| Abstract | This research, which utilized a descriptive – correlational design, aimed to investigate the principals’ leadership styles and if these influence their perceptions of the effectiveness of the teacher evaluation methods they employ in improving teaching and learning and in fostering professional growth. The target population for the study included 10 principals and 60 teachers. The 70 respondents accomplished the Leadership Behavior Description Questionnaire (LBDQ) Form XII and the Leadership Behavior Description Questionnaire (LBDQ) Form XII – Self to gather their perceptions of the principals’ leadership styles. In addition, the 10 principal respondents accomplished a Teacher Evaluation Survey to gather their perceptions of the effectiveness of the teacher evaluation methods they employ in improving teaching and learning and in fostering professional growth and responded to interviews about their perceptions of teacher evaluation. After a careful analysis of the data gathered from the LBDQ accomplished by the principals and the teachers, it found out that half of the principals (50%) rated themselves as system – oriented, while 40% rated themselves as person – oriented, and one principal rated himself the same in both dimensions. Whereas, 60% of the teachers rated their principals as person – oriented, while 40% rated their principals as system – oriented. Consequently, when the independent t – test was employed on the principals and the teachers ratings, it showed that there is no significant difference between the self – and observational – ratings of the principals’ leadership styles with the exception of Principals 3, 4, and 9. Moreover, the study established, using one – way MANOVA, that the principals’ personal and professional characteristics have no effect on their leadership styles. Subsequently, the data gathered from the semi – structured exploratory interviews conducted with the principals revealed that they perceived teacher evaluations as a means to attain quality education and an opportunity for professional growth. In addition, the one – way ANOVA test performed on the data gathered from the TES showed that the principals rated teacher evaluation methods differently when its purpose is to improve teaching and learning. Principals preferred student evaluation over the other teacher evaluation methods and named peer evaluation as the least effective teacher evaluation method. Furthermore, an independent t – test reported that the principals’ educational attainment is a good predictor when it comes to rating the effectiveness of classroom observation as a means to improve teaching and learning as well as when it comes to rating the effectiveness of student evaluation as a means to foster professional growth. Lastly, the study revealed, through the use of Spearman Rho, that the system – oriented and person – oriented leadership styles have an effect on the principals’ perceptions of the effectiveness of self – evaluation when its purpose is to improve teaching and learning. Whereas, both leadership styles have an effect on the principals’ perceptions of the self – evaluation’s effectiveness and only the system – oriented leadership style has an effect on the peer evaluation’s effectiveness when its purpose is to foster professional growth. In conclusion, the study attested that the leadership styles principal espouse influence their perceptions of the effectiveness of some of the evaluation methods they employ. Recommendations include letting principals have access to seminars, trainings, workshop that will tap their full potential and aid them in guiding their teachers in the necessary direction to be effective and efficient. |
