A STUDY OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONS TOWARDS PRINCIPAL’S INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP STYLE AND THEIR COMPETENCE AT THE SCHOOL OF MUNGMYIT SINLI IDPS HIGH SCHOOL, KACHIN STATE, MYANMAR

The study analyzed the teachers’ perceptions towards the principal’s instructional leadership style and teachers’ competence at the Mungmyit Sinli IDPs High School, Kachin State, Myanmar. It was to identify the relationship between the teachers’ perceptions of the principal’s instructional leadership style and their competence at the Mungmyit Sinli IDPs High School during the academic year of 2020. The population for this study was 58 full-time teachers working at Mungmyit Sinli IDPs High school. For data collection, the researcher used two research instruments. Part one: the questionnaires on the five functions of a principal’s instructional leadership (Krug, 1992) were adopted from Jerman (2001), and Part two: the five components of teachers’ competence (Medley, 1977) was adopted from Kavinda (2014). In order to test the hypothesis of this study, the collected data were statistically analyzed by the Pearson Product Moment Correlation. It was found that there was a strong and positive relationship between the teachers’ perceptions of the principal’s instructional leadership style and their competence at the Mungmyit Sinli IDPs High School. This study revealed that enhancing teachers’ knowledge, abilities, and skills development could be helped by principal frequent formative evaluation, observation, and interaction with each teacher of instruction practice processes in the classroom. Hence, it was recommended that the principal should emphasize joining an informal discussion with teachers in their teaching with teaching skills and knowledge such as pedagogies and educational theories. In addition, the teachers and principal should be in continuing professional development such as training programs, workshop programs, and other Computer technology programs to assist their competence development

Insights for improving trust management in participatory natural resources management processes : a case study on stakeholder trust perceptions in the Bridger-Teton National Forest collaborative process

Studies on stakeholder trust in natural resources management participatory processes have revealed the importance of trust for successful processes. At the same time forest managers, participatory process facilitators and researchers have found public distrust increasing in natural resources management agencies in the United States and Denmark. Analysis of stakeholder trust in this study of the collaborative process at Bridger-Teton National Forest (USA) revealed seven key trust-related issues: transparency, outside influences on the process, uncertainty of process outcomes, agency consistency, experiences with agency staff, perceived value differences, and distrust of the federal government. The study finds trust building and management with and among stakeholders should aim toward developing low calculus-based trust and low identification-based trust, while affecting routine-based distrust is largely beyond managers’ and facilitators’ capacity to influence. Cultural differences between Denmark and the United States suggest some trust issues identified in the study may be less important in the Danish context. Higher public trust in government in Denmark may, for example, render issues related to distrust of the federal government found in the case study less relevant in Denmark. The study also revealed differences between the results from the two methodological tools used in the study: the Progress Triangle and the Trust Analytical Framework. The Progress Triangle analysis provided an overview of the trust issues at BTNF and was a relatively easy tool to use. The Trust Analytical Framework results revealed a more nuanced understanding of trust issues in the case, however this tool also requires more substantial knowledge about trust theories to utilize than needed for using the Progress Triangle
