ABSTRACTThis study gathered data on high school student body

presidents' perceptions of the principal's role and sought todetermine if these perceptions were significantly affected bydifferences in geographic location, school size, sex, race, academicsuccess, and parents' occupations among the responding students. Datawere gathered through a Likert-type questionnaire that was mailed to25C student body presidents representing all parts of the UnitedStates. The students were asked to indicate the importance theyattached to 124 administrative functions. The least squares analysisof variance and Fisher's Least Significant Difference test were usedto analyze the collected data. No significant differences inresponses were found to be related to differences in race, geographiclocation, or size of school attended by respondents. However, femalerespondents had a higher response mean for all Categories ofadministrative functions than did males, and students with the lowestgrade averages perceived all administrative functions to be morei_sgnificant than did more successful students. Differences inparents' occupations significantly affected students' perceptions ofthe relative importance of different administrative functions.(JG)

THE FUNCTIONS OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPLEAS PERCEIVED BY STUDENT BODY PRESIDENTS

by

Alfred P. Wilson and James Rezac

A considerable amount of research concerning the

Principal's role has been conducted in the last two decades.

Most of this research has addressed itself to the percep-

-tions of principals themselves and other professional

educators. The present nation-wide study was an.attempt to

assess high school student body President's perceptions

(If the principal's role, in an attempt to contribute to

this somewhat neglected area of rese'arch.

PurPoses and Objectives

The specific objectives of the research were:

1. To determine if geographic location affects

high school student body presidents' perceptions of the

high school principal's role in curriculum and instruc-

tional leadership, personnel guidance, school-community

t'elations, administrative responsibility, evaluation

t'esponsibility, and professional improvement.

2. To determine if school size affects high school

tudent body presidents' perceptions of the high school

Principal's role in curriculum and instructional leadership,

personnel guidance, school-community relations, adminis-

trative responsibility, evaluation responsibility, and

professional improvement.

3. To determine if the sex of high school student

body presidents affects their percepti,ons of the high

t

school pirncipal's role in curriculum and instructional

leadership, personnel guidance, school-community relations,

administrative responsibility, evaluation responsibility,

and professional improvement.

4. To determine if the race of high school student

body presidents affects their perceptions of the high

school principal's 1le in curriculiim and instructional

leadership, personnel guidance, school-community relations,

administrative responsibility, evaluation responsibility,

and professional improvement.

5. To determine if the academic success of high

school stucnnt body presidents affects their perceptions

of the high school principal's role in curriculum and

instructional leadership, personnel guidance, school-

community relations, administrative responsibility,

evaluation responsibility, and professional improvement.

6. To determine if the occupation of their parents

affects the student body presidents' perceptions of the

high school principal's role in curriculum and instructional

leadership, personnel guidance, school-community relations,

administrative responsibility, evaluation responsibility,

and professional improvelnent.

A Likert-type questionnaire was mailed to 250

randomly selected student body presidents, representing

all parts of the United States. The students were able

to indicate the importance they attached to 124 adminis-

trative functions. The least squares analysis of variance

and the fishers Least Significant Difference (LSD) test

were the statistical procedures used to analyze the

collected data.

To accomplish the objectives of the study, the

investigator tested the following specific hypotheses:

1. No significant difference existed in students'

perception of the principal's role iiccording to geographic

location within the United States.

2. No significant difference existed in the percep-

tion of the principal's role between students from small

high schools, medium-silzed high schools, or large high

schools.

3. No significant difference existed in the way

young men and young women perceive the principal.

4. No significant difference existed in student

perception of the principal between the various ethnic

groups: Black, Caucasian, Oriental, Spanish-American

and others.

5. No significant difference existed in student

perception of the principal between students of varying

academic success.

6. No significant difference existed in student

perception of the principal's role according to occu-

pational category of their parents.

Profile of a Student Body President

Because the sample was stratified by state when

selection was made, we can construct a profile of an

American high school student body president from the

163 useable returns. Our confidence in generalizing is

further enhanced by the fact that our returns represent

small, medium-sized, and large high' schools in approx-

imately equal proportions.

Most high school student body presidents are seniors

Eighty-six percent of the respondents indicated they were

in grade twelve.

It is apparent, not surprisingly, that our typical

student body president is a successful student with a

high academic.average. No respondent indicated a grade

point average of less than 2.5 (4.0 = A). Only ten

percent had less than a "B" average, and 50 percent had

averages of 3.5 to 4.0. This would seem to indicate that

high school students have a strong inclination to elect

as their leaders students who are considerably above

average as far as classroom success is concerned.

Page 38: DOCUMENT RESUME - ERIC · DOCUMENT RESUME ED 128 911 EA 008 682 AUTHOR Wilson, Alfred P., Comp.; And Others TITLE The Principalship. A Selected Bibliography. No. 17601. PUB DATE 76

A breakdown of respondents by sex indicates that

sixty-eight percent of the schools sampled see the role

of student body president being filled by a male.

The vast majority of the respondents (86.5 percent)

indicated their race as Caucasian. The next largest

group was Black (8 percent), followed by Spanish-American

(3.7 percent), Oriental (1.2 percent), and one respond-

ent indicated he belonged to some other ethnic group.

The occupation of parents proved to be a relevant

variable.. Forty-one percent of the student leaders

indicated a parent occupation that was in the professional

managerial category, 42 percent were categorized as blue

collar, nine percent were in the category of service

occupations, and seven percent were from farm homes.

Less than 25 percent of American workers are from ftomes

in which the primary wage earner is in a professional-

managerial occupation (The World Almanac, 1976). We

might conclude, therefore, that there is a strong tend-

ency for students from upper-middle class and upper

class homes to -un for and be elected to this leadership

position in a frequency that is disproportionately

large when compared to their actual number.

Hypothes.is Number 1

The hypothesis that no significant differences

existed according to geographic location and the six

major categories of the high school principal's functions

as perceived by student body presidents was tested by

computing an analysis of variance for the six categories

of functions and six geographic areas. An F ratio of

2.29 was necessary to be significant at the .05 level.

None of the six F rations was this large, so this

hypothesis was not rejected.

Hypothesis Number 2

The hypothesis is that no significant differences

existed according to school size and the six major cate-

gories of the high school principal's functions as per-

ceived by student body presidents was tested by computing

an analysis of variance for the six categories of functions

and the three groups of school size (Small: under 500;

Medium: 500-1500; Large: Over 1500). An F ratio of 3.07

or larger was necessary to reject the hypotheses. None

of the six F'ratios approached the region of rejection,

so the hypothesis was not rejected.

Page 40: DOCUMENT RESUME - ERIC · DOCUMENT RESUME ED 128 911 EA 008 682 AUTHOR Wilson, Alfred P., Comp.; And Others TITLE The Principalship. A Selected Bibliography. No. 17601. PUB DATE 76

It seems likely that the actual role of a principal

varies considerably from small high schools with limited pr

programs and facilities to large high schools with their

diverse programs and several assistant principals. It

is interesting to note that in the face of this varied

exposure to the principal's role, the students were not

significantly inconsistent in their impressions of the

role a principal ought to fill.

Hypothesis Number 3

The hypothesis that no significant differences

existed according to the sex of the respondent and the

six major categories of the high school principal's

functions as perceived by student body presidents was

tested by computing an analysis of variance for the six

categories of functions and the categories of male and

female. An F ratio of 3.92 was necessary for rejection,

and this value was exceeded for three of the variables:

curriculum and instructional leadership, personnel

guidance, and evaluation responsibility. The hypothesis

was rejected.

An analysis of the response means of the three

9

Page 41: DOCUMENT RESUME - ERIC · DOCUMENT RESUME ED 128 911 EA 008 682 AUTHOR Wilson, Alfred P., Comp.; And Others TITLE The Principalship. A Selected Bibliography. No. 17601. PUB DATE 76

catevories with a significant F, indicates that in the

areas of curriculum and instructional leadership, personnel

guidance, and evaluation responsibility, female student

body presidents, in each case, assigned a significantly

greater importance to these three categories than did

their mile counterparts.

Closer analysis reveals that the mean response

of the females was higher then the males for all six

categories, although for the categories of school-

community relations, administrative.responsibility, and

professional improvement, the difference was not statis-

tically significant at the .05 level.

Hypothesis Number 4

The hypothesis that no significant differences

existed according to the race of the respondent and the

six major categories of the high school principal's

functions as perceived by student body presidents was

tested by computing an analysis of variance for thE six

categories of functions and the two categories for race:

caucasian and non-caucasian. An F ratio of 3.92 or

larger was necessary to reject the hypothesis. None of

the six F's was near the. region of rejection.

Hypothesis Number 5

The hypothesis that no significant differences

existed occording to the academic success of the student

and the six major categories of the high sch,Jol principal's

functions as perceived by student body presidents was

tested by comput-ftg an analysis of variance for the six

categories of functions and the three categories for

academic success (G.P.A. = 2.5-2.99; 3.0-3.49; 3.5-4.0).

An F ratio of 3.07 or larger was necessary to reject the

hypothesis. This region of rejection wa, reached for

three of the variables: personnel guidance, administrative

responsibility, and evaluation responsibility. The

hypothesis was rejected.

An analysis of the response means of the three

categories with a significant F, indicates that in the

areas of personnel guldance, administrative responsibility,

and evaluation responsibility, students with the lowest

grade point average (2.5 2.99) assigned a significantly

greater importance to the administrative functions in

these three categories than did students who were more

successful in school as evidenced by their higher grade

point averages. Students in this lowest of academic

achievement categories place the relative importance of

principal functions at a higher level then the more

successful students in all six categories, although the

differences were not great enough to be statistically

significant in the areas of curriculum and instructional

leadership, school-community relations, and professional

improvement.

Hypothesis Number 6

The hypothesis that no significant differences

existed according to the occupational category of the

parent and the six major categories, of the high school

principal's functions as perceived by student body pres-

idents was tested by computing an analysis of variance

for the six categories of functions and the four cate-

gories for parent occupation: professiona1-mana9eria1,

blue collar, service occupations, and agricultural.

An F ratio of 2.68 or higher was required to reject the

hypothesis. This region of rejection was reached for

four out of the six categories: curriculum and instruc-

tional leadership, personnel guidance, school-community

relations, and professional improvement. The hypothesis

was rejected.

An analysis of the response means indicates that

in all six categories of administrative functions the

category of student with the highest mean was the agri-

1 2

Page 44: DOCUMENT RESUME - ERIC · DOCUMENT RESUME ED 128 911 EA 008 682 AUTHOR Wilson, Alfred P., Comp.; And Others TITLE The Principalship. A Selected Bibliography. No. 17601. PUB DATE 76

cultural group, and the service occupation group had the

lowest mean, with professional-managerial and blue collar

somewhere between the two extremes. The two occupa-

tional categories are at opposite poles when compared

by their dependency upon organizational structure. The

farmer is almost entirely independent in terms of a job

structure imposed from a supervisor. The service worker,

on the other hand, is directly dependent upon another

for the structure of the job and could almost be said to

be subservient to others in the course of a day's work.

It is interesting that these extremes apparently have an

effect upon the manner in wh(1,,, student leaders reared in

these environments view the importar!.ce of the administrative

functions of an organizational leader.

When we analyze more closely the variable with a

significant F, we find that in the area of curriculum

and instructional leadership students in the agricul-

tural, blue collar, and professional-managerial categories

ranked the importance of this function significantly

higher than students in the service occupation category.

Although agricultural students rank this function higher

than blue collar students, and blue collar students rank

it higher than professional-managerial students, none

of these differences is significant at the .05 level.

An analysis of the personnel guidance function

shows an identical relationship. Agricultural students

developed the highest mean. They were followed by blue

collar and professional-managerial in that order. These

then, while not being significantly different from each

other, were significantly higher than students from

service worker homes.

The school-community relations function shows a

somewhat similar pattern. We find that agrir.ultural

and professional-managerial students ranked this function

significantly above students from service occupation homes.

There was no significant difference between blue collar

respondents and any of the other three categories at the

.05 level.

In analyzing the professional improvement category,

again we find agricultural students with the highest mean,

but this time they are significantly higher than the other

three categories. This seems to be a logical finding.

Few occupations in America are more independent of others

than the American farmer. A large degree of his success

or failure is dependent upon his degree of self-deter-*

mination and initiative. It is fitting then, that students

from this environment see the need for self-initiative

in a more important light than their fellow students from

other occupational backgrounds.

RankinQ of Princi al Functions

Although not one of the specific hypotheses of

the study, it seemed desirable to determine the over-all

rank of importance of the administrative functions by

examining,the responses. Evaluation responsibility

received the highest over-all response from the students.

It was followed by personnel guidance, curriculum and

instructional leadership, professional improvement

administrative responsibility and school-community

relations, in that order. An analysis of variance was

done and LSD technique was applied. The results indicated

that the evaluation responsibility factor was significantly

higher than the other five, and that personnnel guidance

and curriculum and instructional leadership were signif-

icantly higher than professional improvement, administra-

tive responsibility, and school-community relations.

Summary of Findings

No significant differences were apparent in the

responses when based on the race of respondent, the geo-

graphic residence of the respondent, or the size of high

school attended by the respondent.

Discussion

The theoretical framework to which this study

addressed itself identified two distinct facets which

determine human behavior within the setting of a social

sYstem. One facet being the personality and need

dispositions of the individual, and the second facet

being the institutional goals which are organized into

roles and serve as norms of behavior for the role incum-

bents.

It was this second facet with which this study was

concerned. A considerable amount of research has been

done to identify the role expectations fellow professional

educators have for high school principals. There has

been a lack of research done to identify the expecta ions

of a very important population, the high school students

17

themselves.

The purpose of this research was to provide a

greater understanding to the practicing high school prin-

cipal of the expectations students have concerning the

importance of his various functions. It was hoped the

data that was collected could assist the principal in

making wiser choices as he establishes his priorities.

It is hoped that this study will indeed assist

practicing principals. If it does, it will also have

implications for central office personnel, boards of

education, administrator-preparing institutions, and

research personnel.

Perhaps one of the most interesting results of

this study, was that it was possible to construct a pro-

file of American high school student body presidents,

since the study was based on a nation-wide sample of

_randomly selected student body presidents. It was found

that the typical student body president was a senior

with a rather high academic average of between B+ and

A. This academically successful senior is a your.g man

(In 68% of the cases), and is white (In 87% of the cases).

Although his home respresents many occupational categories,

a disproportionate number are from families headed by

parents in professional and management occupations.

It should be important to mobile professionals,

and particularly to administrator-training institutions

Q

Page 50: DOCUMENT RESUME - ERIC · DOCUMENT RESUME ED 128 911 EA 008 682 AUTHOR Wilson, Alfred P., Comp.; And Others TITLE The Principalship. A Selected Bibliography. No. 17601. PUB DATE 76

to learn that there is no significant differences (.05 level)

in the perception by high school student body presidents of

the principal's role based on geographic location. The re-

sponses of students from all six areas were remarkably

similar.

In a similar vein, it was discovered there were no

significant differences (at the .05 level) in student per-

ceptions based on school size and race of respondent, it

cannot be inferred that the principal's function is the same

in a small high school as in a large one, nor is it justifi-

able to conclude that the principalship in an inner-city,

multi-racial high school is equivalent to an all-white

suburban high school. It is interesting, however, that

students from ea.ch of these categories seem to have much the

same expectations for high school principa;s in terms of the

importance they assign to his job-related functions.

To the practicing principal it is worthwile to

note that female high school students see all administra-

tive functions in a more important light than do the males.

Curriculum and instructional leadership, personnel guid-,

ance and evaluation responsibility were higher to a

statistically significant degree.

The criterion of academic success of the responding

student provided the information that students with the

lowest grade point averages among respondents rank all

areas of administrative functions higher than more success-

1 9

Page 51: DOCUMENT RESUME - ERIC · DOCUMENT RESUME ED 128 911 EA 008 682 AUTHOR Wilson, Alfred P., Comp.; And Others TITLE The Principalship. A Selected Bibliography. No. 17601. PUB DATE 76

ful students. It should not be inferred that all low

achievers share these perceptions. The students sampled

were student leaders who had been elected to this position

by their peers, and had been in office most of a.year when

sampled. It seems probable they had developed an appreci-

ation foq "administration" to a higher degree than many

a'verage or low-achieving students. Indeed, they had 'a

higher appreciation for all administrative functions than

even the more successful students, and were significantly

higher in the areas of personnel guidance, administrative .

responsibility, and evaluation responsibility.

Even at the most rudimentary levels of teacher

preparation, the value of understanding the home environ-

ment is emphasized. The findings of this study corroborate

that pOlosophy. Students from different home environments

do vi5.1w the prinipal's function in a different light.

Students from farming backgrounds view all principal

functions as more important then their fellow students,

and students with parents in Service occupations tend to

rank all functions as being less important.

An analysis of variance indicated there is a

significant difference in the relative importance assigned

to the six major fuftctions of principal's functions by

student body presidents.

The highest ranking category was evaluation

responsibility which was significantly above the other

20

Page 52: DOCUMENT RESUME - ERIC · DOCUMENT RESUME ED 128 911 EA 008 682 AUTHOR Wilson, Alfred P., Comp.; And Others TITLE The Principalship. A Selected Bibliography. No. 17601. PUB DATE 76

five. There was no significant difference between the

category means of personnel guidance, which ranked second,

and curriculum and instructional leadership, which ranked

third. These were significantly above the means of pro-

fessional improvement, administrative responsibility, and

school-community relations which ranked in that order.

This'study has provided some insights into the

manner in which students view the principal's functions.

It is hoped other researchers will continue to add depth

and breadth to this area of understanding that should be

vital to the discipline of building level administration.
