Among Headmasters and The Correlation with Primary Schools’ Achievement in Sabah,
Malaysia. English Language Teaching, 15(2). https://doi.org/10.5539/elt.v15n2p50

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The article that I review was written by Sultan, F. M. M., Karuppannan, G., & Rumpod. J (2022)
about the instructional leadership practices among headmasters and how it relates to the
achievements of primary schools in Sabah. In this study, 141 respondents including senior
assistant of primary schools were examined from schools in Tuaran District.

2.0 THE FOCUS OF THE STUDY

The ability to implement changes, raise student achievement, and improve school performance
should be possessed by highly effective and committed school leaders. The Malaysian Ministry
of Education (MoE) is committed in implementing the goals of the Malaysian Education
Development Plan (PPPM) 2013-2025, which includes the placement of highly qualified
principals and other school administrators to ensure that all schools in the country meet or
exceed national benchmarks. As a result, one of the primary concerns is enhancing the
procedures for selecting and training school leaders to raise the bar on the effectiveness of school
leadership. The Ministry of Education (MoE) is sure that, after undergoing this shift, principals
will be able to serve not just as an exceptional head administrator, leading the faculty and
working as an agent of change in their schools and communities, but also as an effective
instructional leader. Hence, the headmaster, as the leader of the school, should act as a motivator,
mentor, and supervisor of teachers in order to raise and sustain the standard of education
provided.

Scholars, people who work in education, and people who make policy all agree that school
leaders' leadership is the most important factor in improving school performance and making the
system work well (Fullan, 2007; Harris, 2013; Leithwood K. and Jantzi, 2005). They also came
to the conclusion that school leaders' leadership makes schools do better and helps students do

1
better in school (Day et al., 2008; Hallinger and Heck, 1996; Leithwood K. et al., 2008). Bogler
(2005) and Waters et al. (20035 both wrote about the link between school leadership and
students' academic success. They said that a school leader's style can affect many things in the
school environment, such as how teachers and staff feel about their jobs, how teaching and
learning happen, and how well students do in school.

The word "instructional" is where the word "instructional" comes from. Instruction means to
teach. The word "teaching" is used more often in school and everyday life. However, because the
word "teaching" is so intense and specific in education, the term "instructional leadership" is
used more than "teaching leadership," even though both terms mean the same thing, which is that
everything a school leader does is meant to improve the academic performance (James A. J. E.
and Balasandran, 2013). Researchers and scholars of educational leadership have come up with a
lot of different ways to explain what instructional leadership is. Some of the definitions are a
type of leadership that can affect school growth (Kis and Konan, 2014) and a type of leadership
that uses knowledge to solve academic problems and makes teachers aware of their roles in
reaching school goals (Kis and Konan, 2014).

Thus the purpose of this research is to establish whether or not elementary school principals
engage in a high degree of instructional leadership techniques and whether or not this level is
negatively related to student progress.

3.0 THE IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY

The Ministry of Education’s continuous effort in ensuring the success of education

transformation requires the commitment of headmasters with instructional leadership qualities
and high performing teachers. The role of instructional leadership is vital and can be a
determinant of excellence and achievement of the desired education.

Several changes have been made by the Ministry of Education Malaysia throughout Malaysia
Educational Development Plan 2013-2025 to meet the global educational standard beyond 2020.
To accomplish it, the leadership role played by the headmasters is very important in ensuring the
effective management of the schools. The Malaysian Educational Development Plan 2013-2025
has been formulated to ensure the successful implementation of the education system
transformation.

2
The foundation of leadership in the school is based on instructional because teaching and
learning is the main essence in determining student excellence. The Malaysian Ministry of
Education has emphasized that instructional leadership plays a role in the development of teacher
performance as well as planning, coordinating and evaluating teaching and learning activities in
schools. Hallinger (2011) claims that there is a strong correlation between instructional
leadership and teacher performance. Specifically, research by Sazali, Rusmini, Abang Hut, and
Zamri (2007) demonstrates a connection between certain forms of instructional leadership and
improved student performance.

Teacher performance is the actions, behaviours, and work products that can be measured or made
by teachers, are relevant, and help the school or organisation reach its goals. According to
Buluyos et al. (2019), work performance is observed from the teacher’s commitment to attend
duty, compliance with school rules, work spirit, compilation of work at specified time and
relationship with colleagues. In this study, teacher performance is based on the Work
Performance Hierarchy Model by Campbell.

Great leadership is a big reason why some schools do well and others don't. Different types of
leadership can be used in schools, depending on the needs and skills of the leader. School leaders
use instructional leadership in the right way to make their schools better through educational
change and innovation. In this way, teacher performance is one of the things that should be taken
into account when building a good school.

4.0 DISCUSSION

In this study, the UPSR analysis in several schools in Tuaran district was taken into account for
year 2014 until 2016. UPSR result is categorized based on band 1 until band 4 where band 1 is
for the best performance. In 2015, the band 1 result for UPSR in Tuaran district is 20.55%. When
the next year's UPSR results were looked at, they showed a drop. The District Average Grade
(GPA) went from 2.57 to 3.04, and there were only 6.76% of excellent schools with a GPA of
1.0 to 1.99. 58.11% of schools got a GPS score of 2.0 to 2.99, and 35.13 (3.1-3.99). Besides that,
the performance of schools based on where they are raises a lot of questions. For instance, most
of the Band 1 schools are in the Nabalu, Kiulu, and Tamparuli zones. Band 4 schools, on the
other hand, are mostly found in the Sulaman and Mengkabong Zones.

3
Based on this situation, the researcher believe that a study needs to be conducted to find out what
is the cause of this problem. If the situation or problem keeps happening, it shows that the
school's leaders aren't doing their jobs well, and it could hurt the school's performance in the long
run.

Hence, several objectives listed to guide the study to a conclusion.

i. To determine the level of instructional leadership practices among primary school

headmasters in Tuaran District.
ii. To identify the level of instructional leadership practices among headmasters based
on school bands in Tuaran District.
iii. To identify differences in the level of instructional leadership of headmasters in
Tuaran District based on demographic factors.
iv. To analyze the relationship between the instructional leadership practices of
principals with the achievement of school bands in Tuaran District.

Thus, the Instructional Leadership Model which developed by Hallinger and Murphy (1985) is
being used as the conceptual framework. There are several independent variables and dependent
variable. Independent variables used was the instructional leadership for headmasters and
dependent variable was school band achievement. Under independent variables, there were 3
dimensions namely school goals, instructional programs and promoting positive learning climate.

Previous studies from various researchers also support the fact that the instructional leadership is
the main factor in schools successful. In this study, researchers used questionnaire instrument
that was developed by Hallinger (2000) as method of collecting data. The questionnaire
instrument consist of three parts namely parts A, B and C with total number of questions is 57.
Researchers did a pilot study in primary schools in the district of Tamparuli with 42 participants,
which is 30 percent of the actual study sample. This was done to improve the research process.

4.1 The Key Results

The researcher came to the conclusion that primary school headmasters in Tuaran District,
Sabah, have a high level of instructional leadership practices. They have done their jobs as
instructional leaders in a way that meets the goals of the Ministry of Education (MoE) as stated
in the PPPM, which puts high-performing leaders in place to improve education. Second,

4
defining schools' goals has the highest score, which shows that many headmasters put a lot of
importance on it. The second and third most important things are managing teaching programs
and creating a good learning environment, respectively. Third, the study found that headmasters
in Band 1 schools do a better job of leading instruction than those in Band 2 and 3 schools.

There are many things that affect how good a school is. One of these factors is leadership. The
quality of a school is also affected by its demographics, location, the socioeconomic status of the
parents, and the environment in the area. Overall, it was found that headmasters should focus on
all three aspects of instructional leadership that have been talked about so far: defining the goals
of their schools, managing instructional programmes, and creating a good learning environment.
This is in line with Zakaria's (2016) study of under-enrolled schools in Malaysia, which found
that headmasters have high instructional leadership when it comes to creating their school's
mission and vision.

5.0 CRITIQUE OF THE ARTICLE

The Preliminary Report of Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025 makes it clear that school
leaders who practice instructional leadership can improve students' success by 20%. This report
also said that the headmaster wasn't the only person who should be trained and given
responsibility as an instructional leader. The assistant headmaster, head of department, and head
of committee should also be trained and given responsibility as instructional leaders
(Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia, 2012). Based on this short description, it's clear that
instructional leadership is still a good way to run a school. The Ministry of Education (MOE)
trusts it to keep the school moving forward and help students do better in school and grow as
people. It can also produce good human capital.

According to Leech et al. (2005), many researchers have come to the conclusion that
instructional leadership is the most important factor in creating a positive organization climate.
This is because the primary responsibility of instructional leadership is to ensure that students
receive a quality education by placing an emphasis on the professional and instructional skills of
teachers. In addition, the significance of instructional leadership has been highlighted by a
number of scholars, who have said that the performance of a school is inextricably linked to the
instructional leadership that is exercised by its school administrators (Duke, 1987; Hallinger,
2003; Hassan et al., 2012).

5
According to Findley and Findley (1992), in this particular setting, it has been clearly explained
that when a school is effective, it is because of the instructional leadership characteristics that are
portrayed by the school leaders. In addition, Mortimore (1993) found that children exhibited a
high level of self-discipline in schools that were led by true instructional leaders, which typically
portrayed a favourable and orderly learning environment. While the facilities at the school are
kept in good condition, the T&L process's content appears to be engaging and enjoyable.

There is some uncertainty regarding the capacity of school leaders who engaged in instructional
leadership to boost the academic accomplishment of their students. Even though they were
engaged in the practise of instructional leadership, school leaders did not succeed in improving
the overall quality of the education that their pupils received, according to the empirical evidence
(Cuban, 1983; Hallinger, 2008). According to the findings of a study that was conducted by
Leithwood K. (2012), the students only considered the role of the school leaders in enhancing
their learning quality to be small, which was only around 12 to 25 percent. On the other hand, the
external surrounding and family factors contributed up to 50 percent in influencing students'
academic achievement (Leithwood K. et al., 2010).

Since a number of decades ago, there has been a push that requires school leaders to cut back on
the amount of time they spend on managerial duties and instead concentrate more on their
responsibilities as instructional leaders. For a school leader who has previously worked in the
classroom but has since left the profession, returning to the classroom with the intention of
improving the teaching abilities of other educators is an extremely difficult challenge (Hallinger,
2003; Stronge, 1993). Hallinger (2011a) found that school leaders were always under pressure to
be fully responsible as instructional leadership because it is believed to enhance students'
academic achievement. This is the case despite the fact that school leaders are also responsible
for completing other tasks, such as managing and administrating the school. Because of all of the
hustle and bustle involved in completing these management and administrative responsibilities,
the capacity of the school leaders to fulfil their job as instructional leaders, particularly in terms
of overseeing and observing the T&L sessions of the instructors, was severely compromised. In
the end, these responsibilities were always taken care of by the assistant headmaster as well as
the heads of department (Hallinger, 2005).

6
According to this research, all three of the dimensions of instructional leadership show that
headmasters who want to make sure teachers do their jobs well use effective and high-quality
leadership practices. Overall, the results have been able to show that there is a link between
headmaster instructional practices and how well teachers do in school hence resulting in
academic performance. The way teachers do their jobs is affected by the ways that instructional
leaders set school goals, make sure those goals are met, supervise and evaluate teachers, check
on student progress, protect instructional time, and encourage professional development. The
results of this study can be used by headmasters as a guide to the practices of instructional
leadership and to make sure that teachers do their jobs well.

Based on what this study found, it is suggested that the Ministry of Education in Malaysia set up
regular and ongoing programs to help school leaders improve their skills as instructional leaders.
In the same way, school leaders need to make an effort to get better at instructional leadership
because the study clearly shows that instructional leadership practices have a big effect on how
well teachers do their jobs.

PART 2 : IN-DEPTH INTERVIEW REPORT

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Happiness in the workplace is widely recognised as an important contributor to businesses'

overall performance (Fisher, 2010; Ryff, 1989; Seligman, 2002; Seligman & Wrzesniewski,
2014; Wrzesniewski et al., 1997). Organizational happiness today appears to depend on the
satisfaction of both the employer and the employee in their relationship and on their ability to
continue meeting each other's expectations, in contrast to the findings of previous studies, which
tended to understate the importance of happiness in the workplace. Future high-quality
employees in this setting are likely to be held together and inspired by a culture of joy at work
(Fisher, 2010).

It has been said that schools that play a pivotal role in moulding society require organisational
happiness, where people performance acts as a mediator in the corporate world (Cindiloglu
Demirer, 2019). So, the idea of joy at school can be linked to and even characterised as a
component of organisational joy (Sezer & Can, 2019; Tingaz, 2013). Organizational happiness,
or school happiness as we'll call it in this context, can be thought of as the feeling of contentment
felt by those involved when they sense that the school's mission and their own personal
aspirations are in sync (Engels et al., 2004). ...... .... .…. .... .. ..... ......

Increased organisational satisfaction in schools has been linked to better student preparation for
development, including a greater propensity to follow school rules, skill growth, and cooperative
behaviour (Mahmoudi et al., 2019). Uzun and Kesiciolu (2019) found that when instructors
report high levels of job satisfaction, they are more invested in the success of their organisation.
Most educators would feel more fulfilled and inspired if they worked in a more aesthetically
pleasant and positive setting. Someone who enjoys their time at work will have a positive impact
on the morale of the faculty, the students, and anybody else with whom they come into contact.
When students assemble for a common cause at school, it's crucial to consider their collective
emotions and perspectives. To this end, it is believed that school administrators' vitality and

10
leadership behaviours play a crucial role in shaping students' and teachers' emotional experiences
at school (Demir & Zincirli, 2021). ...... .... .…. .... .. ..... ......

Principals are the leaders of schools who seek to achieve the school's goals and optimise
effectiveness (Bursaloglu, 2000). They are also the ones who work to develop their staff
members for the school's development and give the resources essential for the school's ongoing
development (Hoy & Miskel, 2010; Turan, 2010; Turan, 2014). According to Yukl (1999), a
school leader is someone who motivates educators to realise the school's mission. They are
crucial to the success of schools and classrooms (Liebowitz & Porter, 2019). Principals can do
all of this by keeping in mind the functions and needs of their personnel. So, only when
administration and faculty work together in harmony and collaboration can educational goals be
met (Gurbuz et al., 2013).

Based on article by Sultan, F. M. M., Karuppannan, G., & Rumpod, J (2022), an in-depth
interview report will be conducted. Two senior teachers are the respondent with more than five
years teaching experience.

2.0 RESEARCH OBJECTIVES

To conduct this interview, the research objectives need to be listed. The purpose of research
objective is to make sure the research done within the study purpose. For this in-depth interview
report, the research objective is to examine the teachers’ perception of the school principal’s
leadership qualities.

3.0 RESEARCH QUESTION

The question driving this investigation was whether there was a correlation between instructors'
perceptions of the school leadership style and students' academic performance. Teachers provide
crucial insight on administrators' leadership methods. It is considered that student achievement is
impacted in a measurable way by the manner in which principals lead their staffs and interact
with pupils.

Thus, the research question is what are the teachers’ perception of the school principal’s
leadership qualities?

11
4.0 THE PROFILE OF RESPONDENTS

Respondent 1

Respondent 1 is Bahasa Melayu’s teacher for standard 4, 5 and 6. She is teaching in this school
for almost 6 years with 2 different principals. Other than she is the homeroom teacher for
standard 6, she is also a “Ketua Panitia” for subject Bahasa Melayu. She was graduate from
Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris in year 2014 with majoring in Bahasa Melayu. Before she was
placed in this school, she was doing practical training in different schools and of course with
different principle.

Respondent 2

Respondent 2 is Mathematics teacher for standard 1, 3 and 5. He is teaching Mathematics for

almost 9 years with 3 different principals. He is also a head of disciplinary teacher and
homeroom teacher for standard 3. He is a graduate from Universiti Malaysia Sabah majoring in
Science and Mathematics. Like respondent 1, he was also doing practical training in different
schools. Thus, he had many experiences working under different principal.

5.0 QUALITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS

This study examined the relationship between school leadership as perceived by teachers, student
achievement, and the demographics of teacher gender, years of experience in education, and
years’ experience at their current school. To collect data, an interview was conducted to the two
respondents about their perception of the school principal’s leadership qualities. There are
several questions that need to be answered by the respondents which focused on their experience
with different principles.

From the interview, we know that to make education more efficient and useful, it is important to
have good educational leadership. Educational leadership can help show what the most important
qualities, tasks, and responsibilities of good leaders are. The school principal, who is one of the

12
most important parts of any educational institution's success, can help students reach their goals
by managing school culture well. As a cultural leader, the school principal creates a sense of
sharing among both students and teachers. He or she also tries out different ways of
communicating to make tasks easier and make the most of intraorganizational communication
tools. Symbols, norms, and beliefs that come from a culture make people feel like they belong at
the school and can be a source of motivation for employees. The school principal, who has legal
power in the school and is seen as the most important person for the success of all school
programmes, can manage well through culture. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Transformational leadership means that the school principal should have strong relationships
with both teachers and students. This is important to achieve the vision created around these
strong relationships and to change the organisation. Transformational leader brings the change
and transformation he imagined in his mind into the real world. He is the one who changes not
only the environment and the institution, but also the people who work there and how they think.
They use idealised forms of influence, motivation, and intellectual stimulation to make this
change. It has also been found that social knowledge and skills, as well as the ability to be aware
of other people, are important predictors of transformational leadership. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Respondent 1 shared her experience with the first principal she worked with during her practical
training. The principal is a female principal and has experience in teaching for almost 15 years.
The principal was very concern with the teachers and students. Every week, she gathered all the
teachers and treat them food and beverages while discussing any issues arise during the week.
And no doubt that school performance always on top of other schools. Because all the teachers
felt motivated and happy, thus they delivered the positivity to the students and the positive
impact on the student performance.

Meanwhile, she also encountered a principal that only head of schools but not the leader. The
principal which also a female with experience of 10 years, always give instruction for the
teachers to achieve the standards, key performance index (KPI) and “force” teachers to do the
best without even consult every teacher and find out if there is any issue. Even though the
students can achieve excellent performance, but there are so many teachers applied for transfer to
other schools because of mental health and stress. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

13
On the other hand, respondent 2 also shared his experience with male principals with minimum
experience in teaching which is 7 years. He was still young on that time and lack of experience.
He was following almost all theories about leadership where most of it is not relevance to the
practical. Thus, the school does not achieve expected performance. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

6.0 FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION

According to the data collected from both respondents, we know that both academic and public
discourse place an emphasis on how important good principals are to the overall success of their
students. The desire for accountability has led to a rise in the expectations that educators and
school principals will improve the learning of students and the performance of those students.
Also, principals are accountable to themselves for the teaching, learning, and performance of
their students. According to Hoy and Smith (2007), the leadership style of the school principal is
connected to the level of student achievement and the degree to which learning is improved.

Hardman (2011) also found analogous outcomes. Her study looked at how educators rated the
transformational, transactional, and passive avoidant leadership styles of school principals in
relation to student progress. To her surprise, she discovered that all three leadership styles (as
rated by the school's faculty) were substantial predictors of student success. In particular,
transformational and passive-avoidant leadership styles were positively associated with student
progress, whereas transactional leadership was negatively associated.

Transformative leaders inspire their people to think outside the box. In other words, they
encourage educators to "be creative." Leaders' encouragement of original thought and the
provision of professional development opportunities for educators both have a positive impact on
student achievement. Thus, we can conclude that principles play important role to the academic
performance of the schools. Their leadership qualities is the most crucial criterion for excellent
teachers and students.
