AMALAN KEPIMPINAN ORGANISASI PEMBELAJARAN DI SEKOLAH BERPRESTASI TINGGI MALAYSIA

Abstract

Head Teacher role is to oversee and guide the school community to embrace learning. Thus, one of the important leadership practice in schools is to promote lifelong learning in school community as well as in the leaders themselves. This study aims to determine the level of practices of learning organization leadership among principals in High Performing Schools (SBT). Data collected by a survey involving 321 teachers of 14 High Performance Schools. Fourteen SBT involved were seven secondary school (SMK) and seven full-boarding schools (SBP). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine the level of learning organization leadership practices. Meanwhile, Mann Whitney U-test used to analyze the differences in practices between SMK and SBP. The results showed that SBT principals practiced learning organization leadership at high level (mean score 3.80 to 5.00). Yet there were differences in the level of practices of learning organization leadership between SMK and SBP principals. The study suggested that learning organization leadership should be practiced by all principals to promote lifelong learning in school community.
