摘要：Bu araştırma, okul müdürlerinin itibarı üzerinde etkili olan değerleri saptayabilmek ve ulaşılan bulgular ışığında öneriler geliştirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma, 2008?2009 eğitim öğretim yılında Kütahya merkez ilköğretim okullarında görevli okul müdürleri üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada, nitel araştırma tekniklerinden yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği kullanılmış olup, çalışma süresince sınırlı sayıda kişi üzerinde ve zengin bilgiye sahip olduğu düşünülen durumların derinlemesine incelenebilmesi için amaçlı örnekleme yolu izlenmiştir. Veriler, ilköğretim okullarında görev yapan on dokuz okul müdürleriyle yüz yüze görüşmeler yoluyla ve 30 işgünü içerisinde toplanmıştır. Toplanan veriler betimsel ve içerik analiz yöntemine göre analiz edilmiştir. Verilerinin çözümlenmesi sürecinde, katılımcıların verdikleri yanıtlar araştırma amaçlarına göre kodlanmış daha sonra cevaplarının hangi sıklıkla tekrar ettiği (frekansı) bulunmuştur. Böylece, nitel veriler nicelleştirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, okul yöneticisinin itibarı üzerinde etkili olan değerlerin; adil olmak, ilkeli ve kararlı olmak, eylemlerinde ve söylemlerinde tutarlı olmak, güvenilir olmak, sabırlı olmak ve dürüstlük olduğu saptanmıştır.
其他摘要：The main objective of this research is to determine the values effective on the creditability of school principals and to put forward some suggestions on the strength of findings. In the light of this aim, the perceptions of primary school principals about the creditability of school principals were analysed and suggestions were developed on the strength of findings. The research was conducted on the primary school principals in the city centre of Kü- tahya. 32 noble principals and 18 substitute principals, totalling 50 principals in 50 primary schools, were working in the city centre of Kütahya during 2008–2009 education period. The study group of the research was composed of 19 of them who accepted to be interviewed face to face. Semi-structured interview of qualitative techniques was used in the research. This technique is neither as rigid as full-structured interviews nor as flexible as structured interviews. Therefore, semi-structured interview, being a halfway between the two extremes, provides the researcher with the necessary flexibility and convenience. In order to determine the perceptions of the participants about school administration and the values that make school administrators creditable, four interview questions were formed by the researcher. In order to find answers to those questions, 19 primary school teachers working in the city centre of Kütahya were interviewed face to face. These interviews took place separately with each participant at such a time and place that were determined by each participant and were recorded to be analysed later on the consent of each participant. During data analysis, the answers were coded according to the objectives of the research and their frequency was found. Thus, qualitative data turned into quantitative ones. In this context, the perceptions of the participants about the values effective on the creditability of school principals were analysed and then their suggestions to reinforce the credibility of school administrators were put forward. During the interviews, primary school principals were asked four questions: “what does a school principal is creditable mean?”, “what are the values that make a school principal creditable?”, “What is the relation between a principal’s quality and his school’s credibility?” and “what precautions can be taken to raise this credibility?” The main objective in qualitative researches is not to reach generalisable results through numbers but to present and factual and descriptive picture of the subject. In this research, the opinions of the principals were presented as they were and no generalization was done over the findings. It was determined that the participants generally answered the questions in the scope of attitudes and behaviours of administrators in the institution. The fact that the participants answered the question “what does a school principal is creditable mean?” as the principal’s being fair, impartial, tolerant and friendly towards the staff, his being consistent in his actions and words and his being dependable shows that there is a close relation between an administrator’s credibility and his acting in accordance with professional ethical codes. Also, the answers to “what are the values that make a school principal creditable?” are as follows: commitment to justice and equality, being honest and dependable, being able to establish effective interaction, being patient and being principled and adamant. The answers to “What is the effect of a principal’s credibility on his school’s credibility?” concentrated over the articles “it raises the school’s reputation, it protects the school from external threats, and it strengthens the school socially and culturally and makes the school preferable”. The primary school principals made the following suggestions for the reinforcement of school administrators’ creditability: school administrators should be fair to the staff, be tolerant and respectful to them and involve them into decision making processes. As a result of the research, it was determined that the values effective on school administrators’ creditability are being fair, principled, adamant, consistent in actions and words, dependable, patient and honest.
