Abstract:
This paper examines the views of secondary education school teachers, regarding the educational decisions made in school, in relation to the behavior of the school Principal. Theoretically are being approached the institutional bodies involved in the administration of the school unit, the decision-making as a function of the administration of a school unit, as well as the roles, the procedures and the decision-making models. The survey was conducted with a written questionnaire, with five main axes: the strengthening of the role of the teachers, the responsibilities of the principal, the decision-making by the principal, the image of the school and the role of the Teachers' Association. The sample of the research was consisted of 151 teachers of secondary education of the Dodecanese islands in Greece and inductive statistical analyses were performed on a total of five variables that concerned either personal data of the teachers or data of the school units in which teachers work. A key research finding is the distance that separates teachers' expectations from what applies in school practice.
