تصورات مديري مدارس مناطق البادية الاردنية لقابلية تطبيق مبادئ الإدارة الذاتية في مدارسهم

Abstract EN

This study aimed at identifying the perspectives of the principals of the Jordan Badia areas schools of the applicability of the self-management principles in their schools.

In order to achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher, relying on the theoretical literatures and previous studies in the area of self- management prepared and developed the study tool which is a questionnaire comprising (42) items.

The items were distributed over two domains: human resources management and financial resources management.

The validity and reliability of the tool was ensured, and then distributed over a sample of (179) male and female principals of the North, Middle and South Jordan Badia areas schools, which were chosen by a stratified random manner in compliance with the study variables.

The study indicated that the visions of the principals of the Jordan Badia areas schools about the applicability of self-management principles in their schools, were (3.12) with a medium degree.

It further indicated that there were no statistically significant differences of gender and years of experience effects on the applicability degree.

The study recommended that the Ministry of Education should continue supporting orientation towards actual decentralization in the educational management.

This could be achieved through granting the school principals more powers and enabling them to participate in the decision making, so as to perform their managerial and technical duties with high harmony and effectiveness.

The study further recommended working towards designing comprehensive applied training programs to prepare school principals in self- management methodology in the Jordan Badia areas.
