    The performance of secondary school heads as instructional leaders: a case study of six secondary schools in Zimbabwe
    (University of Fort Hare, 2012) Mutopa, Sevious
    The main objective of the study was to establish the extent to which secondary school heads in Hurungwe Education District in Zimbabwe were performing their duties as instructional leaders. The study was triggered by the fact that concern had been raised by parents and other stake holders that heads contributed towards the decline of ‘O’ level results in the district. Pointers were that heads were not performing instructional leadership roles properly, hence the poor performance in the district. It was therefore in view of the above, that this study sought to find out how heads performed instructional leadership roles. The study was located in the interpretive paradigm and hence followed the qualitative approach and case study design. Purposive sampling technique was followed to identify participant, namely; 12 teachers, 6 heads and 2 education officers from the District Office.
