For the measurement of the total quality management’s dimensions, SERVQUAL model was used. For the identification of the leadership styles followed, the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire was used. The research sample consists of 217 teachers of Thessaloniki region in Greece, who are working to schools that operate in both public and private education. The questionnaire was online distributed and the convenience sampling, in combination with the avalanche method, were followed. The main results of the present research concern the positive correlation between all dimensions of total quality management with the transformational and transactional leadership style and their negative correlation with the laissez-faire leadership style. In addition, they relate to the identified statistically significant difference between the schools that operate on public and private sector, in the tangibles’ dimension, in which the public sector lags behind the private sector. Finally, in both the private and public sector schools in Greece, the most prevalent leadership styles are transformational and transactional, and the least prevalent is the laissez-faire leadership style, where no statistically significant differences were identified between the two sectors in terms of the leadership style that is followed.","PeriodicalId":37144,"journal":{"name":"Christian Education Journal","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78417374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the training objectives of colleges and universities, closely combined with the situation at home and abroad and the ideological reality of college students, the ideological and political education courses of the Party's line, principles and policies are relatively systematic for college students. By using empirical research methods, this study finds that the current situation and policy courses in colleges and universities are faced with difficulties in the selection of teaching content, lack of innovation in classroom teaching mode, low degree of integration between theory and practice, uncertain evaluation standards of teaching quality, the construction of teaching staff needs to be strengthened, and students' unsatisfactory performance in class. According to the current situation and policy teaching difficulties, we need to take corresponding countermeasures and suggestions, including enriching teaching content, innovating teaching mode, combining theory with practice, optimizing assessment methods, and strengthening the professional construction of teachers. So as to effectively improve the teaching effect of the course Situation and Policy.","PeriodicalId":37144,"journal":{"name":"Christian Education Journal","volume":"77 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79732179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the one hand, these contents are often of real interest to students, who have a strong desire to learn. However, these courses are either not included in the curriculum system or are part of the curriculum system, the teaching objectives are not necessarily consistent with students' learning motivation. Therefore, it is an important supplement to the curriculum system. On the other hand, this way is an important way for Hua people students to deeply contact with Chinese society and truly understand China. The perception they get from these ways can achieve such an effect that any other education can hardly have. China's interest education needs to mobilize the most extensive non-governmental education resources, adopting the market operation mode with interest education enterprises as the main body. This model is just what Hua people students need when choosing their own courses according to their interests. Therefore, this part of Hua people students ' education needs to be completely combined with this part of Chinese interest education and share its resources. To this end, we need to properly address the two core issues of teachers and funding. To realize the seamless connection between normal universities and interest education enterprises is the fundamental way to solve the problem of insufficient teachers for Hua people students' interest education. According to our national conditions, the funding problem can be solved through the three approaches of national assistance, self-commitment and reducing the burden of education enterprises.","PeriodicalId":37144,"journal":{"name":"Christian Education Journal","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88219486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
