The political role of the principal in community/school system relationsHartzman, Marlene January 1986 (has links)
As educational resources dwindle, school principals are increasingly finding themselves functioning as mediators in financial matters affecting their community and school system. How principals function in this role may impact on perceptions of their effectiveness and on the resources their schools receive. Principals functioning in this capacity need to be studied to identify effective and ineffective strategies for this political role.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether notable differences in strategies can be identified between a principal in a school which was allocated more resources and one in a school receiving less. The study is a case analysis of two neighborhoods, in the same school district, that petitioned their school board for an increased allocation of resources. The behaviors of the two principals, their relationships with members of the neighborhoods and with the school system will be examined. By identifying these relationships and key behaviors, insights to effective strategies for principals to use when assisting communities that are petitioning school systems for additional resources are obtained. / Ed.

The School-Family-Community Partnership: A Superintendent's PerspectivePerry, Brant Patrick 12 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to describe, from a superintendent's perspective, the current status of school-family-community partnerships in North Texas school districts. A secondary purpose of this study was to allow the superintendents to express themselves in an open-ended format regarding factors that encourage and limit the development of these partnerships, as well as their three-year goals for creating successful partnerships in their districts. A review of the literature revealed that very limited research exists regarding the relationship between the school superintendent and the school-family-community partnership. This literature review focused on research related to the school-family-community partnership including its place in federal legislation, and a historical and current perspective of the school superintendency. The target population for this study included 156 superintendents from the two educational service centers that make up the Dallas/Fort-Worth Metroplex. This research study employed an online survey research methodology. The instrument used in this study was the Measure of School, Family, and Community Partnerships by Dr. Joyce Epstein of Johns Hopkins University. Participants were asked to respond to fifty-two items placed in the six categories that represent Dr. Epstein's six types of involvement. Superintendents were also asked to respond to open-ended questions regarding what they perceive to be major factors that contribute to and limit the success of their school districts' school-family-community partnership efforts and what their primary goals were for improving these partnerships over the next three years. An analysis of district size in relation to superintendent perceptions of their district's school-family-partnership practices yielded no significant partnership practices. An analysis of district accountability ratings in relation to superintendent perceptions of their district's school-family-partnership practices yielded seven significant partnership practices. Finally, an analysis of superintendent experience yielded four significant superintendent partnership practices. The major factors superintendents perceive as not only contributing to, but limiting the success of their partnership programs revolved around parent involvement. The primary three-year goal that superintendent's reported for improving their district partnership programs overwhelmingly involved enhancing parent involvement.

Co-operative school governance : from policy to practiceLooyen, Roger 06 1900 (has links)
The aim of this research is to establish the extent to which principals of schools in
Gauteng are implementing co-operative school governance. The shift to co-operative
governance is a result of new legislation, and in particular the South African Schools Act
84 of 1996, which aims at redressing the inequalities of past legislation.
To determine the extent, to which principals are engaged in co-operative governance, a
questionnaire was designed to elicit essential information as to how co-operative
governance has been practically implemented. The research attempted to evaluate the
commitment and dedication of principals to the process of shared decision-making;
decentralisation and accountability; to engendering healthy relations with governors; to
ensure that legislation is complied with as regards the composition of governing bodies; and to encourage governors to attend training. / Educational Studies / M.Ed. (Education Management)

Business involvement with education in the Dzumeri rural communityMabunda, Nghenani Peter 06 1900 (has links)
Rural education in South Africa, particularly within the black communities,
has suffered neglect under Apartheid education policies. This has resulted
in an array of problems which continue to beset the country's education
system.
The community, through its various institutions, has a major role to play in
the whole education renewal process. The business sector is one such a
community institution, which is directly affected by the quality of school
education. Countries such as Britain and the U.S. provide excellent
examples of close co-operation between business and schools in an effort to
prepare pupils in accordance with the needs of the workplace.
The qualitative study conducted in schools, within the Dzumeri community,
showed that there is a dire need for business involvement with schools in
order to address important areas of mutual concern. It is finally
recommended that the government must formulate enabling policies, which
will promote business education partnership activities and ensure proper coordination at all administrative levels / Educational Studies / M.Ed. (Comparative Education)

The conceptualisation and application of service-learning in higher education : a case studyDaniels, Freda J. 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The central question that this research study addresses is whether higher
education institutions in South Africa are sufficiently meeting the needs of their
students, by contextualising and integrating their academic curricula with service
delivery in communities. The higher education sector has been criticized for not
adequately promoting and developing social responsibility in the context of civic
awareness among their students.
This study suggests that service-learning could become a vital force in educational
change and promote social equity by enabling the advancement of historically
disadvantaged communities. Service-learning could thus be the vehicle that links
academic learning outcomes, service in communities and civic education.
The purpose of this study is to explore the theoretical foundations of servicelearning
in order to achieve a deeper understanding of what service-learning
entails. The Occupational Therapy Department of the University of Stellenbosch
was selected as a case study to critically assess to what extent it has
conceptualised, planned, implemented and assessed its service-learning
programmes in terms of the key elements, principles and goals of service-learning.
The research strategy for this study is a qualitative case study. Qualitative data
was obtained through the completion of an open-ended questionnaire by the final
year Occupational Therapy students. Semi-structured interviews were also
conducted with the head of the department and different representatives of the
community project that was selected for the purpose of this research study.
The study concludes that the Occupational Therapy Department did in fact,
integrate its academic curriculum outcomes with service delivery in the community.
However, the development of civic awareness among students needs to be
explicitly linked to the academic learning outcomes and service delivery in
communities. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die vraagstuk wat hierdie studie probeer aanspreek, is om vas te stel tot watter
mate instansies vir hoër onderrig en opvoeding in Suid Afrika die behoeftes van
hul studente aanspreek. Die instansies word gekritiseer dat hulle akademiese
kurrikulums nie genoegsaam geïntegreerd is met dienslewering in die
gemeenskap nie, en dat hulle ook nie genoegsame sosiale verantwoordelikheid en
gemeenskapsbewustheid by hulle studente aanmoedig nie.
Hierdie studie stel voor dat diensleer gebruik word as 'n tegniek vir opvoedkundige
veranderinge en die bevordering van sosiale gelykheid vir die bemagtiging van
histories benadeelde gemeenskappe. Diensleer kan dus gebruik word om
akademiese leer uitkomste, dienslewering en burgerlike opvoeding te verbind.
Die doel van hierdie navorsing is om die teoretiese basis van diensleer te
ondersoek om sodoende 'n deeglike begrip te kry van wat diensleer werklik
behels. Die Arbeidsterapie Departement van die Universiteit van Stellenbosch is
gekies as gevallestudie om vas te stel hoe hulle hul diensleer programme
konseptualiseer, beplan, implementeer en assesseer, t.o.v. die kern elemente,
beginsels en doelstellings van diensleer.
Die navorsingstrategie wat aangewend is om die doel van hierdie navorsing te
bereik, is 'n kwalitatiewe gevallestudie. Kwalitatiewe data is verkry deur die
voltooiing van 'n ope vraelys deur die finale jaar Arbeidsterapie studente en deur
semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude met die hoof van die Arbeidsterapie
Departement en verteenwoordigers van 'n gemeenskapsprojek wat gekies is vir
die doel van die studie.
Die studie het vasgestel dat die Arbeidsterapie Departement se akademiese
kurrikulum uitkomste wel met dienslewering in die gemeenskap geïntegreerd is. In
die lig van die navorsingsbevindinge word 'n aanbeveling gemaak dat die
ontwikkeling van burgelikebewustheid en sosiale verantwoordelikheid ten opsigte
van gemeenskapsbehoeftes, direk verbind moet word aan akademiese leer en
diens uitkomste.

Strategic Planning : A Process for Restructuring the Public Schools and Improving Community SupportBingham, Wayne D. (Wayne Douglas) 05 1900 (has links)
The problem of this study was to determine the change in public support which would occur due to a public school district's going through a strategic planning process and then the implementation of specific action plans. The purpose of the study was to demonstrate that the public support necessary to assure adequate funding for the district's programs could be gained by involving the community in a broad-based planning effort and by demonstrating a concerted effort to implement the actions required by the plan.
