Abstract

The paper investigated the primary school deputy headteachers’ experiences of their functions in the implementation of the National Curriculum. The researcher used a qualitative research approach. A case study research design was employed. The instruments used to collect data were semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation and document analysis. The population consisted of only deputy headteachers. Ten participants were purposively sampled from ten (10) schools. All participants were selected on the basis of being deputy headteachers. By guaranteeing anonymity, voluntary involvement, informed consent, and confidentiality, ethical principles were upheld. The acquired data were analysed using a thematic approach. The study found that the assumed roles of Deputy Headteachers were far less demanding than when they were junior teachers. The research also revealed that Deputy Headteachers had comprehensive and divert functions, which included supporting and empowering stakeholders, working with different groups at different levels and supervising daily functions within the school.
副校长履行国家课程实施职能的经验:埃斯瓦提尼案例研究
本文调查了小学副校长在国家课程实施过程中的职能体验。研究者采用了定性研究方法。采用了个案研究的研究设计。收集数据的工具是半结构式访谈、非参与观察和文件分析。研究对象仅包括副校长。从十(10)所学校中有目的地抽取了十名参与者。所有参与者均为副校长。在保证匿名、自愿参与、知情同意和保密的前提下,遵守了伦理原则。研究采用专题方法对所获得的数据进行了分析。研究发现,与担任初级教师时相比,副校长的角色要求要低得多。研究还发现,副校长的职能全面而多样,包括支持利益相关者并赋予其权力,与不同层面的群体合作,以及监督学校的日常职能。
