Teacher Perceptions of Instructional Leadership Behavior, Self-Efficacy and Perception of Learning Organization
Abstract
The environment in educational institutions is influenced by numerous factors, some of which pertain to the interactions of educators in the organization. Since the teacher effect, as an inschool factor, has been shown to have an important influence on student achievement; teachers’ self-efficacy, instructional leadership, and their perception of the learning organization, which affect their performance and their perception of the school environment, need to be dealt with carefully. Various scales have been developed to measure these attitudes. This research analyzes the attitudes of primary and secondary school teachers on Instructional Leadership Behavior, Self-Efficacy, and Perception of Learning Organization in order to confirm the factorial structure of these measures and to shed light on the differences led by them. Results show that female teachers had higher attitudes towards dimensions of Instructional Leadership Behavior Scale and Learning Organization but no difference was found between male and female teachers regarding their experience. Secondary school teachers had lower Self-Efficacy attitudes in comparison to primary school teachers.
