Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, eğitim örgütleri olan okullarda katılımcı karar verme sürecine yönelik okul yöneticilerinin algılarını incelemektir. Araştırmanın yöntemi, nitel araştırma desenlerinden olan temel nitel araştırma desenidir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu, ölçüt örnekleme ve maksimum çeşitlilik örneklemesi yöntemleri ile belirlenmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu resmi okul öncesi, ilkokul, ortaokul ve liselerde görev yapan 30 okul yöneticisi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır ve veriler içerik analizi yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre karar verme sürecinde yöneticilerin tutumu, değişen durumlara göre farklılaşmaktadır. Öğretmenler bazı durumlarda karar verme sürecine dahil edilirken bazı durumlarda bu sürecin dışında bırakılmaktadır. Kararlar tek bir ortamda alınmamakta, kararların alındığı ortamlar çeşitlilik göstermektedir. Öğretmenlerin karar verme sürecine dahil edilmesine neden olan birçok faktör vardır. Bunlardan en çok ifade edileni, farklı fikirlerin değerlendirilmesi gerektiğidir. Öğretmenlerin karar verme sürecine yönelik istekli ve isteksiz olduğu durumlar çeşitlilik göstermektedir. Yönetici görüşlerine göre öğretmenlere fazladan iş yükü doğuracak durumlarda karar verme sürecine katılımda isteksizlik göstermekte ancak bireye menfaat sağlayan durumlarda istekli olmaktadırlar. Karar verme sürecinde yöneticiler tarafından yapılan birçok hata bulunmaktadır. Bunlardan en çok ifade edileni yöneticilerin tek başına karar verme eğilimidir. Okul yöneticilerinden karar verme sürecinde beklenen bazı roller bulunmaktadır. Buna yönelik katılımcılar tarafından en fazla ifade edilen kod, yöneticilerin katılımcı karar alma sürecini desteklemeleri gerektiğidir.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate school administrators' perceptions on the participatory decision-making process at schools as educational institutions. The method adopted in the research is basic qualitative research design, which is one of the qualitative research designs. Criterion sampling methods and maximum variation sampling methods have been used in the determination of the study group. The study group consists of 30 school administrators from various public preschool institutions, primary schools, elementary schools, and high schools. The study employed semi-structured interview forms in data collection, and the data were analyzed by content analysis method. According to the results of the research, the attitude of managers in the decision-making process differs according to changing conditions. In some cases, teachers are included in the decision-making process, while in others, they are excluded. Decisions are not made in a particular setting. Instead, there is a variety of settings used for this purpose. There are many factors that cause teachers to be included in the decision-making process. The most expressed one of these is that different ideas should be evaluated. Situations where teachers are willing and unwilling to the decision-making process are diverse. According to school administrator's, teachers are reluctant to participate in decisions that will bring extra workload to them. On the contrary, they participate in the process willingly when personal interests are at stake. There are many mistakes made by administrators in the decision-making process. The most common one of these is the tendency of administrators to make decisions alone. There are some expected roles in the process of deciding from school administrators. The most stated code by participants is that managers should support the participatory decision-making process.
