Description
The problem of this study was threefold: (1) To explore the
availability of instruments that will increase student awarenesses on
interpersonal and intrapersonal behavior. (2) To design or modify an
instrument to be used as part of an awareness model in educational
leadership training. (3) To survey awareness changes in a sample of
the student population when the model is used in educational leadership
training.
A pilot study was conducted on a group of students enrolled in
a Middle School Leadership Sequence during the summer of 1973. This
initial effort resulted in several training instruments, among them the
Personnel Relations Survey, that were effective in the area of behavioral
awareness. Of the instruments used in the pilot study, The Personnel
Relations Survey was selected and modified for use in educational leadership
training. Since the survey was designed to be used originally by
manager trainees in an industrial setting, the nonsignificant modification was, for the most part, the substitution of educational personnel
for employees, managers, and supervisors. The survey instrument which
was a part of the model was used with a sample of students in an experimental
and a control group to measure the dependent variables of exposure
and feedback in relationships with teachers, principals, and superintendents.
The participant was provided with a graphic analysis of his interaction
and awareness by using the Johari Window that was a part of the
model. Results were treated statistically with multivariate analysis of
variance.
Of the three hypotheses treated, there was insufficient evidence
to reject the two following:
1. There is no significant difference between the experimental
and control treatment effect when one is considering the
dependent measures of exposure and feedback relevant to
feelings.
2. There is no significant difference among the interaction
effect of treatment with personnel when one is con~idering
the dependent measures of exposure and feedback relative
to feelings.
No significant difference was noted in the treatment main effect
when comparing the performance of the experimental and control groups on
the dependent measures. The interaction effect of treatment, personnel,
and treatment with personnel was nonsignificant.
was:
One hypothesis that was rejected at the .05 level of significance
There is no significant difference between the personnel
relationships main effect when one is considering the
dependent measures of exposure and feedback relevant to
feelings.
A significant difference in the main effect of personnel was
investigated with a multiple comparison test and the results showed that relationships with superintendents were significantly different from the
relationships with the two other groups of educational personnel when
considering the dependent measure of exposure.
The model was not designed to produce change but to produce an
awareness of one's interaction style and more desirable styles to which
the participant could change if he so desired. Recommendations were
made for more effective use of awareness training in educational leadership.
