The purpose of this study was to investigate how teachers, parents and principals of "selected" high, middle and elementary schools perceived their role in the decision making process as a result of school-based management and five years prior to school-based management. / A Likert-type scale questionnaire was designed and distributed to 718 teachers, parents and principals in six public schools in a North Central Florida County. A total of 395 (55 percent) was returned. / The analytical treatment of the data was accomplished through the ANOVA procedure (commerical program used to perform analysis of variance) and the Duncan New Multiple Range Test. / In general, the results of this study indicated the subjects' perception of their role in the decision-making process differed significantly by position, experience, and age. While there were some differences in the subjects' perception of their roles in the decision making process as a result of school-based management, they did not differ significantly with regards to their sex, type and level of school associated with, and level of education. / More specifically, the findings revealed the following information regarding the decision making process five years after the implementation of school-based management: (1) Of the positions studied the elementary principals experienced the greatest change in the perception of their role, while high school teachers and middle school parents showed the least amount of change. (2) The perceived role of those subjects studied in the one to four years experience group had a greater change than any other experience group, while those subjects in the eleven to fifteen years experience group experienced the least amount of change. (3) Of the different age groups studied, those in the twenty to twenty-four age group had the greatest amount of change in their perceived role, while those subjects in the fifty-one to sixty age group had the least amount of change. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 46-04, Section: A, page: 0857. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1985.
