Abstract

This study aimed to explore principals’ perceptions and current practices in schools to build conducive learning environment. The study employed qualitative research method guided by the constructivist paradigm. The study was conducted in Trashigang District, Bhutan, with 22 principals from February 2022 to July 2022. This study was purely exploratory, and the findings were broadly categorized into six themes: perceptions of a conducive learning environment, current practices in creating a conducive learning environment, managing students’ behavior, organizing the physical ambiance, and managing academic activities. Further, this study presents issues and challenges faced by school leaders. The study’s findings showed that school principals have positive perceptions of a conducive learning environment. The school principals in the study had given some methods to tackle academic, behavioral, and social issues. The study findings will help newly recruited principals create a conducive learning environment. Further, the study’s finding recommends Ministry of Education (MoE) and relevant stakeholders provide professional development to school leaders on behavioral management and enhancement of students’ academic performance. Moreover, the study recommends MoE to see if financial autonomy can be provided to the school. However, study’s finding is from the schools of one District and cannot be generalized. Therefore, future researchers can find the attributes of a conducive learning environment with a more excellent sample to validate the findings.
学校校长对有利学习环境的看法及其当前做法:不丹Trashigang地区的探索性研究
本研究旨在探讨校长对建立良好学习环境的看法及现行做法。本研究采用建构主义范式指导下的质性研究方法。该研究于2022年2月至2022年7月在不丹Trashigang区进行,共有22名校长参与。这项研究纯粹是探索性的,研究结果大致分为六个主题:对有利学习环境的看法、创造有利学习环境的现行做法、管理学生行为、组织物理氛围和管理学术活动。此外,本研究提出了学校领导面临的问题和挑战。研究结果显示,学校校长对有利的学习环境有积极的看法。参与研究的学校校长给出了一些解决学术、行为和社会问题的方法。研究结果有助新校长创造有利的学习环境。此外,研究结果建议教育部和相关利益相关者为学校领导提供行为管理和提高学生学业成绩的专业发展。此外,该研究还建议教育部考虑是否可以为学校提供财政自主权。然而,研究结果来自一个地区的学校,不能一概而论。因此,未来的研究人员可以用更优秀的样本来寻找有利的学习环境的属性来验证研究结果。
