OKUL MÜDÜRLERİNİN OKUL YÖNETİM SÜREÇLERİYLE İLGİLİ GÖRÜŞLERİNİN İNCELENMESİ (DEMİRCİ İLÇESİ ÖRNEĞİ).

The aim of the study is to reveal the path followed by school principals during the administration processes, to determine the problems encountered and solutions related to them. The research was conducted in qualitative method. 18 school principals participated in the study. The data were collected through focus group interviews. Content analysis and descriptive analysis were used in the analysis of the data. School principals at all levels state that they make joint decisions by consulting with school stakeholders in the decision-making process in administration. School principals believe in the benefit of planning and effective communication in the administrative processes. According to the principals, influencing is a difficult job in terms of motivating individuals and reaching the goal. School principals attach importance to task distribution and teamwork. Talent, skill and willingness are considered in the distribution of tasks. They provide their evaluations by following the report with the evaluation criteria they have determined together with the stakeholders. It is thought that this study will help to understand the perceptions of school principals about administrative processes. Accordingly, more comprehensive studies should be conducted on school principals and administrative processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
