A study of expectations of teachers and perceptions of administrators in decision-making in the agricultural, agricultural-industrial, and fisheries schools in the Province of Iloilo

Abstract

In the assumption that decision-making, as a vital element in educational administration, directly affects the effectiveness of the school as an organization in the productive realization of goals, a survey concerning it was made among 181 teachers and ten administrators in the eight agricultural, agricultural-industrial, and fisheries schools in the province of Iloilo. The objective of the study was to compare two types of data: (1) the expectations of the teachers from the decisions of the administrators, and (2) the perceptions of the administrators of the administrator’s role in decision-making. Some subsidiary problems were also studies. These were the relatedness of the teachers’ expectations with their own observations; and the relatedness of the five factors of sex, teaching experience, teaching assignment, college preparation, and the kind of school, first with the expectations of the teachers and then with the opinions of the administrators, concerning decision-making.
