Educational Leadership The purpose of this research was to determine if there was a significant agreement between principals and students regarding the teaching competencies of sixth grade teachers nominated and identified by principals of elementary, middle, and junior high schools, and students who are associated with the identified teacher. The study included the entire State of Ohio from which a total sample population of 180 public school principals and 4494 sixth grade level students were surveyed. The 180 schools were separated into three categories for comparison reasons; small, medium, and large depending upon the actual size of the school. Each group was composed of schools associated with city, exempted, and local school systems as listed in the official 1973-74 Ohio State Department of Education Directory. An instrument developed by R. C. Bryan, of Western Michigan University, was utilized to gather the data concerning the perceptions of students and principals regarding selected teachers. The statistical Pearson r correlation technique and the t-test technique were used to determine the level of differences or agreement that existed within the data. The study addressed the following issues regarding teaching competencies. Four major hypotheses and eleven subhypotheses were tested concerning the perceptions of the respondents. The major hypotheses were: 1) there is no significant difference between the principals' and students' perceptions of selected sixth grade teachers; 2) there is no significant difference between perceptions of principals and students exhibited within small and medium size schools; 3) there is no significant difference between the perceptions of principals and students exhibited within small and large size schools; 4) there is no significant difference between the perceptions of principals and students exhibited within medium and large size schools. The eleven subhypotheses were concerned with the abilities of teachers regarding eleven individual competencies as perceived by principals and students.The study was designed to gain greater insight into the understanding of students' perceptions of their teachers as students perceived them and principals identified them. The study tried also to provide and suggest areas for continued research concerning the impact of student feedback information. 1975 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1566297702067741 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1566297702067741 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
