The role of the principal in promoting a culture of leaning and teaching in Shiselweni High School in SwazilandNdlela, Julia Nelisiwe 11 1900 (has links)
The researcher has observed and noted that out of the four regions of Swaziland,
Shiselweni is the leading region with high schools that manifest a poor culture of learning
and teaching. The summary of 2009 Junior Certificate results revealed that it is not only
that Shiselweni had the lowest pass rate, but also that it recorded the highest number of
failures when compared with the other three regions. The purpose of the study was to
determine strategies that could be used by principals in promoting a culture of learning
and teaching in Shiselweni high schools in Swaziland.
The study pursued a qualitative research design which was explorative and descriptive.
Qualitative methods were used to collect data from the respondents. Data was collected
by means of focus group interviews with learners and teachers, and then through one-onone
interviews with principals and parents. The sample was drawn from six high schools
in the Shiselweni region that differed in their academic performance. Purposive sampling
was used when selecting the schools and those who were to participate in the study.
Data was constantly compared and analyzed using the coding method. Participants signed
letters of consent and they were assured of the anonymity and confidentiality of the
study. They were also made aware that they were not forced to participate in the study
and that they were free to withdraw if they were so persuaded.
Triangulation and the Guba’s trustworthiness model were used to enhance the reliability
and validity of the study. Findings helped the researcher to arrive at recommendations on
the role that principals should play in promoting a culture of learning and teaching in
Shiselweni high schools in Swaziland. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Educational Management)
