A Study of the Perceptions of Administrators and Parents of Reorganization Efforts in an Urban School System and Their Relationships to Conflict in Goal Orientation and Achievement.
Leadum, Clyde F.
This study was designed to determine differences in the goal orientation of school administrators and parents regarding school reorganization and differences in administrators' and parents' perceptions of the progress being made on reorganizational goals. A research instrument was developed and pilot-tested on a group of parents and then administered to a randomly selected sample of 200 parents and 50 administrators from the Baltimore school system. The returns were analyzed utilizing analysis of variance and Pearson product moment coefficients. Findings of the study showed that parents perceived the area of goal orientation related to improvement in school management as much more important than did administrators. Also, parents felt that the level of goal achievement was higher than did administrators. The author concludes that the differing perceptions of parents and administrators regarding school system reorganization are not likely sources of conflict in the Baltimore school system. (Author/JG)
