A study of the
relationship between learning organization and school effectiveness
managed by elementary school principals
The research is to realize the
current situation of learning organization
and school effectiveness managed by the principal in the elementary
school,and
to forward conclusions and suggestions according to the results. Based
on the
motivations, it can be categorized into seven purposes:
1. to explore the content and current situation of learning organization
and
school effectiveness managed by the principal in the elementary school.
2. to explore the score differences between the elementary principal
and
teacher in managing learning organization under the variable of different
background.
3. to explore the score differences between the principal and the teacher
in
school effectiveness under the variable of different background.
4. to explore the relationship between the principal and the teacher
in
managing learning organization and school effectiveness.
5. to explore the score differences between the principal and the teacher
in
school effectiveness, who score low, medium and high respectively in
managing
learning organization.
6. to explore the influence of learning organization managed by the
principal
and the teacher on school effectiveness.
7. to present, according to the results, constructive suggestions to
the
administration, the principal and the teacher in the elementary school,serving
as a reference for the elementary principal in the management of learning
organization.
To achieve the aims mentioned above, the research starts from exploring
the theories of learning organization and school effectiveness through
related
papers and articles, from which the fundamental theory is formed, the
framework constructed, and the research questions derived. In order
to gather
related data and information, it is followed by sending out the
self-made questionnaire on “The cognition of the elementary principal
in
terms of the management of learning organization and school effectiveness”.
The researcher intends to restrict the targets within the range of present
principals, directors, group leaders, homeroom and subject teachers,adopting
stratified cluster sampling by ratio of the school numbers and sizes.Thus,
689
valid copies are collected. After the data have been carefully studied
by
using statistical methods of factor analysis, reliability analysis,descriptive
statistics, t test, product-moment correlation analysis, analysis of
variance,
multivariate analysis of variance, afterwards hierarchical
comparison, linear structure correlation analysis, etc., the main discoveries
are as follows:
Ⅰ. About the teacher :
1. It is noted that on the five-point rating scale of managing
learning organization, the teachers score between 3.86 and
4.19 points, which is above the average, in Personal Mastery,
Improving Mental Models,Systems Thinking and Organization
Learning from high to low.
2.It is noted that on the five-point rating scale of school
effectiveness,the teachers score above the average between
3.73 and 4.03 points in Administration Leadership, Teaching
Performance, Public Relations,Environmental Facilities, and
Student Performance from high to low.
3.Different “age”, “seniority”, “present position”,
“school location” and“school size” all contribute to make
a lot of difference in the teacher’s management of learning
organization.
4. Different “age”, “education background”, “seniority”,
“present position”,“school history”, “school location”
and “school size” all contribute to make a lot of
difference in the teacher’s management of school
effectiveness.
5.All things considered, learning organization and school
effectiveness are positively correlated. That is to say, the
elementary teacher who makes higher scores in learning
organization scores higher in school effectiveness, too. On
top of that, the teacher does a better job when he or she
puts school effectiveness into practice.
6.Among the three groups of teachers who score low, medium, and
high respectively, the score differences between completely
managing learning organization and its items and total school
effectiveness and its items are striking.
7.On the main access which leads “managing learning
organization” to“school effectiveness”, the access
coefficient is up to .93, and t value 21.59, reaching a high
standard of 0.01. In other words, the upstream variable
“managing learning organization” has a strong influence on
the downstream variable “school effectiveness”.
Ⅱ. About the principal :
1.It is noted that on the five-point rating scale of managing
learning organization, the principals score between 4.23 and
4.65 points,which is reasonably well, in Personal Mastery,
Improving Mental Models, Systems Thinking, and Organization
Learning from high to low.
2.It is noted that on the five-point rating scale of school
effectiveness,the principals score reasonably well between
4.17 and 4.55 points in Administration Leadership, Public
Relations, Environmental Facilities,Teaching Performance, and
Student Performance from high to low.
3.Different “education background”, “seniority”, “school
location” all contribute to make a lot of difference in the
principal’s management of learning organization. Different
“education background” also makes a lot of difference in the
principal’s performance in Systems Thinking.
4.The principals of the opposite sexes perform quite ifferently
in “Environmental Facilities” of school effectiveness, so
do the principals of different age in “Administration
Leadership” of school effectiveness.
5.All things considered, learning organization and school
effectiveness are positively correlated. That is, the
elementary principal who makes higher scores in learning
organization scores higher in school effectiveness, too. In
addition, the principal does a better job when he or she puts
school effectiveness into practice.
6.Among the three groups of principals who score low, medium,
and high respectively, the differences between completely
managing learning organization and its items and total school
effectiveness and its items are striking.
7.On the main access which leads “managing learning
organization” to“school effectiveness”, the access
coefficient is .91, and t value 8.12,reaching a high standard
of 0.01. In other words, the upstream variable“managing
learning organization” has a strong influence on the
downstream variable “school effectiveness”.
Finally, based on the research results, discussion and conclusions,the
researcher advances the suggestions on
“Institute of Educational Administration”, “Elementary
School Principals”, “Elementary School Teachers” and “Related Researches
In The Future”, hoping that they can
be of referential value as far as administration research and practice
are
concerned. |
