1. An Overview of the Study
In the current context of educational challenges, it is affirmative that school administrators play their
significant role in contributing to the effectiveness of school performances. Over the past decades, the
most applicable role for school administrators is to oversee priorities on the approaches of establishing
excellent institutional culture.
In this study, Dr. Fathi Mohamed Abu Nasser of King Faisal University explores the effective
administrative approach aimed at improving the educational process and assisting in promoting the
performance of educational institutions which refers to schools in particular.
Schools in accordance to the researcher considered as an important basic educational institution,
thereby creating a benchmark demanding a mission in achieving the desired goals and objectives. It is
therefore evident that intelligibility in approach of its management and determining course of actions
become the backbone to the success of the school.
The researcher highlights that the core of this study is basically to comprehend the level of effectiveness
of institutional performance in government schools in Al Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. It is further specified that
there were a number of weaknesses and imbalances in school performance, particularly in secondary
schools, which qualify students for higher education as well as the labor market. This according to the
researcher further creates the need for strong and effective approaches in school management and
leadership. This statement is further supported by Orloski (1984), who outlined the five direct
responsibility of school principals: strong leadership, providing the appropriate atmosphere, school
emphasizes in skills learning, teachers expectations and providing performance monitoring system.
Taking all the criteria and elements of school performance into thoughtful consideration, this study
places faculty and provides a pertinent gap as it is entirely relevant to the area of educational research I
am going to explore further which deals with the practices and leadership aspects of the Malaysian
School Inspectorate (Jemaah Nazir dan Jaminan Kualiti), Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia.
2. Description of Methodology
2.1 Objective of the Study and Its Importance
As stated earlier, this study aims at identifying the degree of effectiveness of institutional performance
in secondary schools in the Al-Ahsa province from the standpoint of school administrators. Moreover,
the study also presents the selection of various variables related to school principals namely
qualification, school, experience and the number of training courses. Additionally, this study further
aims at providing more data to the Ministry of Education of Saudi Arabia to assist narrow down
weaknesses and shortcomings in attempting to deal it before it gets out of control. The researcher also
pointed out that the importance of the study lies in being one of the comprehensive studies in this field.

2.2 Research Questions
In the researcher’s attempt to explore his survey, the study sought to answer the following questions to
provide adequate answers to his research objectives:
i. What is the estimated degree of effectiveness of institutional performance in government
schools in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia from the standpoint of school administrators?
ii. Is there a statistically significant difference in estimating the degree of effectiveness of
institutional performance in government schools from the perspective of school
administrators due to changes, qualifications, experience and the number of training
courses?
These questions are relevantly considered to be comprehensive as claimed by the researcher as they
pose significant maxims in his effort to seek and investigate the level of effectiveness of institutional
performance.
2.3 Operational Definitions
The researcher highlights and presents operational definitions of three major variables in his study
namely:
i. Effectiveness : The ability of schools to achieve their envisaged objectives in accordance
with the strategic planning, school leadership, organizational climate.
ii. Performance : The school performance of work and duties assigned to it to achieve the
desired objectives un the areas of strategic planning.
iii. Institutional Performance : Schools’ performance of duties through group individuals in
order to achieve the objectives in the areas of strategic planning.
As seen, all these key items correspond with the aim and questions that this study wish to explore and
discover.
2.4 Limitations of Study
It is specified by the researcher that the study is limited in estimating the degree of effectiveness of
institutional performance in Ahsa Government Male Secondary Schools, Saudi Arabia, during the Second
Semester of 2008/2009.
2.5 Population and Sample of Study
The population refers to the targeted group of which in this particular study includes public school
principals of Al-Ahsa province for the academic year of 2008/2009. Relatively, the sample consists of 90
public school principals, 85% of which was randomly selected from list of school principals.
2.6 Research Methodology
This study utilizes questionnaire that has been developed and it includes 32 paragraphs in accordance
with the Likert Five-Point Item in assessment of the degree of institutional effectiveness from the
viewpoint of Al-Ahsa public school Principals. Moreover, performance paragraphs are distributed over
three areas. It is pointed out by the researcher that instrument stability factor scored 0.92 in agreement
5
with Cronbach’s Alph which tested the reliability of the research instrument used. Furthermore,
reliability of tools also had been verified by using internal reliability method.
2.7 Variables of the Study
The study employs Independent Variable which focus on experience as well as the number of training
courses. What is more, Dependent Variable is also used which consists of the degree of effectiveness of
the institutional performance in Al-Ahsa public secondary schools.
2.8 Findings of the Study
The findings of this study are directed with regards to the two research questions discussed earlier. With
respect to the research questions addressed by the researcher, it is safe to conclude that there were no
significant differences in the institutional performance due to qualification as well as experience.
Based on these findings, various substantial conclusions are thereby drawn by the researcher. First and
foremost, the researcher concluded that effective administration should include planning, organization,
follow up, evaluation, development and changing process. He added that school effectiveness can be
measured by the positive atmosphere and cooperative action-oriented, in addition to providing a
system feedback and evaluation system in place. This is strongly supported by Orloski (1984) who
outlines the five constituent of effective principles in managing schools namely strong leadership,
appropriate atmosphere, skills learning, teachers’ expectations and performance monitoring system.
In short, the researcher further stressed that the concept of effectiveness of the school depends very
much on the organizational unit, and that it is expressed in the form of school output, measured in the
light of the average achievement of students (Mamari, 2004)
3. Evaluation
In aiming to investigate the institutional performance in secondary schools, suffice to note that the
relevance as well as the accuracy of this study is clearly established by the researcher. This is due to the
fact that the researcher focuses on investigating and understanding the level of effectiveness of
institutional performances within the perspective of school principals, who hold the optimal power in
the pursuit of achieving the school determined objectives.
It is also discovered that the study has adequately addressed its objectives and the two significant
research questions posed managed to provide the desired answers in this study. The use of Likert Five-
Point item to assess the degree of institutional effectiveness in particular, is pertinent in terms of the
method selected in this study which is seen to employ the quantitative method of research approach. In
other words, the questions has proven to be appropriate to measure what the researcher wanted to
know and explore. Also, the utilization of questionnaire by the researcher in his attempt to elicit answer
for the research questions is deemed valid as the instrument and tool stability were carefully tested
conforming to the Cronbach’s Alph method of testing the internal consistency of test questions.
6
In the same manner, it is also important to note that the researcher managed in accomplishing the
establishment of the significance of the research questions in estimating the degree of effectiveness of
institutional performance in government schools. This is proven in the researcher adoption of
appropriate variables such as qualification and job experience. Additionally, in determining the impact
of scientific qualification variable, Levene’s Test which aims to assess the equality of variances for a
variable calculated for two or more groups had been used to detect statistically significant differences in
estimating the degree of effectiveness.
As educators, it can be clearly concluded that given the methods of data collection and analysis of this
study, the researcher managed to come up with reasonable conclusion in getting accurate answers for
his two efficacious research questions.
Nevertheless, in the light of methodological accuracy and suitability, the researcher might also explore
the possibility of using qualitative approach in gathering data from respective schools principals. This is
based on the fact that some of the research tool and item might require respondents to express their
free own opinion as well personal insights as experienced individual school leaders. Thus, offering the
researcher variety of data and input to address issues in his study.
4. Discussion of Implications
From my own point of understanding and view, the outcome of this research not only support the
notion for school administrators to strategically overcome the number of weaknesses and shortcomings
in their institutions, but also suggest that more attention should be paid in narrowing down those
imbalances. This implies that schools should focus more in developing appropriate intervention
programs in line with the mission of the Ministry of Education. This study further recommends that
school principals be subjected to intensive training programs for improvements. For future study, the
researcher suggests that this study be carried out in female students school in the same area. Both
theory and findings of this study indicate that proper thought and planning in educational management
should not be taken lightly as this will drive the institutions to develop a long term strategies that makes
the most of the diverse perspectives in educational management and leadership styles.
As a novice researcher, the overall structure as well as main argument and theory exhibited in this
research paper provide a beneficial insights on the appropriate research approach and methodology to
be employed in conducting an educational research of my own. Such informed decision will further
assist in forming accurate and meaningful philosophical assumptions that I will bring in my own research
in the near future.

  • 3. 3 1. An Overview of the Study In the current context of educational challenges, it is affirmative that school administrators play their significant role in contributing to the effectiveness of school performances. Over the past decades, the most applicable role for school administrators is to oversee priorities on the approaches of establishing excellent institutional culture. In this study, Dr. Fathi Mohamed Abu Nasser of King Faisal University explores the effective administrative approach aimed at improving the educational process and assisting in promoting the performance of educational institutions which refers to schools in particular. Schools in accordance to the researcher considered as an important basic educational institution, thereby creating a benchmark demanding a mission in achieving the desired goals and objectives. It is therefore evident that intelligibility in approach of its management and determining course of actions become the backbone to the success of the school. The researcher highlights that the core of this study is basically to comprehend the level of effectiveness of institutional performance in government schools in Al Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. It is further specified that there were a number of weaknesses and imbalances in school performance, particularly in secondary schools, which qualify students for higher education as well as the labor market. This according to the researcher further creates the need for strong and effective approaches in school management and leadership. This statement is further supported by Orloski (1984), who outlined the five direct responsibility of school principals: strong leadership, providing the appropriate atmosphere, school emphasizes in skills learning, teachers expectations and providing performance monitoring system. Taking all the criteria and elements of school performance into thoughtful consideration, this study places faculty and provides a pertinent gap as it is entirely relevant to the area of educational research I am going to explore further which deals with the practices and leadership aspects of the Malaysian School Inspectorate (Jemaah Nazir dan Jaminan Kualiti), Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia. 2. Description of Methodology 2.1 Objective of the Study and Its Importance As stated earlier, this study aims at identifying the degree of effectiveness of institutional performance in secondary schools in the Al-Ahsa province from the standpoint of school administrators. Moreover, the study also presents the selection of various variables related to school principals namely qualification, school, experience and the number of training courses. Additionally, this study further aims at providing more data to the Ministry of Education of Saudi Arabia to assist narrow down weaknesses and shortcomings in attempting to deal it before it gets out of control. The researcher also pointed out that the importance of the study lies in being one of the comprehensive studies in this field.
  • 4. 4 2.2 Research Questions In the researcher’s attempt to explore his survey, the study sought to answer the following questions to provide adequate answers to his research objectives: i. What is the estimated degree of effectiveness of institutional performance in government schools in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia from the standpoint of school administrators? ii. Is there a statistically significant difference in estimating the degree of effectiveness of institutional performance in government schools from the perspective of school administrators due to changes, qualifications, experience and the number of training courses? These questions are relevantly considered to be comprehensive as claimed by the researcher as they pose significant maxims in his effort to seek and investigate the level of effectiveness of institutional performance. 2.3 Operational Definitions The researcher highlights and presents operational definitions of three major variables in his study namely: i. Effectiveness : The ability of schools to achieve their envisaged objectives in accordance with the strategic planning, school leadership, organizational climate. ii. Performance : The school performance of work and duties assigned to it to achieve the desired objectives un the areas of strategic planning. iii. Institutional Performance : Schools’ performance of duties through group individuals in order to achieve the objectives in the areas of strategic planning. As seen, all these key items correspond with the aim and questions that this study wish to explore and discover. 2.4 Limitations of Study It is specified by the researcher that the study is limited in estimating the degree of effectiveness of institutional performance in Ahsa Government Male Secondary Schools, Saudi Arabia, during the Second Semester of 2008/2009. 2.5 Population and Sample of Study The population refers to the targeted group of which in this particular study includes public school principals of Al-Ahsa province for the academic year of 2008/2009. Relatively, the sample consists of 90 public school principals, 85% of which was randomly selected from list of school principals. 2.6 Research Methodology This study utilizes questionnaire that has been developed and it includes 32 paragraphs in accordance with the Likert Five-Point Item in assessment of the degree of institutional effectiveness from the viewpoint of Al-Ahsa public school Principals. Moreover, performance paragraphs are distributed over three areas. It is pointed out by the researcher that instrument stability factor scored 0.92 in agreement
  • 5. 5 with Cronbach’s Alph which tested the reliability of the research instrument used. Furthermore, reliability of tools also had been verified by using internal reliability method. 2.7 Variables of the Study The study employs Independent Variable which focus on experience as well as the number of training courses. What is more, Dependent Variable is also used which consists of the degree of effectiveness of the institutional performance in Al-Ahsa public secondary schools. 2.8 Findings of the Study The findings of this study are directed with regards to the two research questions discussed earlier. With respect to the research questions addressed by the researcher, it is safe to conclude that there were no significant differences in the institutional performance due to qualification as well as experience. Based on these findings, various substantial conclusions are thereby drawn by the researcher. First and foremost, the researcher concluded that effective administration should include planning, organization, follow up, evaluation, development and changing process. He added that school effectiveness can be measured by the positive atmosphere and cooperative action-oriented, in addition to providing a system feedback and evaluation system in place. This is strongly supported by Orloski (1984) who outlines the five constituent of effective principles in managing schools namely strong leadership, appropriate atmosphere, skills learning, teachers’ expectations and performance monitoring system. In short, the researcher further stressed that the concept of effectiveness of the school depends very much on the organizational unit, and that it is expressed in the form of school output, measured in the light of the average achievement of students (Mamari, 2004) 3. Evaluation In aiming to investigate the institutional performance in secondary schools, suffice to note that the relevance as well as the accuracy of this study is clearly established by the researcher. This is due to the fact that the researcher focuses on investigating and understanding the level of effectiveness of institutional performances within the perspective of school principals, who hold the optimal power in the pursuit of achieving the school determined objectives. It is also discovered that the study has adequately addressed its objectives and the two significant research questions posed managed to provide the desired answers in this study. The use of Likert Five- Point item to assess the degree of institutional effectiveness in particular, is pertinent in terms of the method selected in this study which is seen to employ the quantitative method of research approach. In other words, the questions has proven to be appropriate to measure what the researcher wanted to know and explore. Also, the utilization of questionnaire by the researcher in his attempt to elicit answer for the research questions is deemed valid as the instrument and tool stability were carefully tested conforming to the Cronbach’s Alph method of testing the internal consistency of test questions.
  • 6. 6 In the same manner, it is also important to note that the researcher managed in accomplishing the establishment of the significance of the research questions in estimating the degree of effectiveness of institutional performance in government schools. This is proven in the researcher adoption of appropriate variables such as qualification and job experience. Additionally, in determining the impact of scientific qualification variable, Levene’s Test which aims to assess the equality of variances for a variable calculated for two or more groups had been used to detect statistically significant differences in estimating the degree of effectiveness. As educators, it can be clearly concluded that given the methods of data collection and analysis of this study, the researcher managed to come up with reasonable conclusion in getting accurate answers for his two efficacious research questions. Nevertheless, in the light of methodological accuracy and suitability, the researcher might also explore the possibility of using qualitative approach in gathering data from respective schools principals. This is based on the fact that some of the research tool and item might require respondents to express their free own opinion as well personal insights as experienced individual school leaders. Thus, offering the researcher variety of data and input to address issues in his study. 4. Discussion of Implications From my own point of understanding and view, the outcome of this research not only support the notion for school administrators to strategically overcome the number of weaknesses and shortcomings in their institutions, but also suggest that more attention should be paid in narrowing down those imbalances. This implies that schools should focus more in developing appropriate intervention programs in line with the mission of the Ministry of Education. This study further recommends that school principals be subjected to intensive training programs for improvements. For future study, the researcher suggests that this study be carried out in female students school in the same area. Both theory and findings of this study indicate that proper thought and planning in educational management should not be taken lightly as this will drive the institutions to develop a long term strategies that makes the most of the diverse perspectives in educational management and leadership styles. As a novice researcher, the overall structure as well as main argument and theory exhibited in this research paper provide a beneficial insights on the appropriate research approach and methodology to be employed in conducting an educational research of my own. Such informed decision will further assist in forming accurate and meaningful philosophical assumptions that I will bring in my own research in the near future.
