摘要：The objective of the present study was to determine whether teacher collaboration
is a mediator of the strategic leadership and teaching quality in schools. This study
involved 300 teachers in the high prestige secondary schools in Kelantan,
Malaysia, whereby a cross-sectional survey approach using a standard
questionnaire was used. The strategic leadership instrument used has been adapted
from Hairuddin Ali (2012), while the collaborative instrument has been adapted
from Barkema and Moran (2013). In addition, to measure the teaching quality
among teachers, the researcher adapted the questionnaire that has been developed
by Shahril Marzuki (2005). The findings from multiple regression analysis show
that teacher collaboration is a mediator of strategic leadership and teaching quality
(B=0.14, p<.05). It was recommended among others that the school leaders should
continue to strengthen collaborative practices among teachers as an effort to
improve teaching quality in their respective schools which in turn will help to
improve school excellence, especially across the current era of globalization.
