Hubungan Antara Kepimpinan, Komitmen Guru, Kompetensi Guru, Amalan-amalan Terbaik Dan keberkesanan Sekolah

Abstract

This research examines the relationships between leadership, teachers' commitment, teachers' competency and school effectiveness. This research also describes best practices such as information and data analysis and management practices as a moderator in enhancing the relationships between leadership, teachers' commitment, teachers' competency and school effectiveness. This study employed a sample of 84 secondary schools which constitutes 74 secondary schools from Kedah State and 10 secondary schools from Perlis State. School samples have been stratified randomly according to the cumulative grades of a public examination (Malaysian Certificate of Education). Pearson correlation, multiple regression and hierarchical moderated regression analysis have been performed to test the suggested hypotheses. The findings of the study reveal that multiple regression analysis tended to support the research hypotheses suggesting a positive association between teachers' commitment, teachers' competency and school effectiveness. Teachers' commitment appeared to be the highest contribution among the predictors to the school effectiveness. However only leadership made a significant contribution to the school effectiveness when using information and data analysis as a moderator. Apparently the research prepares a theoretical framework that reflects the determinants factors of school effectiveness.
