The Relationship between Head Teachers Moral Reasoning and Their Performance

Abstract

    The study was designed to determine the relationship between the moral reasoning of headteachers of government secondary schools and their performance. The objectives of this study were (I) to explore the relationship between secondary schools' head teachers' moral reasoning and their performance and (II) to determine the correspondence between head teachers' moral reasoning and gender. Data collected from 160 head teachers of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab were analyzed. For collecting data, Form "A" of Moral Judgment Interview was used as an instrument. Global stages of headteachers and their Weighted Average Scores (WAS) were determined by using Standard Issue Scoring Manual. A significant relationship was not found between moral reasoning and the performance of secondary school head teachers. Significant correspondence was not determined between the headteachers' moral reasoning and gender.
