The purpose of this research is to realize the current status of the scale of
elementary schools, organizational loose coupling and school effectiveness,
and to put a conclusion and suggestion from the overcome of research. Based on
three incentives of study, it is summed up to five concrete objects of
research below:
1. To realize the difference of organizational loose coupling among
different-size elementary schools.
2. To realize the difference of school effectiveness among different-size
elementary schools.
3. To realize the difference of school effectiveness among low-level, middle-
level and high-level organizational loose couplings of elementary schools.
4. To realize the influence of the organizational loose coupling of
elementary schools on school effectiveness.
5. To put a conclusion from the overcome of this research and further
propose suggestions for the reference of educational administrative agencies
or principals of elementary schools or training institutions for teachers.
For attaining the above-mentioned objects, this research starts its initial
study at "School Scale", "Organizational Loose Coupling" and "School
Effectiveness" through the source of domestic or foreign reference materials.
The main structure and index of this research work is formed by the theoretic
ground of the said three topics for further inducting its question points.
Following to the forming of research structure, it will be supported by a self-
made questionnaire in the topics of elaboration status of elementary schools,
organizational loose coupling and school effectiveness, and collecting other
referred materials. The test objects of questionnaire are set at principals,
directors, section chiefs, class teachers and course teachers of public
elementary schools located in Taipei County, Taipei City, Keelung City and
Taoyuan County and its sampling is made according to the rating of class
number of schools. Eventually, it totals receiving 644 copies in feedback.
This work is concluded in the statistic analysis of research sources including
component analysis, reliability analysis, description statistics, "t" test,
one-way ANOVA, comparison analysis and linear structural analysis. Through
this statistic analysis, the outcome is as following:
1.With regard to the organizational loose coupling of elementary schools:
It is found that the items listed in the Q-Plot of teacher to organizational
loose coupling scoring from high to low are in order: " Circulation Status of
Organizational Information Network", "Organizational Professional Autonomy", "
Status of Organizational Decision-Making and Authorization", "Comprehensive
Insight Ability of Organization Personnel", "Organizational Rules and
Standards", "Organizational Communication and Coordination", "Organizational
Evaluation System", "Participation of Organization Planning" and "Provision of
Organizational Resource". Their score in 5-point Q-Plot is average between 18.
68 and 20.03, ranged at the middle-upper level.
2.With regard to school effectiveness of elementary schools:
It is found that the items listed in the Q-Plot of teacher to school
effectiveness scoring from high to low are in order: "School Atmosphere", "
School's Administrative Leadership", "School's Environment and Facilities", "
Teacher's Teaching Effectiveness", "Parental Support from Community" and "
Student's Comprehensive Performance". Their score in 5-point Q-Plot is average
between15.51 and 16.39, ranged at the middle-upper level.
3.With regard to organizational loose coupling of different-size elementary
schools:
It is found that in organizational tight, the schools with below 24 classes
are better than those with 25-72 classes, and the schools with below 24
classes are also better than those with over 73 classes. The difference shown
in the said two examples is quite obvious. But the difference shown in the
schools with 25-72 classes and the schools with over 73 classes is not much.
It means that in the level of loose coupling in schools, the schools with
below 24 classes are lower than those with 25-72 classes, and the schools with
below 24 classes are also lower than those with over 73 classes. The
difference shown in the said two examples is quite obvious. But the difference
shown in the schools with 25-72 classes and the schools with over 73 classes
is not much.
4.With regard to school effectiveness of different-size elementary schools:
It is found that in school effectiveness, the schools with below 24 classes
are better than those with 25-72 classes, and the schools with below 24
classes are also better than those with over 73 classes. The difference shown
in the said two examples is quite obvious. But the difference shown in the
schools with 25-72 classes and the schools with over 73 classes is not much.
5.With regard to school effectiveness of low-level, middle-level and high-
level organizational loose couplings:
It is found that the difference shown in low-level, middle-level and high-
level organizational loose couplings is quite obvious. It means that in school
effectiveness, low-score group (high-level organizational loose coupling) is
lower than middle-score group (middle-level organizational loose coupling) and
high-score group (low-level organizational loose coupling), and middle-score
group (middle-level organizational loose coupling) is lower than high-score
group (low-level organizational loose coupling).
6.With regard to the influence of organizational loose coupling on school
effectiveness:
It is found that the track coefficient is 0.99 and the "t" value is 15.14 from
the main track of organizational loose coupling and school effectiveness,
showing it has been over the level required. It means that the potential
change components in the upper course of organizational loose coupling is
giving a great influence on the potential change components in the lower
course of school effectiveness.
This study work is finalized at proposing suggestions in the three aspects of "
Principals of elementary schools", "Educational administrative agencies" and "
Training institutions for teachers" for the expectation of the combination in
theory and practice and the advance of the quality of our domestic research
further.
