Analysing Educational Management: A Comprehensive Statistical Examination of School Practices

Abstract

The managerial aspects of education are the backbone on which an entire educational system rests. They are the glue that holds many aspects of education together. Our article aims for objectivity and above all adds value to the acquisition of knowledge in the field of educational institution management through a quantitative methodology, based on a non-experimental correlational study. A sample of 96 principals from qualifying secondary schools (high school) in the Casablanca-Settat region of Morocco were surveyed, and were asked to complete a questionnaire. The results were processed using IBM SPSS Statistics 29 software. The results showed that the managerial aspect of school climate correlated significantly with the aspect of pedagogical innovation (23.3%), as well as with the aspect of adaptation to change (23.1%). In addition, there was a significant correlation between pedagogical innovation and ongoing training (30%), as well as with adaptation to change (36%). Continuing education, for its part, was 21% significant in relation to adaptation to change. These results make a valuable contribution to our understanding of school management, and underline the need to pay particular attention to these aspects in order to promote educational excellence.
