Abstract
- The purposes of the study are to study the administrative practices of high school principal in No. (3) Basic Education High School, Shwepyithar in accordance with the perception of the teachers. It is based on six areas; Educational Leadership, Plotting Directions for the School, Improving Teaching, Learning and Curriculum, Improving the School as an Organizational Unit, Providing a Climate for Personal and Professional Growth and Providing the Best in Human and Material Resources. The quantitative perspective was applied in this study. The required data were collected from the 15 junior and 20 senior teachers in No. (3) Basic Education High School, Shwepyithar. Questionnaire survey method was used in this study so as to collect the required data. The teacher's perception on administrative practices of principal was measured with 53-item questionnaire. These 53 items were developed as five point Likert-type items: (1= never, 2 = seldom, 3 = sometimes, 4 = often and 5 = always) for degree of administrative practices. Administrative practices of school principal perceived by junior and senior teachers were analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The teachers from selected school rated the function of ''educational leadership'' as the highest mean value (X = 4.25) in six administrative functions and the function of ''Improving Teaching, Learning and Curriculum" is seen as the lowest mean (X = 3.78). It means that the highest performance of the function is educational leadership and the lowest performance is the function of improving teaching, learning and curriculum''. There is little difference between the means, so the school administrator nearly equal performs in the administrative functions. Research study suggests the principal should try to improve these functions.
