Three Catholic primary schools in the Maitland Diocese of N.S.W. were chosen for the study. The schools were of similar size, economic circumstances and geographical situations. The participants in the research included 82 pupils from years 5/6, 4 teachers and 3 teaching principals. A qualitative approach was chosen, utilizing questionnaires and individual interviews, processes which fit well into the Survey Research Model.The Self Description Questionnaires (SDQ1 and SDQ111), (Marsh 1982, 1990) were used to identify and evaluate levels of self-concept in both pupils and staff, to examine the relationship between pupils and staff, to assess any direct influence of school leaders upon the self-concept, attitudes, behaviour and morale of both pupils and staff. | Publication Type: | Thesis Masters Research | Rights Statement: | Copyright 1995 - Anne-Marie Barnett | HERDC Category Description: | T1 Thesis - Masters Degree by Research |
