INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP IN TURKEY AND THE UNITED STATES: TEACHERS’ PERSPECTIVES
Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2011, Vol 34, Issue 10
Abstract
The aim of this study was to better understand the instructional leadership styles adopted in Turkey and the USA. This is a quantitative study which used the “Instructional Leadership Inventory” for data collection. Study data was collected from a diverse sample of urban elementary school teachers: 157 in Turkey and 150 in the USA. The general statistical findings indicate that teachers tend to develop a positive perception towards instructional leadership styles adopted by school principals in Turkey and the USA. An analysis of study results in terms of the similarities and differences between the instructional leadership styles adopted in both countries indicated that American teachers scored higher than their Turkish counterparts in terms of subscales as well as the total score.
