| dc.description.abstract | The general objective of this study was to assess an investigation of the practice and challenges of school cluster resource center management in the primary schools of Gobu Seyo Woreda, East Wollega Zone, Oromia National Regional State, Ethiopia. To meet the intended objective, the study employed descriptive survey design. The target population for the study comprised all 28 primary schools in Gobu Seyo Woreda. To select samples from the Woreda, multi-stage sampling was used. First, by using cluster sampling, all primary schools were grouped into four and cluster school centers. Secondly, from this four cluster school centers, eight primary schools (four primary satellite schools were selected using simple random sampling techniques and four cluster schools were selected purposively). In the selected sample of eight primary schools and cluster school centers, 175 teachers were taken using simple random sampling technique. Also 16 school principals and vice principals and 4 school supervisors’ participants were selected by purposive sampling. Moreover, two Woreda supervision experts were selected using availability sampling technique. Data for the study were collected using questionnaires and interview. Descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the data collected through questionnaires. The result of the study indicated that the status of cluster resource centers in practicing appropriate activities for the implementation of school cluster model were doubtful. The result shows that, the respondents were rated all items with the grand mean value 2.77 and standard deviation 0.11.The overall mean response of teachers and school principals revealed that the extent to which the major managerial functions are being practiced in managing the cluster resource centers was very poor. Finally, the result the study disclosed that lack of adequate training, lack of experience to manage and mobilize the school community, lack of availability of educational resource, rules, regulations and policies problems; untimely teacher transfer and numerous reporting requirements were the major factors that affect the school cluster resource center management system. Thus, lack of financial and material support, unwise interference of higher officials in the functions of school leaders function and principals‟ heavy work load are the major impediments that hinder the school leaders to contribute to the teachers’ effectiveness. Therefore, the study recommended that CRC coordinator/supervisor should build the capacity of school principals and teachers to be successful in what they are attempting to do by providing them with training, support and resources that lead to their success. | en_US |
