School Climate and Teachers Performance in an Elementary School in a Resettlement Area

This study investigated the relationship between school climate and teachers’ performance in Palanog Resettlement Elementary School. Using the descriptive- correlational research design the study included all teachers of the school. The school climate was measured through the Organizational Climate Descriptive Questionnaire and the teachers’ performance through the Performance Appraisal System for Teachers. The data were analyzed using frequency count, percentages, means, Pearson-r product moment correlation and t-test correlation coefficient. The findings revealed that the supportive principal behavior and collegial teacher behavior dimension of school climate has significant relationship on teachers performance. Based on the findings, it was suggested that school head should continue the supportive climate on teachers but not to disregard the directive behavior as to ensure the implementation of the school policies.

Strategi Kepala Sekolah dalam Membangun Mutu Pendidikan di MTsN Model Pare, Kediri

The demand of quality education the more days pass more gain strength. This phenomenon appear along with the condition of peoples needs growing rapidly. That indispensable priscipal professional, were able to establish that the quality of education quality and considered superior public interest. The focus of this study are three things, that is: a) principal behavior in the build quality of education. b) strategy principals in building the quality of education. to answer the focus of the study, the researchers used a qualitative approach, nid of case studies. Methods of data collection use include: a) deep interview. b) oservation. c) study documentation. Data from the three techniques are organized, interpreted, and analyzed repeatedly. To avoid mistakes, then held data validity checking using the method of: a) triangulation between data sources, comparing data from interviews. b) checking the accuracy of information to the informant. c) discuss and consult data by the competent authorities. The results of this study found: 1) behavior of the principals in building a quality of education that is: a) motivate. b) establish good communation and warm. c) in volve all members of the school, and example to the school community in an effort to build the quality of education. 2) strategy principal in building the quality of education that is: a) build a strong team work and soulid. b) build a family. c) to support and facilitate teachers in the development of quality and competene. d) the division of duties and performance to match the capabilities of each subordinate. e) working closely with other agencies. f) to collaoration with the mass media. g) having a clear quality targets.

Principals’ preferences when hiring teachers: a conjoint experiment

Purpose What do principals look for when hiring teachers? The purpose of this paper is to extend the knowledge concerning what aspects of teacher quality are in demand among the individuals who administer schools and make hiring decisions. Design/methodology/approach Rather than employing interviews or surveys, the authors utilized a conjoint instrument that assembled teacher characteristics into fictitious applicant profiles. Participating North Carolina public school principals (n = 467) then chose among the computer-generated options and regression analysis allowed the authors to identify preferences in the aggregate. Findings Principals in this study preferred applicants with classroom experience, but those with 15 years were no more preferred than those with 5. They also preferred applicants with more education, but an advanced degree was no more preferred than a bachelor’s from a highly selective institution. Preference for teachers who are committed to state standards varied with schools’ performance on state tests. Originality/value Conjoint analysis is a useful tool for measuring preferences but is underutilized in research on education administration. This paper contributes not only to the body of knowledge about school principal behavior but also to the field’s familiarity of research techniques.

Why Principals Sidestep Instructional Leadership

Principal educators‘ and policy makers’ predominant expectation from school principals to serve as instructional leaders—who engage primarily in a wide range of activities that clearly focus on improving teaching and learning for all students—has scarcely been applied in practice by principals in today's schools. Researchers have found several reasons for this gap between professional recommendations and actual principal behavior. The current qualitative study, based on semi-structured interviews with 41 Israeli principals, suggests one more explanation for today's reality of principals‘ limited engagement in instructional leadership: Some principals uphold a non-academic definition of schools’ major goal—focusing on students‘ well-being, social skills, values, etc.—and thereby claim that improvements in teaching and learning should not be at the top of the school administrators’ priorities. This goal as a possible mechanism underlying principals' noncompliance has not been investigated to date.

GEOMETRICAL NONLINEARITY ANALYSIS OF THE STEEL NETWORK ARCH BRIDGES / PLIENINŲ TINKLINIŲ ARKINIŲ TILTŲ GEOMETRINIO NETIESIŠKUMO VERTINIMAS

Arch bridges are one of the popular, oldest and graceful bridges which are being built in zones of the city and out of the city. However arches becomes especially sensitive to their buckling response due to dominated compressive force in the arch. In order to ensure stability conditions of the individual arch and arch bridges, it is estimated not just geometrical factor of arch, residual stress, work conditions, geometric imperfections but geometrical nonlinearity too. Geometric nonlinearity especially dominates in many times static indeterminable systems such as network arch bridges. However there are a few represents of estimation of geometric nonlinearity of the new construction form of the arch bridges created in a middle of 20th century. This paper represents estimation of geometric nonlinearity with numerical method of the steel arch bridges with vertical hangers and network arch bridges. There are determined stress-strain law and principal behavior of the steel network arch bridges under symmetric and asymmetric pedestrian loadings. Arkiniai tiltai – vieni populiariausių, seniausių ir grakščiausių tiltų, statomų miesto ir užmiesčio zonose. Tačiau dėl dominuojančios ašinės gniuždymo jėgos arkos tampa ypač jautrios stabilumo praradimui. Siekiant užtikrinti pavienių arkų ir arkinių tiltų pastovumo sąlygas, vertinami ne tik arkos geometriniai rodikliai, darbo stadijos, pradiniai įtempiai, geometriniai netobulumai, bet ir netiesinė konstrukcijos elgsena. Geometrinis netiesiškumas ypač dominuoja daug kartų statiškai neišsprendžiamose sistemose, tokiose kaip tinkliniai arkiniai tiltai. Tačiau šios XX a. viduryje atsiradusios naujos arkinių tiltų konstrukcinės formos geometrinio netiesiškumo vertinimas pateiktas minimaliai. Straipsnyje pateikiamas plieninių arkinių tiltų su vertikaliomis pakabomis ir tinklinių arkinių tiltų geometrinio netiesiškumo vertinimas skaitiniais metodais. Nustatomas plieninių tinklinių arkinių tiltų įtempių-deformacijų būvis ir esminiai elgsenos ypatumai, veikiant simetrine ir asimetrine pėsčiųjų apkrovomis.
