Abstract:
In the study, it has been aimed to detect the opinions of teachers and administrators upon the accomplishment level of teacher performance management applications in state and private high schools. Within this essential direction, answers to questions below are searched:
1) What are the ideas of teachers and school administrators on the fulfillment level of teacher performance management applications in state and private high schools?
2) Do the opinions of teachers and school administrators on the fulfillment level of teacher performance management applications in state and private high schools differ in
a. school type
b. task
c. task in each school type
d. seniority in each task group
in dimensions of detecting performance targets and criteria, performance viewing, performance developing, performance evaluating, using performance evaluation results, performance management structure and records?
The research is a scan model of causal comparison type. The population of this study comprises of teachers and school administrators working at state and private high schools in Ankara. In sample selection, two criteria (analysis unit) have been taken as the basis, school type (state high school, private high school) and districts where schools are located. While the sample is selected, representation of sub-populations has been guaranteed by way of stratified sampling method. Five- point likert scale was used in the study developed by the researcher Bozkurt Bostanc? (2004) to detect the fulfillment level of teacher performance management applications in state and private high schools. Reliability and validity analyses of the scale were performed in state and private primary schools.
SPSS package program was used in statistical analysis of data. In detection of teachers’ and school administrators’ perception levels regarding the applications of teacher performance management, arithmetic mean was used in the study. In order to calculate the average points in sub-scales and to compare teachers and administrators in accordance with task and title in each task group according to factor points, firstly, points from each sub-scale were summed up and perception levels of teachers and administrators regarding the fulfillment level of teacher performance management applications in state and private high schools were obtained. Two- factor ANOVA was applied to detect whether teachers’ and administrators’ perception levels regarding the fulfillment level of teacher performance management applications in state and private high schools differ according to the type of school, t-test was used to determine whether it differs according to task and the task in each school type, one-side analysis of variance was applied to specify whether it shows any difference in view of title of each task group in school type and LSD multiple comparison test was used when the difference occurred meaningful. Results obtained as a consequence of the analysis were tabulated and henceforth, conclusions were commented and derived. Developer proposals were specified based upon these conclusions.
