An Assessment On The Management Functions Of The Secondary School Principals At Mbhte-Sulu

Abstract

This descriptive-correlational study assessed the extent of management functions of Secondary Principals, MBHTE-Sulu as observed by Secondary school teachers during the School Year 2020-2021. Specifically, it deals with teacher-respondents’ demographic profiles in terms gender, age, civil and educational attainment; extent of management functions in terms of planning practices, organizing practices, directing practices and controlling practices. The frequency counts and percentage were used to determine the teacher-respondents’ demographic profile, mean and standard deviation were used to determine the extent of management functions; Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (Pearson r), t-Test for independent samples and One-Way ANOVA were used to determine the significant correlation and the differences in the extent of management functions in terms of planning practices, organizing practices, directing practices and controlling practices. Out of 100 teacher-respondents, almost one-half are at 41-50 years old, great majority are female and married, and have bachelor’s degree. Generally, the extent of management functions in terms of Planning practices, Organizing practices, Directing practices, and Controlling practices are rated as “Moderate Extent”. All variables such age, gender, civil status and educational significantly intervene in ways how secondary school teachers of MBHTE-Sulu perceive towards the extent management functions in terms of Planning practices, Organizing practices, Directing practices, and Controlling practices. Sub-categories subsumed under management functions in terms of Planning practices, Organizing practices, Directing practices, and Controlling practices are very highly correlated. This study tends to support the theories of Gordon, R.A. and Schinneder G.T., 2019 theory which states that school administrators such as principal, head teacher and teacher-in-charge are designated in public elementary schools to manage and supervise school operation to achieve the objectives and goals of the school.
