The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of principals who had served in their positions prior to and since the state-mandated implementation of site-based management. The study sought to determine if the state mandates impacted the principals' perceptions regarding the pre-existing site-based management in their district. The study also sought to determine relationships between support or lack of support and the principals' gender, age, ethnicity, years as principal, and educational level.

This thesis investigates the views of principals in government schools in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) regarding school based management (SBM). School based management is defined as the delegation of certain decision making functions from central bureaucratic control to a group of personnel located at the school site. In the case of the ACT, delegation of decision making to school sites began in 1974. An additional set of responsibilities was delegated in the 1997/98 period. This study concentrates on the latter period but also takes the extended period of devolution into account. This investigation is based on qualitative and quantitative methods of enquiry and data collection to investigate principals' perceptions of SBM, particularly in relation to the demographic variables of the schools, and selected personal and professional characteristics of the principals. Initially twenty six semi-structured interviews were conducted with principals to determine a framework of seven constructs in relation to SBM. Qualitative data are reported by drawing on the extensive unabridged transcripts of the interviews. The data arising from the interview stage formed the basis for construction of a questionnaire administered to the total population of ninety seven principals in government schools in the ACT. The questionnaire consists of demographic, personal and professional items concerning the school and the principal, items related to the impact of SBM, questions regarding the principals' perceptions of satisfaction with their work, and the importance principals place on selected aspects of their role, particularly following the extension of SBM. Results of the questionnaire are reported using frequency distribution for each of the items in the questionnaire, followed by factor analysis and analysis of variance to test significant differences in the principals' views at the 0.05 or greater level. Results of these analyses show that principals have common perceptions in general about the nature and impact of SBM. Principals' perceptions are however, mediated by a number of independent variables. These are gender of the principal, experience of more than one year's work outside the field of education, the sector of their school, ie primary, high school or college, and the geographic location of the school. Their participation in SBM training programs, bureaucratic support to assist them in implementing SBM, and their expressed need for continued professional development are additional independent variables where statistically significant differences are apparent. Principals in this study view the extension of SBM responsibilities more as an administrative function, than an opportunity to engage in restructuring the school. They see that their role has expanded to place strong emphasis on business management and they consider that they are now working in a market oriented climate where competition for students is a real issue. Hours of work have increased, and maintenance of a balance between work and personal life is a growing concern. Despite this they do not want to return to the former arrangements and continue to express satisfaction with the intrinsic rewards of their profession such as contact with students, colleagues and the community. These results provide important insights into the type of SBM evident in ACT government schools at the time of this study. A number of recommendations for future research and practice are presented related to the findings and linked to the key themes arising in the literature.These suggest ways that SBM can and might be used as a catalyst for development of a new paradigm for education, which will meet the needs of a 'knowledge society' (Drucker, 1995) and engage schools in moving 'beyond the self managing school', (Caldwell and Spinks, 1998).

The research dissects how to construct the setup of school-based curriculum management and to carry the plan into execution through studying a junior high school. The research helps the teachers grow in professional knowledge, encourages them to have professional teamwork and makes them innovate their teaching, so that they can elevate the quality of school teaching. The purposes of the research are as followed: 1. To dissect the theory of school-based curriculum management in junior high school, which can be the basis of constructing the school-based curriculum management. 2. To dissect how to construct the setup of school-based curriculum management in junior high school through action research. 3. To dissect the difficulties and stratagem of solving problems which the junior high school encounters in constructing school-based curriculum management. 4. According to the research result and practical experience, the research brings up conclusions and suggestions, which can be the reference of enforcing school-based curriculum management while junior high school puts nine-year curriculum into practice. In order to achieve the purposes of research, I take the ways of action research, literature reviews, participatory observation, individual interview, documentary analysis and so on. As to the ways of collecting information, I take notes, record in the interview, take notes in the meetings, and keep research diaries and keep analyzing information in all aspects. Through the continuous comparison, the research results show: 1. The process of action research is filled with uncertainties, which is a matter of deep concern to the success and failure of research, because the researchers can¡¦t have the chances of penetrating, communicating and coordinating about the uncertainties. 2. Action researchers should take the serious attitude towards researching ethical issues. 3. Such elements as the principle¡¦s philosophy of curriculum-based coordination, macroscopic ability of organizing and interacting the school administration, and the level of teacher¡¦s autonomy have great influence on the research results. 4. Administration¡X the professional teaching teamwork and team spirit have a lot to do with the success and failure of conducting school-based curriculum management. 5. Constructing the setup of school-based curriculum management in Chuan-Yang junior high school includes the setup of dispensing curriculum affairs, the setup of evaluating curriculums and teaching, the setup of evaluating school curriculum management and so on. 6. School teaching administration should hold ¡§the spirit of school-based curriculum management, ¡¨ so that school can enforce the affairs of school-based curriculum management effectively and specifically. 7. The group, which enforces curriculum management, not only accumulates practical experience and constructs systematic knowledge, but also encounters lots of difficulties and obstacles. Because the problems appear, the group keeps studying the solution of project and improving the problems. The procedure of solving problems is as followed: finding problems
