The Role of Educational Leaders in Shaping Pedagogical Practices and Learning Experiences
Kirsten Rosario, Lolita Bustos
Abstract
This study explores the perceptual differences between teachers and administrators regarding the effectiveness of instructional and administrative leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilizing descriptive research methods, the study assesses perceptions through survey data collected from school heads and teachers, focusing on how leadership styles are viewed in terms of supporting teaching and learning. The analysis, based on Z-statistics, highlights significant discrepancies in perceptions between the two groups, with administrators generally rating the effectiveness of leadership practices higher than teachers. These findings suggest a communication gap and a potential misalignment between leadership actions and classroom realities. The study underscores the importance of inclusive decision-making and enhanced communication strategies within schools to bridge these perceptual gaps. By aligning leadership practices more closely with the insights and experiences of teachers, schools can foster a more collaborative and effective educational environment, crucial for navigating the challenges posed by the pandemic and beyond
