TEACHER PARTICIPATION IN DECISION MAKING
Abstract
- The main purpose of this study was to investigate the perception of teachers on teacher participation in decision making at selected Basic Education High Schools in Mohnyin Township. All teachers (N=417) from nine selected high schools in Mohnyin Township participated in the study. In this study, the questionnaire for the teachers was used in order to collect the data required for the study. In this questionnaire, “Teacher Participation in Decision Making Questionnaire” developed by Keung (2002) was mainly used in order to measure the teachers’ perception on their participation in decision making in relation with school managerial practices and their affective outcomes. Based on the research findings, it was found that all teachers from selected high schools actually perceived that they had high participation in “Technical Domain” and moderate participation in “Managerial Domain”. According to the teachers’ responses, all teachers in selected high schools in Mohnyin Township desired to have a greater involvement in decision making than their actual participation in decision making. In addition, the finding of this study indicated that there was a significant and positive relationship between teacher participation in decision making and school managerial practices (r=0.300, p<0.01). Moreover, it was also found that “Teacher Participation in Decision Making” was significantly and positively related to “Teachers’ Affective Outcomes” (r=0.225, p=<0.01) in selected schools.
