Item Administrators’ perceptions of administrative issues or factors which are significant to developing a literacy program for all students of School X(2012-07-03) Edwards-Senhouse, MaxineItem Changing “I Can’t” to “I Can”: Fostering “Growth Mindsets” to Improve Resiliency and Academic Performance at an All-Girl, Urban Secondary School in East Trinidad(2017) Mohammed-Khan, RabiaThis study investigated “growth mindsets” among students at an all-girls secondary school in Trinidad and Tobago. The participants in the study were 111 students from Forms 1-3, 97 parents, 17 teachers, 3 heads of department, the vice principal and one dean at the school under study. Data were collected through interviews with three students, three parents, and three teachers. Other data were obtained through the administration of questionnaires after the employment of a psychological intervention. The findings revealed that among the students, there was a change from fixed mindsets to growth mindsets. The teachers reported a difference in the learning attitude and behaviour of the students whom they noted were more willing to ask for help, were more motivated to learn a different topic, showed greater initiative in preparation for class and projects, and were more willing to persist with difficult work.Item Inclusion at an Urban Government Primary School in Trinidad and Tobago(2015-03-10) Charles, Arlene Nadine NicoleItem An investigation into stakeholders' perceptions of academic school support for footballers at Signor High School(2012-04-04) Thatcher, JohnItem An investigation into the new Administrative Cluster System in early childhood care and education centres in Trinidad: The concerns of three administrators(2013-01-14) Glasgow-Charles, KimberlyItem Perspectives of the Primary School Curriculum Rewrite (PCR) Implementation in One Primary School(2017) Beepot, Ritesh LyndellThis study investigated teachers’ and administrators’ perceptions about the implementation of the new primary school curriculum at a school in central Trinidad. Data were collected through interviews with five participants (two administrators and three teachers) and document analysis. The findings revealed that while the PCR was viewed as a novel attempt to modernize the education system, its effectiveness was being impacted by issues of: 1) allocation of time and resources, (2) the physical infrastructure of the school, 3) its inadequacy for implementation, and 4) the heavy workload that attended the implementation process.Item The Role of the Safety Officer in Assisting with Discipline at Dakota Secondary School(2017) Ramsaroop, SusanThis study examined the perceptions of key stakeholders about the role of the safety officer at a secondary school in Trinidad and Tobago. Data were collected through interviews with 16 participants comprising the principal, the safety officer, one dean, five teachers, and eight students. Other data were obtained through observations and document analysis. The findings revealed that the safety officer was not performing fully in his intended roles and the stakeholders were not aware of his role in its entirety. It was found that his performance was adversely impacted by: 1) uncertainty about the renewal of his contract, 2) the expanse of the school premises, 3) the large school population, and 4) his being the sole officer responsible for the school’s safety.Item A study of teachers’ and administrators’ perceptions about the implementation of school based management(2013-01-14) Dookhoo, WendyItem Teachers’ and the Administrator’s Experiences of the Implementation of the Innovation of Single-Sex Classrooms in a Co-educational Private Primary School(2017) Teemul, ShobaThis study investigated two teachers’ and one administrator’s experiences of the implementation single-sex classrooms in a co-educational private primary school in Trinidad and Tobago, which sought to address boys’ under-achievement. Data were collected through interviews and document analysis. The results showed that: 1) there was a positive attitude towards the innovation, 2) both groups (boys and girls) exhibited increased confidence and greater cohesion as a result of having their own learning space, and 3) the boys had a significant number of disciplinary issues in comparison to the girls. It was also found that, paradoxically, the achievement gap between the sexes remained unchanged. Additionally, there was an adjustment in the teaching styles of both teachers in the single-sex class, but they expressed a need for training for successful implementation.Item Towards a More Holistic Approach to Managing Student Behaviour and Discipline in a Suburban Secondary School(2017) Dass, Lystra ShamelaThis mixed-methods study elicited stakeholders’ views regarding student behaviour and discipline at a secondary school in Trinidad and Tobago. Data were collected through interviews, audio-visual analysis, and questionnaires. The study produced thematic concerns regarding: 1) problem solving, 2) consensus, 3) effective communication, 4) engagement, and 5) adaption.
