EXAMINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INTERNATIONAL INDICES AND INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP STYLES OF COLLEGE PRINCIPALS IN THE RURAL CONTEXT OF SINDH

Abstract

This study aims to explore the relationship between international indices and instructional leadership styles of college principals in the rural context of Sindh. International indices provide a framework to assess educational systems and identify areas for improvement. Instructional leadership, on the other hand, plays a critical role in enhancing teaching and learning outcomes. However, there is a limited understanding of how international indices influence the instructional leadership styles of college principals, particularly in rural settings. This research fills this gap by examining the relationship between international indices and instructional leadership styles, with a specific focus on college principals in rural areas of Sindh. The study utilizes a mixed-methods approach, involving surveys and interviews with college principals to collect data on their instructional leadership styles and perceptions of international indices. The findings will provide valuable insights into the impact of international indices on instructional leadership practices in rural colleges and inform strategies to improve educational outcomes in this context.
