Role of Secondary School Heads Toward Teachers' Pedagogical Competence: A Locality-based Study

Abstract

    The study investigated the role of secondary school heads (SSHs) to improve teachers' pedagogical competence (TPC), and to find out differences in the role of SSHs to improve TPC. The study was descriptive in nature and a survey method was adopted. The population was the secondary school teachers (SSTs) of public secondary schools. Multi-stage random sampling was used. 432 SSTs were selected as a sample. A 5-point Likert scale was used to collect data. The overall reliability of the four constructs of leadership roles was 0.813. The data were analyzed through mean, SD, ANOVA and Post Hoc. The results of the study were that the majority of the respondents agreed that SSHs perform their role as TL, IL, DL, and AL effectively and there were zone-wise significant differences in the perceptions of SSTs about the role of SSHs toward TPC.
