary schools in Mopani District of Limpopo Province - South AfricaSebopetsa, Ngwako Stephen 21 September 2018 (has links)
DEd (Educational Management) / Department of Educational Management / The study aims to compare the role of the principal in implementing the culture of learning,
teaching and service (COLTS) in the effective, ineffective and schools experiencing
fluctuating NSC results for the past five years. The study explores why secondary schools
located within the same socio-economic environment, with the same resources, uniformly
funded and controlled by the same government and ultimately there are commitment
variation, hence effective schools, ineffective schools and schools with fluctuating results.
Therefore, in an attempt to attempt to answer the main research question for this thesis:
What role should be played by the secondary school principals in implementing the
culture of learning, teaching and service? Other identified sub-questions were raised.
Furthermore, a review of relevant literature was conducted and uncovered what makes a
good and good school leadership, management and provision of quality service on
international scale, that is, in developed, developing and under-developed countries. The
Situational Leadership Theory (SLT) of Hersey and Blanchard was regarded as the most
suitable theory since the theory proposes that individuals can change their leadership
style (behaviour) depending on the situation and the readiness of the followers.
Mopani District consists of 24 circuits and 6 circuits were purposively sampled and data
was collected from these 6 circuits which have effective, ineffective and secondary
schools experiencing fluctuating NSC results for the past five years. Quantitatively, a
total number of 38 secondary school principals as key-informants subjects were given a
questionnaire to respond on the set questions which was later analysed through the
SPSS version 17.1 programme and empirical deduction was made. Additionally,
qualitative method of data collection was used on 20 participants, on-site observation and
document analysis. The researcher utilised the focus group (semi-structured) interview
on 7 secondary school principals and 7 SGB members and one-on-one semi-structured
interview on 3 Curriculum advisors and 3 Governance officers in order to gather rich
qualitative data. The principle of anonymity was utilised on which codes were used in
order to conceal the identity of the participants so that they could participate freely in data
collection. The researcher analysed data collected from focus group interview and visited
vi
schools (on-site observation) of the principals who participated in the interview in order to
verify the authenticity of data and also checked school records to validate collected data.
All the collected qualitative data (from interviews) and confirmed through site-observation
and school records. Collected data was analysed and themes were developed linked to
the objectives of the study. A number of findings emanated from this study. The
principals were found to be the final authority and accounting officer for the school on
which teaching, learning and service is the primary duty. The study revealed that the
principals play a substantial impact for the implementation of the culture of learning,
teaching and service. The study recommends that principals must ensure that planning,
monitoring and support of teaching and learning must be a priority duty of the principal.
Furthermore, basic policies that are necessary for the school to be effective must be
compulsory to all schools and the DBE must ensure that its implementation is strictly
monitored, for instance school starting and departure time and school uniform. The
researcher developed a model which contributes to the new body of knowledge which
emphasises the support from different stake-holders that can contribute extensively
towards the implementation of the culture of learning, teaching and service in schools. / NRF
