The Changing Role of Educational Administrators

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the changing role behaviours of administrators in general high schools. These changes are categorized under nine topics. School administrators' changing role behaviours and teachers perceptions in terms of their type of job, seniority, sex and level of education were analyzed to see if there were significant relationships between these teachers’ characteristics and perception. The data collection instrument was administered to 232 teachers and 51 administrators. The results of the study revealed a significant difference between teachers' type of job and their perceptions about school administrators changing role behaviours. However, sex, seniority and level of education did not show any significant difference.
