Abstract

This study aimed to examine the extent of instructional leadership exhibited by principals and to gauge the work commitment levels of teachers in four rural secondary schools within the Sandakan district. Additionally, the study explored the relationship between principals' instructional leadership and teachers' commitment to their work. Quantitative descriptive research was conducted, collecting data via a 21-item questionnaire administered to teachers. The data were analyzed using SPSS Version 29 software, employing descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The results indicated that principals demonstrated high levels of instructional leadership, and teachers exhibited high levels of work commitment. However, the correlation between the instructional leadership of principals and the work commitment of teachers was found to be weak. The findings suggest opportunities to strengthen the connection between principals' leadership approaches and teachers' commitment to their roles. By focusing on introspection, professional development, effective communication, and recognition, principals can enhance academic outcomes in their schools by cultivating a culture of dedication and high-quality work among teachers.
马来西亚山打根县农村地区校长的教学领导实践
本研究旨在考察山打根县四所农村中学的校长在教学方面的领导力,并衡量教师的工作投入程度。此外,研究还探讨了校长的教学领导力与教师的工作投入之间的关系。研究采用定量描述性研究方法,通过向教师发放 21 个项目的调查问卷收集数据。使用 SPSS 29 版软件对数据进行了分析,采用了描述性统计和推断性统计。结果表明,校长表现出高水平的教学领导力,教师表现出高水平的工作投入。然而,校长的教学领导力与教师的工作投入之间的相关性较弱。研究结果表明,校长的领导方法与教师的工作投入之间的联系还有待加强。通过注重自省、专业发展、有效沟通和认可,校长可以培养教师敬业和高质量工作的文化,从而提高学校的学术成果。
