An investigation into the roles of principals as instructional leaders in the Setla-Kgobi area project office of the central region in the North West / Sebusang Sophia TongTong, Sebusang Sophia January 2010 (has links)
The purpose of this research project is to determine empirically the roles of principals as
instructional leaders. Ever since a new educational era started in the new South Africa, schools
cannot afford to be led by ignorant school principals. For schools to be efficient, instructional
leadership roles have to be defined and each role should be carried out diligently.
Success in schools can only be realised if school principals are capable of implementing the
school curriculum according to instructional leadership principles. The tasks of instructional
leadership have to be streamlined. The school principal must concentrate on the most important
and key functions of his work. This approach would lead to the realisation of the school vision
and mission
Both quantitative and qualitative research paradigms and methodologies were used for
gathering data from eighty-four public schools in the Setla-Kgobi Area Project Office of the
Central Region in the North-West Province. Participating schools were randomly selected. The
sample consisted of forty-two schools (thirty primary schools, six middle schools, six secondary
schools) and eight randomly selected teachers from each school were used in the study to
answer questionnaires. Nine school Principals or Deputy Principals from Setla-Kgobi Area
Project Office (i.e:- three primary schools, three middle schools and three secondary schools
Principals or Deputy Principals) were purposefully used in the study to answer interview
questions
A quantitative approach was used to quantitatively analyse derived data. The Statistical Package
for Social Sciences (SPSS) was employed with the help of the statistical consultant of the
North-West University. The computation of percentages, mean, standard deviation and Chi-square
was conducted. Secondly, a qualitative descriptive approach was used to analyse data
that was qualitatively gathered. A Textually Oriented Data Analysis (TODA) strategy was
adopted in this regard.
The findings exposed that principals were not effectively fulfilling their roles of instructional
leadership. The findings also revealed that principals were not monitoring and moderating the
quality of education that students were getting from teachers. Principals were found to be
ineffective and they failed to plan their work adequately.
Recommendations given by the participants suggest that there is need for principals to be more
focused. They .also need to have a vision and mission statement for their schools. More energy
should be directed at monitoring the quality of learning and teaching that takes place in schools.
Participants reflected a poor picture of principals as instructional leaders. More effort should be
put into the students' instructional achievement, teacher motivation, supervision of training and
the use of external subject experts. Whole curriculum evaluation should be earned out regularly
at every school, so as to provide feedback to students and teachers. Principals should have
checklists that will guide them towards the realisation of their aims and objectives / Thesis (M.Ed) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2010

Factors Affecting Students¡¦ Choices of Senior High Schools without Following the School Ranking by Joint Entrance ExamTu, Yu-ming 06 July 2011 (has links)
President Ma Ying-jeou proclaimed the 12-year compulsory education plan on January 1st, 2011 (the 100th Year of Republic of China). From 2014 onward, both senior high and vocational schools will require no tuition, and most of them can be attended without the requirement of students passing an entrance exam. This policy marks a milestone in Taiwan¡¦s high school admission system. In the future, students graduating from junior high schools may choose a school they favor, rather than having no choice but to attend the one according to their exam results, as was the practice in the past. Purposive sampling was adopted with the freshmen in eight public senior high schools in Kaohsiung as the subjects; two classes in each school were sampled with the questionnaire based on four dimensions: ¡§background of the senior high schools¡¨, ¡§influencing factors occurring during the process of choosing a school¡¨, ¡§main information channels to better understand the senior high schools¡¨, and ¡§related consultations on how to choose a senior high school.¡¨ The aim was to compare the behaviors in choosing a senior high school among the students who do not follow the conventional school ranking as determined by the entrance exam and those who do, in order to explore the factors that affect the process of choosing a senior high school by those who do not follow the practice. The study results show that:
1. Both the students who follow the practice and those who do not, value the dimensions: ¡§background of the senior high schools¡¨ the most, such as ¡§ratio of students entering a university¡¨, ¡§school image (reputation)¡¨, and ¡§school ranking in accordance with the entrance exam result¡¨, etc.
2. Those who do and do not follow the practice differ in choosing a school in terms of four aspects: ¡§whether there is a classmate attending the same senior high school¡¨, ¡§whether background information on the senior high school is available¡¨, ¡§whether the senior high schools hold recruitment activities on the students¡¦ campus¡¨, and ¡§whether related consultation data is issued by the junior high schools they are attending.¡¨ Through a logistic regression analysis, it was found that the three aspects ¡§classmate¡¨, ¡§background information¡¨, and ¡§consultation data¡¨ are significantly predictive regarding the behavior of choosing a senior high school by both groups of students.
According to the study results, suggestions are proposed regarding senior high and vocational schools¡¦ planning of future marketing strategies and junior high schools¡¦ provision of consultations about choosing a senior high school. In addition, suggestions are advanced to education administrative organizations for the implementation of the 12-year compulsory education. Finally, suggestions for follow-up studies are also listed.
