' ABSTRACT The extent of the practice of the Headmasters of the governmental schools of the decision-making process, from the point of view of the School Headmastcrs and teachers in Genin Province, Palestine. This study aimed at knowing the extent of the practice of the Headmasters of the governmental schools, ofthe process of decision-making, from the view point of both the Headmasters and teachers in Palestine; through answering two questions:- I What is the extent of the practice of the school l-leadmasters of the process of decision-making, from the view point ofthe Headmasters in Palestine? 0 What is the extent ofthe practice ofthe Headmaslers ofgovernmental schools ofthe process of decision-making, from the point of view ofteachers in Palestine? It also aims at knowing the extent of the differences of the degree of the practice of the Headmasters of the govemmental schools, for the decision-making process, in the context ofthe differences of sex, specialization, academic qualifications, years of experience, years of work in the same school. Likewise, there is knowing the extent of the differences of the estimates of the teacher for the govemment schools Headmasters decision-making process, according to the teacher's sex, specialization, academic qualifications, years of experience and his years of \vork in the same school. The research community is composed of all the Headmasters and teachers in Genine Province, Palestine, for the school year T ~ -°-\' - ~'\, whose number was H" subjects. The total number of Headmasters was \\\; at °‘\ Headmasters and °\' Headmistresses. The total number of the teachers amount to \/\- \, at Ml males and ‘i l ° females. I To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher adopted the descriptive analytic approach. Thus, two tools of the study were constructed: the first was a questionnaire which is directed to the Headmasters of schools; and the second was another questionnaire which directed to teachers in schools. Each questionnaire contained ll paragraphs. Each questionnaire was distributed to six fields, as each questionnaire contained the same paragraphs and fields. These fields, were: the diagnosis of the problem which is the topic of the decision, the analysis of the problem which is the topic ofthe decision, finding the alternatives for the solution of the problem which is the topic of the decision, the evaluation of the available

alternatives ofthe topic ofthe decision, choosing the suitable solution for the problem which is the topic of the decision and the follow-up of the implementation of the decision. . To reach the research findings, the arithmetic means, the percentage ratios, the standard deviations, the 'T' test and the one way ANOVA, were used. The study reached several findings, such as: The most practical fields by the school Headmasters, in decision making, from their point of view, is the field of the analysis of the problem which is the topic of the decision and the field ofthe follow-up ofthe implementation ofthe decision. The more field of practice of the Headmaster of government schools, for the process of taking decision, from the point of view ofthe teachers the more is the field ofthe follow-up ofthe implementation ofthe decision. There are statistically significant differences in the degree of the practice of the government schools Headmasters, for the process of decision-making, from their point of view, which are attributed to the sex variable and for the interest of male Headmasters. There are statistically significant differences in the degree of the practice of the Headmasters ofthe government school, as far as decisions-making is concemed, from their point of view, which is attributed to the variable of the specialization for the interest of the specialization, for the interest of the Headmasters of the later. There are statistically significant differences in the degree of the practice of the Headmasters of the government schools. for the process of decision-making from their point of view which are attributed to the variable of academic qualification, in favour of the Headmasters who have a bachelor degree and above. There are no significant statistical differences, at the level of the statistical significance (a = -t-°) in the degree of the practice of the government schools Headmasters' process, from the point of view of the teachers, which is attributed to the sex of the teacher. There are no statistically significant differences, at the level of statistical significance (u = --~ °) at a degree of the practice of the schoolmasters ofthe government schools to the process of decision-making. from the point of view of the teachers. which is attributed to the academic qualifications of the teacher. There are no statistically significant differences at the level of statistical significance (u = -t-°) at a level of practice of the Headmaster of the govemment schools, for the

process of decision-making, fi'om the point of view of the teachers, which is attributed to the variable ofthe academic qualifications ofthe teacher. The study reached some recommendations, as follows:- l. There is a need for the Palestinian Ministry of Education, to hold training session for Schools Headmasters for raising the level of their practical practice, in a proper scientific way in all its stages and steps. T. There is a need to prepare and qualify the School Headmasters, providing them with the information and skills which would enable them to deal with the problems and take the suitable decisions. Y. The need to care for the Headmasters who hold of the junior qualifications, as the study found out that the higher educational qualification have more power to take decisions. 1. There is a need for caring for Headmasters who have meagre capacity; as the study had found that the highly educated Headmasters are more capable to take decisions. °. Conducting more studies which is related to the topic of decision-making in the educational field.
