Attitudes to self-evaluation of heads of elementary and upper secondary schools in the Czech Republic
2010
Abstract
The project of MŠMT „Pathway to Quality“ has performed a questionnaire inquiry among headmasters of basic and secondary schools. The respective questionnaire included attitude questions aimed at self-evaluation processes at schools.
Following a factor analysis 5 attitude self-evaluation factors have been identified: meaningfulness, uselessness, helplessness, fear, perception of the approach of external bodies of ČŠI and the school authority. It has identified the link between these factors and the school practice with the self-evaluation measured by the number of the implemented cycles.
The strongest link to the increased experience relates to the perception of meaningfulness and to the decrease of helplessness.
