1. INTRODUCATION
1.1. INTRODUCTION
Leadership is the process of action and operation, creativity and emotion of mind body, and
soul. leadership is the one who inspires for the fulfilment of the mind body’ nature and the
activities of the environment to a particular purpose in teaching, research, administration,
business, career, and life. He works for the(self/others) foundation of the mind body, natures
relationship, attachment separation and action. In this post you will learn what is leadership.
How leadership works. How to develop leadership skills. How we do it and our understanding
of it and how we teach leadership. there are already many definitions and explanation on
leadership. Teachers are hardly paid to exercise leadership. They are never paid enough.
Teachers’ leaders commonly report feeling trapped in the ‘’middle space’’ A. Lieberman & L.
Miller (2004) between the teachers whom they attempt to influence and represent and the
administrators who count on them to do work that they are, for various reason, unable to do
themselves-while being trusted fully by neither.

Teachers’ leadership may be especially challenging today. When so many of the urgent
‘’reforms’’ being visited upon college come with mandates that do not emphasize or reward-or
sometime, even tolerates-teachers exercise of initiative and autonomy, let alone leadership. The
editors of the most recent Occasional paper remark: Teachers’ leadership has to most proponent
of progressive, democratic education, an appealing historical ring to it. It defies, in some
measures the notion of college as hierarchies. It implies that everyone who works within
college organization has some responsibility for the welfare of the community as a whole.it
suggest a commitment to change for the better; progress in the interest of more roundly
educated students; and ultimately, a better society. There is a newer wave of instructional and
learning and support specialist and coaches and coordinators-and even specifically title
‘teachers’ leaders. But of even greater significance for our purpose here are the unofficial-and
often unacknowledged-acts of teaches who supported extend each other’s practice in a million
quite way; who press for the greater care of English language learners or dyslexic or bullied or
simply invisible students; or who advocate on committee or in principals’ offices or in the
hallways for fair treatment of their colleagues or overdue instructional reforms. They are very
good evergreen. Effective Leadership is widely accepted as being a key constituent in achieving
college improvement. The evidence from the international literature demonstrates that effective
leaders exercise an indirect but powerful influence on the effectiveness of the college an on the
achievement of students (leithwood et al, 1999). Whilst the quality of teaching strongly
influences levels of pupil motivation an achievement, it has been consistently argued that the
quality of leadership matters in determining the motivations of the teacher the quality of
teaching in the classroom (Fullan 2001; Segiovanni,2001). A preliminary glance at the
leadership research literature however reveals that it is largely premised upon individual
impetus rather than collective action an offers singular views of leadership predominantly
bound up with headship.

understanding of ethics, diversity, equity, and inclusion within educational systems. From a
7
teacher leadership curriculum to clear-cut career paths, a master’s degree in Education
promotes inclusive learning for all.

1.5. LEADERSHIP STYLES


Leadership styles refer to the behavioural approach employed by leaders to influence, motivate,
and direct their followers. A leadership style determines how leaders implement plans and
strategies to accomplish given objectives while accounting for stakeholder expectations and
the wellbeing and soundness of their team. Leadership styles have been studied in various for
a to establish the appropriate or most effective leadership style that motivates and influences
others to accomplish set goals. The major tenet of effective leadership style is the degree to
which it builds follower trust.

Studies carried out indicate that followers who trust in their leader are more likely to follow
through with the leader’s instructions over and above the expected. In turn, they will
accomplish set goals while being allowed to speak freely to air their ideas and suggestions on
the direction of the projects at hand.

Common Leadership Styles:

1. Democratic Leadership

A democratic leadership style is where a leader makes decisions based on the


input received from team members. It is a collaborative and consultative
leadership style where each team member has an opportunity to contribute to the
direction of ongoing projects. However, the leader holds the final responsibility to
make the decision. Democratic leadership is one of the most popular and
effective leadership styles because of its ability to provide lower-level employees
a voice making it equally important in the organization. It is a style that resembles
how decisions are made in company boardrooms. Democratic leadership can
culminate in a vote to make decisions.

Democratic leadership also involves delegation of authority to other people who


determine work assignments. It utilizes the skills and experiences of team
members in carrying out tasks. The democratic leadership style encourages
creativity and engagement of team members, which often leads to high job
satisfaction and high productivity. However, establishing a consensus among
team members can be time- consuming and costly, especially in cases where
decisions need to be made swiftly.

i. Autocratic Leadership
ii. Laissez-Faire Leadership
iii. Transformational Leadership
iv. Transactional Leadership
v. Bureaucratic Leadership
vi. Servant Leadership

8
2. Other Leadership Styles

Coach-Style Leadership. Coach-style leadership involves identifying and


nurturing individual strengths and formulating strategies for the team to blend and
work well together, cohesively, and successfully.

Charismatic Leadership. Charismatic leadership employs charisma to motivate


and inspire followers. Leaders use eloquent communication skills to unite a team
towards a shared vision. However, due to the charismatic leaders’ overwhelming
disposition, they can see themselves as bigger than the team and lose track of the
important tasks.

vision. However, due to the charismatic leaders’ overwhelming disposition, they
can see themselves as bigger than the team and lose track of the important tasks.

3. Strategic Leadership

Strategic leadership leads the company’s main operations and coordinates its
growth opportunities. The leader can support multiple employee layers at the
same time. No one leadership style fits all organizations or situations. In addition,
there is no one right way to lead, and there may be a need to switch between
different leadership styles. It is therefore important to know all leadership styles
and their pros and cons. The right leadership approach is often determined by the
following factors:

✓ The type of organization, i.e., mature, or growth-oriented


✓ The type of work involved, i.e., routine, or creative
✓ The level of experience and skills of the team
✓ The personality of the leader

A consideration of the above factors will likely determine the appropriate


leadership style to adopt or an appropriate combination of certain leadership
styles.

1.6. RATIONAL OF STUDY


It is a great challenge of the today current orthodoxy of school organization to be seeks and
extend the current cessation debate about the distributed leadership. It offers a view of teachers’
leadership which is inclusive rather than limited to those with responsibility for specific change
agent roles. It focuses on learning-centred development work in which teachers act strategically

9
to improve the quality of teaching and learning. Successful management requires more than
just assigning tasks to the team. It calls for a leader who can inspire team members to achieve
their full potential. People want to be guided by a person they respect, someone who has clearly
sense of the direction. To be a that person, there are certain things have must be known and do.
And that’s what developing leadership skills is all about. It could be a real eye opener, and the
key to making changes to your leadership style. Take complete responsibility for how you are
heard. Always rephrase your message to make it sound positive. Effective communication is a
fine art. Integral part of developing leadership skills is to learn to respect your team’s
capabilities. You become a better leader by involving more people in the leadership process.
Wenner & Campbell (2017) studied on teacher leadership and their impact; Cooper and Kristy
(2016) studied on teacher leadership as a reform strategy for authentic instruction
improvement; Al-Zboon(2016) studied on leadership and professional learning community of
institution: Berg & Zoellick (2019) studied on change teacher leadership development
planning; Coggins & McGovern (2014) studied on teacher leadership interest instructional
management of five goals of Teachers Leadership; Ovando &Martha (1994) have conducted a
study on effect of teacher leadership on teaching practice and satisfaction with dual roles; Anna
& Malin (2017) studied on achieving educational goals of teacher leadership and students self-
efficacy on students educational motivation; Jon Eckert (2016) studied on educational path-
finding new teacher leadership roles; Cynthia L. Carver (2016) studied on academy leadership

(2009) studied to help teacher and administrators work together to foster and develop teacher
leadership; Ashely Watson (2014) Leadership Dimensions, Leadership Styles, School Climate,
Teacher Leaders, Techer Leadership, Transformational Leadership Theory, are to examine
impact of school developing and

under-develop countries and the teaching style of government & private. Education in today’s
world should not focus on acquiring high scores or degrees. It is also about being able to apply
acquired knowledge, abilities, and skills in solving problems of a real world. In this regard
development of leadership skills such as integration of team building, interpersonal
communication skill, motivational skill and managerial skill should be the primary concern.

Many researchers have conducted study on leadership skills among the teachers and teacher
educators, but very rare study has been conducted in Arunachal Pradesh in general and Papum
pare, district in particular. Taking this aspect into cognizance, here the researcher has proposed

2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
2.1. INTRODUCTION
The Review of Related literature plays a major role in every research as it helps in providing
valuable evidence and authentic proof of research work. Teacher Leadership describes how a
group of teachers have developed a definition of teacher’s leadership as a stance. The article
explores how prior definition of teacher leadership tends to focus on individual skills or roles.
Neoliberal educational policies that emphasize market base policy, privatization, individual
effort and benefit, and efficiency have contributed these task-oriented definition of teacher
leaderships. The teacher leaders who participate in this project resist this framing and explores
teacher leadership as a stance that values professionalism and the intellectual, political, and
collaborative work of teaching. Teacher development does not stop when a degree is earned-
at that point, it has barely taken fight, Real teacher growth happens when meaningful time and
safe and authentic space are given to discussing and refining practice under the pedagogically
and contextually experience mentor. Here, one teacher leader recount her purposeful transition
from the classroom to a nearly fulltime mentoring role at an urban charter high school. Though
a review of, and reflection on, field notes from these first few years of mentoring, she shed
light on the challenges and victories of not just those she mentored but of learning to push for
a more practical and personal vision of teaching and learning. A review of related literature
gives the students an understanding of the research methodology, which show the path of
conducting the study. It helps us to know about the tools and instruments, which proved to be
useful and promising in the completion present study. The review of related literature helps
students in a every part of research field, and it is essential to emphasize the review for their
convenient and successful research.

2.2. PURPOSES OF REVIEW OF LITERATURE


The purpose of a review literature is to gain an understanding of the existing research debate
relevant to a particular topic or area of study, and to present that knowledge in the form of a
written report. Conducting a literature review help us to build our knowledge in our field, we
will learn about important concepts research methods, and experimental techniques that are
used in our field. We will also gain insight into how researchers apply the concept we were
learning in our unit to real world problems.
Another great benefit of literature review is that as we read, we will get a better understanding
of how research findings are represented and discussed in our particular discipline. If we pay
attention to what we read and try to achieve a similar style, we will become more successful at
writing for our discipline.
Studies Conducted Abroad and in India on Leadership Skills Among the Teacher
Educators of Papum Pare District of Arunachal Pradesh.

M.A Smylie & J.W Denny (1990) examined the finding of an exploratory study of teacher
leadership roles in a metropolitan K-8 districts. They suggested that the development and
performance of these roles are mediated by the organizational context in which these were
established. They suggested teacher leadership should be approached as an issue of
organizational development rather than solely as an issue of individual empowerment.
Ash,et al.(1991) examined and founded that forms of teacher leadership clearly exist in a large
number of schools in the UK, until recently they have not been the focus or the sources of a
great deal of research activity. The current spotlight on distributed leadership and collective
approaches to school improvement, seen for example in the national college for school
leadership (NCSL) ‘Networked learning communities’ program, has promoted research interest
teacher as leaders.
P.R Leblanc & M.M Shelton (1997) examined teacher leader aspect and their roles. To expand
more teacher leader views, using the constant comparative research methodology, the
researchers collected interview data from teacher leaders. The most important result was that
teacher leaders’ simultaneous needs for achievement and affiliation create a conflict in the
schoolwork place that has negative outcomes. They suggested specific area for further research
that will provide additional information for enhancing the development of teacher leadership.
Bishop et al. (1997).examined and redefine, leadership were rooted in notions of distribution
and in the acknowledgement that leadership permeates organization rather than residing in
particular roles or responsibility.
M. Coyle (1997) studied on major contact with the classroom teacher and student consist of
processing cut slip. If class size increase, if student have varying learning styles and critical
emotional or academic needs, if there are insufficient or outdated texts administrator have little
hand on connection with that reality.
Jex and Bliese (1999) revealed in their study that although prior result research shows that
self-efficacy generally parallels the quality of teachers’ leadership, to date, there has been no
conclusive empirical evidence supporting the interactive effect of teachers’ leadership with
self-efficacy on students’ educational motivations.
Snell and Swanson (2000) undertook the last and possibly the most significant dimensions of
the teacher leadership role, was focusing on close relationship with individual teachers through
mutual learning.
Sansone and Harackiewicz (2000) studied on student who do their homework because it is
fun and interesting are a good example of students who are driven by educational motivation.

14
Extrinsic factors are more controlling than intrinsic factor and are constituted by support, help
and encouragement from among other teachers.
Ryan and Deci (2000) identified the previous research has shown that, for many students,
educational motivation declines after their transition to secondary education. The results show
students self-efficacy and teacher leadership are of extreme importance for student’s
educational motivations, and the highly efficacious students lose most educational motivation
when the teacher’s leadership is poor.
K. Meyer and Moller (2001) examined on teacher leaders and founded that ‘teachers who are
leaders lead within and beyond the classroom, identify with and contribute to a community
teacher learners and leaders, and influences other towards improve educational practice’.
L. Limber (2003) examined teacher leadership has been shackled by archaic definition of
leadership and timeworn assumptions about who can lead. Such ideas have situated leadership
in the hand of a few formal leaders. Teachers have not seen themselves reflected in these
prevailing notions or invite into the process. In this research discussed that a new definition of
constructivist leadership and accompanying assumptions opens the way for teachers to consider
themselves as leaders.
Johnson & Donaldson (2004) examined and have suggested that teachers may want to remain
in schools, yet they want new and different challenges as their career progress; a stagnant career
trajectory may cause teachers to consider leaving the profession altogether. Although many
teachers with this desire opt to become administrator, there are several teachers who wish to
continue working in the classroom.
Donaldson et at.,(2005) studied and explored on call for accountability has grown given
evolution of teacher leaders who were viewed and utilized within schools during these two
decades.
D. Muijs & A. Harris (2006) studied their explored that teacher leadership is increasingly
being seen as a key vehicle for school betterment and development. Although study on this
phenomenon has certain limitations, especially outside of the US. In this research they try to
be finding from an empirical study of teacher leadership in the UK, aimed at exploring both
the way in which teacher leadership can influence school and teacher development, and what
in school factor can help or hinder the development of teacher leadership in school.
A. Harris (2007) stated that teacher leadership within the context of contemporary leadership
theory, focusing particularly upon distributed leadership. The article explores different
interpretations and the definition of the term teacher leadership and consider the implication
for professional practice in day-to-day life in institute curriculum.
15
Spillane & Diamond (2007) their study of concept was key to our working definition of
teacher leaders, it empowers all teachers, but implies that teacher leaders somehow go above
and beyond their typical duties. This working definition also allows us to view school as
complex systems that are comprise of “large number of agents in highly connected webs”.
T. Fitzgerald & H.M Gunter (2008) discovered this their study they are strongly aware that
the term teacher leadership’ has crept into educational vocabulary and there has not been
sustained and robust debate either about the term of its use and misuse in schools.
Ball & Forzani (2009) analyzed in their research moreover even less attention has been laid
to teacher leadership training in present teacher curricula. One way to make more strong teacher
leadership training in teacher preparation programs is to add a course in teacher leadership.
R. Lavanya (2009) studied to re-make the changing roles of teachers, into teacher leadership
in the emerging Indian scenario. It presents teacher leadership model-CID- CONNECT,
INFLUENCE, and DEVELOP that can be applied, at various institutes.
D.E. Roby (2009) examined those involved in the study were teachers pursuing graduate
degrees in teachers’ leadership. School administrator acknowledging the talent and gift of
teaching faculty, and their potential positive influence in the school will gain insight on one
very important teacher leadership skill-communication.
J. Thornton (2010) conducted a study on teacher enroll in graduate programs that included a
focus on H action research and teacher leadership designed and implemented studies within
their home schools. During his study he used action research project to examine teacher
leadership in 44 middle level schools in 13 countries. All were rural or small community
schools, identifying themselves as middle school or middle schools within a k-8 setting
V.R. Helterban (2010) conducted a study and founded that considers the teacher have always
been leaders, but there is little evidence that a focused, collaborative movement exist in public
schools designed to promote and support widespread teacher leadership in the profession. we
know that sustained, effective school leadership strengthens the student’s achievement
especially when coupled with a supportive school climate that encourage collaboration and
risk-taking.
P.S Angelle & C.A Dehart (2011) studied that multisite quantitative study examined the
relationship between teacher perception of the extend of teacher leadership in a school and the
grade level, degree level, and leadership status of the respondents. Attention to this outcome
will allow school district to better align leadership training with the needs of specific teachers
and support principals in school improvement.

16
L.L Warren (2021) revealed that teacher leaders possess excellent class management skills
and are most capable driving students towards academic success. The purpose of his study was
to explore in dept the entire concept of teacher leadership in the classroom and its relationship
to student performance and achievements. Students taught by teacher leaders have a high
probability of succeeding academically as well as other areas of growth as compared to those
taught under teacher who lack leadership within and outside the classroom.
Draycot & Rae (2011) examined on developing teachers learning in the context
entrepreneurial education. However, there are few studies which explicitly focus on
entrepreneurial leadership in schools. As the concept is written in several countries’ policy
documents, a relevant question is whether, and in what ways, entrepreneurial educational
demands may effect’s teachers’ leadership skills.
E. De. Villiers & SG. Pretorius (2011) studied and founded that main focus and goal was to
determine educators’ perceptions of and readiness for teacher leadership. A total of 283
educators in the Eden and central karoo education district in the western cape participated in
the study. The participants included district officials, principals, and members of school
management teams, as well as veteran, middle and novice educator.
G. Patmor (2012) examined the teacher leadership is about encouraging and enhancement of
teacher for their valuable output and to take a more active role in school improvement. Current
pathway to teacher leadership, namely the teacher leader master’s degree program and teacher
leader professional development, mainly target in service teachers.
J.C Fairman & S.V Mackenzie (2012) examined the conceptual model and rich narratives
that describes the context in which teacher leadership emerges and the many ways that
leadership is enacted. Teacher where leading through their strong commitment to continued
learning, and by modeling a willingness to take risk, to collaborate and question existing
practices. Teacher often began with a focus on their learning and classroom teaching and later
moved into other leadership spheres where they collaborate with and influenced colleagues and
other stakeholders on a wider scale.
N. Ghamrawi (2013) studied that he mainly concentrated on professional development model,
the professional development model enhances a constructivist approach whereby teachers train
colleagues teachers, and some high schools students provide ushering service during
professional development events.
Marimuthu & Mukherjee(2014) on this study outbound training is in the center stage in the
periphery of management domain. It is indeed in area of opportunity to encourage more
reciprocate approaches over other methods of conventional training
17
M.N Cosenza (2015) studied on the common definition for teacher leadership, the concept is
continually advanced as key component for both the success of school and professionalization
for teachers. The development of teacher leadership is increasingly viewed as an important
factor in improving schools, improving student achievement, and training teachers for long
term.
Shila & Sevilla (2015) examined the attention toward the effective leadership, that would
which organization will find it struggle too alive. To be effective, leaders not only require
technical skills but also people skills that can motivate the followers with understanding,
sensitively and produce.
Bhumika & Aakanksha (2016) examined in their research that the general consensus that
children’s experiences in school have a substantial bearing on various psychological outcomes
in their lives. Although most research was on implication on social experiences and explore in
school on their academic performance, there is relatively little empirical evidence that connect
these with non-academic consequences.
J. Jacobs, S.P Gordon & R. Solis (2016) they study on qualitative study, in this study they
found the study consisted of a survey of 177 teacher leaders across eight state representing all
region of the country. They conducted interview with 20 of the survey respondents to
supplement survey data. Finding point to the complex nature of the roles and activities of
teacher leaders. The data have implication for teacher leadership preparation and the ongoing
teacher leaders will need to actualize their roles within schools.
J.A Wenner & Campbell (2017) on this research they examine teacher leadership research
completed since York-Barr and Duke published the seminal review on teacher leadership. The
research was undertaken to examine how teacher leadership is defined, how teachers’ leaders
are prepared, their impact, and those factors that facilitate or inhibit teacher leaders’ work.
J. Hunzicker (2017) examined the actual conceptions of teacher leadership are trending away
from formal titles and positions to embrace a more informal, integrated approach. Moreover,
there is growing agreement among scholars that teacher leadership is a stance, or way of
thinking and being rather than a set of behaviors. As a result, understanding how teacher
progress from teacher-to-teacher leader remains unclear.
Malmstrom and Oqvist (2017) identified that educational motivation also provide insight into
why individuals persist and commit to task provide prediction for students’ performance.
Motivation is thus an important factor for the entire learning process.
Arnab (2018) acknowledged his study that educational technology empowers teachers and
learners to face and promote the change that world education is facing since the beginning of
18
21st century in course of its transformation from a traditional way of instruction and learning
toward more innovative ways.
Harris &Jones (2019) focused on the growing recognition that teacher agency and
professional influence are critical components in the pursuits of school and system
improvement. The possibility and ability of teacher leadership remains a core issue within the
international discourage about educational reform and change.
Berry (2019) examinedand found out that most of the decision-making authority in public
schools has been vested in individual principals and other administrators. However, new
models of collaborative teacher leadership are beginning to emerge. There were four trends
respectively 1) evidence of the positive effect of teacher leadership continues to mount, 2)
district and state policies are codifying teacher leadership roles, 3) teacher leaders are becoming
more proficient at using educational technology and sharing their expertise through digital
media, and 4) research are depending on their knowledge about how teacher learn to lead
effectively.
Stein (2020) studied on teacher and found out that theywere characterize as managers, who
explains our educational system’s focus on classroom management, rather than leadership
skills. Improving our educational system depends, in large part, on demonstrating to our teacher
that students, at all levels of education, respond best to leadership. The most effective teachers
are transformational, authentic, and servant leaders.
Gajendran (2020) examined the leadership role of Saudi special education teachers from their
own perspective and to survey their views toward challenges in leadership. This research
outcome shows toward the special education teachers had little experience in leadership roles,
where they considered participation in conflict resolution among colleagues as their most
important leadership role participation in mentoring, follow-up or training is the least
important. A critical examination of studies conducted on Leadership skills revealed that most
of the studied were conducted to know the styles of leadership, its impact and effect of teacher
leadership on teaching practice. Wenner & Campbell (2017) studied on teacher leadership
and their impact; Cooper and Kristy (2016) studied on teacher leadership as a reform strategy
for authentic instruction improvement; Al-Zboon(2016) studied on leadership and professional
learning community of institution: Berg & Zoellick (2019) studied on change teacher
leadership development planning; Coggins & McGovern (2014) studied on teacher leadership
interest instructional management of five goals of Teachers Leadership; Ovando &Martha
(1994) have conducted a study on effect of teacher leadership on teaching practice and
satisfaction with dual roles; Anna & Malin (2017) studied on achieving educational goals of

teacher leadership and students self- efficacy on students educational motivation; Jon Eckert
(2016) studied on educational pat-finding new teacher leadership roles; Cynthia L. Carver
(2016) studied on academy leadership development transformation learning critical preparation

together to foster and to develop teacher leadership. The present study focused on finding the
levels of leadership skills among the teacher educators in teacher training institutions, colleges
of Papumpare district of Arunachal Pradesh.

3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1. INTRODUCTION
This multi-site quantitative study examined the relationship between the extent of teacher
leadership of among the skills as perceived by teachers of four B. Ed college in Papum Pare
district of Arunachal Pradesh. Methodology is a general research strategy that outlines the ways
in which the research is to be carried out and identifies the methods that are to be used in it.
Methods define the means or modes of data collection or how the results of a data results are
to be calculated. It gives attention to the nature and kinds of processes to be followed in a
particular procedure to attain an objective.

Since the study contains above such objectives and its usage the collection of data from the
teacher educators of teacher training colleges, so the investigator of the study will collect data
through Survey method. Therefore, Survey technique will be adopted from descriptive research
to collect information from the targeted section of population. Leader development takes place
through multiple mechanism: formal instruction, developmental job assignments, 360-degree
feedback, executive coaching, and self-directed learning, these approaches may occur in
dependently but are more effective in combination.

As methodology is a process of data collection and information for the purpose of making
decision. It includes both qualitative and quantitative research methods publication research,
interviews, Surveys, experiments, participant observation and other research techniques and
includes both present and historical information. Qualitative methods aim for a complete,
detailed description of observations including the context of events and circumstances whereas
quantitative research methods aim to classify features, count them, and create statistical models
to test hypotheses and explain observations. Research methodology enables the researcher to
organize their efforts into one cohesive and conceptual product idea generation it also helps in
trying to figure out new ideas. The investigator wanted to highlight the details of research deign
and procedure, How the investigator used the tools for finding out the Teacher Leadership skills
among the B. Ed college Teacher Educators of Papum Pare District of Arunachal Pradesh. The
present study is on the Teacher Educators of Leadership skills in B. Ed colleges of Papum Pare
District of Arunachal Pradesh. Therefore, the researcher has adopted Descriptive survey
method of educational research.

3.2. METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY


The present study is based on descriptive method of research to know the leadership skills of
Teacher Educators of various Teacher’s Training colleges of Papum Pare district, Arunachal
Pradesh. Descriptive research is helpful to describe the characteristics of a population or
phenomenon being studied Question and Answers. Since the investigator took the study on the
Teacher Leadership Skills of B. Ed Training colleges of Papum Pare District, Arunachal
Pradesh. Therefore, the investigator adopted descriptive method of educational research to
investigate the attitude of teacher educators of Teacher’s Training colleges on leadership skills.

3.3. THE POPULATION AND SAMPLE OF THE STUDY
Sampling is a process which is used in statistical analysis in which a predetermined number of
observations are taken from a larger population. It is a small representation which is
proportional in nature that acts as mirror to reflect the entire population drawn from the same
constituent population for a research study from which the researcher selects the sample frame
of population on random basis, the investigator can prepare an outline based on different
variables used for the study. Methodologies that are used for sampling from a larger population
depends on the type of analysis being performed, it may include simple random sampling or
systematic sampling. The researcher has selected the teacher educators of teacher training
colleges of Papum Pare district of Arunachal Pradesh as the Population of the study. For the
present study, the researcher selected four B.Ed. Teacher Training Colleges including
Government and Private spread over the Papum Pare district. The source of the list of total
colleges, number of teacher educators collected from (State Directorate of Higher Education,
Itanagar).
The total number of teacher educators in four B.Ed. teacher training Colleges are 61 as the
population of the study.

Again, out of total population of the study, the number of teacher-educators for the sample were
taken 30 (50%) from among the teacher training colleges selected through random stratified
sampling procedure.

3.4. VARIABLES OF THE STUDY


The main variables of the present study were-
Independent Variables: Gender, Category and Nature of Institution
Dependent Variables: Leadership skill.
3.5. TOOLS OF THE STUDY
Research tools are necessary to enable the researchers to construct theories and system models.
It supports capturing hypotheses inferring mechanism and formulating experimental results
22
within the same framework. it is important on the part of the researcher to adopt a systematic
procedure to collection essential, relevant, adequate, quantitative, and qualitative data for the
study of any problem. A research tool helps the researcher to arrive at the conclusion of the
problem of study.” Anything that becomes a means information for your study is called a
research tool or a research instrument. For example, observation
forms, interviews schedules, questionnaires, and interview guides are classified as research
tools.
In the research process the first practical step is to construct a research tool. The researchers
need to decide how he/she is going to collection data then they must construct a research
instrument to collect the data. For collecting data, the researcher can develop a research
instrument or select standardized instrument already available in the field of study.
As the objective of the present study is to study the attitude of Techer Leadership skills toward
Teacher Educators. The investigator adopted a tool developed and constructed by S. Tlesara
and A. Bano (2019)

3.6. ADMINISTRATION OF TOOLS


In order to collect the data, the investigator administered the attitude scale on selected Teacher
Educators of four B.Ed. Training colleges in Papum Pare district of Arunachal Pradesh. The
administration of tools took couple of weeks to cover the selected Teacher Educators of B. Ed
college. The completion of the collection of data was possible only with the co-operation of
the Teacher Educators. After the completion of the administration of the tool, the scoring work
and analysis of the response of the attitude scale was done.

4. ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
4.1. INTRODUCTION
Analysis and interpretation of the data is one of the significant stages in any of the scientific
and systematic research work. Analysis is a branch of mathematics which studies continuous
changes and includes the theories of integration, differentiation, measure, limits, analytic
justification of duty, office, province, and infinite series. It is the systematic study of real and
complex-Valued continuous functions.
On the other handed Interpretation takes the results of analysis, makes inferences pertinent to
the research relations studied, and draws conclusions about these relations. Research work
depends upon the authenticity and varieties of data. The researcher should be well versed with
the required statistical techniques so that these techniques are to be used necessarily and
slightly to complete the work as desired. Item analysis is an important step in test construction
to increase test effectiveness. Each situation of test is analysis and assessed. Effectiveness of
alternatives had been determined. For this purpose, test was administered on 30 Teacher
Educators of Males, Females, APST, Non-APST, Government and Private Teacher Educators
of Papum Pare District Arunachal Pradesh.

high levels of Leadership Skills exists among Teacher Educators of Papum Pare
District of Arunachal Pradesh gets accepted. Also, the computed mean score of
Teacher Educators of Papum Pare District of Arunachal Pradesh came out to be
107.84 and the leadership scale possesses minimum (1x26=26) marks and maximum

27
marks (5x26=130) marks, therefore, [(26+130)/2 =78] marks. Again, the computed
mean score of 30 Teacher Educators was the 107.84 which is quite higher than the
mean score of the teachers’ leadership skill test, so it is interpreted that most of the
teacher Educators have extremely high levels of leadership skills in Papum Pare
District of Arunachal Pradesh.

Objective-2: To find out the significant difference in the Leadership Skills between
the Male and Female Teacher Educators of Papumpare District of Arunachal Pradesh.

Hypothesis-2: There is no significant difference in the Leadership Skills between

formulated null hypothesis “There is no significant difference in the Leadership Skills among
the Male and Female Teacher Educators of Papum Pare District of Arunachal Pradesh” gets
accepted. From this, it is clearly understood that there exists no significant difference between
male and female teacher educators towards the teacher leadership skill in Papum Pare district
of Arunachal Pradesh. Looking into the table it is clear that the Mean score of male teacher
educators was (M=109.08) is slightly higher than the Mean score of female teacher educators
(M=106.12). This means that the male teacher educators of Papum Pare district of Arunachal
Pradesh were better than the female teacher educators in having teachers’ leadership skills.

5. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
5.1. SUMMARY
Leadership is the process of action and operation, creativity and emotion of mind body, and
soul. leadership is the one who inspires for the fulfilment of the mind body’ nature and the
activities of the environment to a particular purpose in teaching, research, administration,
business, career, and life. He works for the(self/others) foundation of the mind body, natures
relationship, attachment separation and action. In this post you will learn what is leadership.
How leadership works. How to develop leadership skills. How we do it and our understanding
of it and how we teach leadership. there are already many definitions and explanation on
leadership. Teachers are hardly paid to exercise leadership. They are never paid enough.
Teachers’ leaders commonly report feeling trapped in the ‘’middle space’’ A. Lieberman & L.
Miller (2004) between the teachers whom they attempt to influence and represent and the
administrators who count on them to do work that they are, for various reason, unable to do
themselves-while being trusted fully by neither.
Teachers’ leadership may be especially challenging today. When so many of the urgent
‘’reforms’’ being visited upon college come with mandates that do not emphasize or reward-or
sometime, even tolerates-teachers exercise of initiative and autonomy, let alone leadership. The
editors of the most recent Occasional paper remark: Teachers’ leadership has to most proponent
of progressive, democratic education, an appealing historical ring to it. It defies, in some
measures the notion of college as hierarchies. It implies that everyone who works within
college organization has some responsibility for the welfare of the community as a whole.it
suggest a commitment to change for the better; progress in the interest of more roundly
educated students; and ultimately, a better society. There is a newer wave of instructional and
learning and support specialist and coaches and coordinators-and even specifically title
‘teachers’ leaders. But of even greater significance for our purpose here are the unofficial-and
often unacknowledged-acts of teaches who supported extend each other’s practice in a million
quite way; who press for the greater care of English language learners or dyslexic or bullied or
simply invisible students; or who advocate on committee or in principals’ offices or in the
hallways for fair treatment of their colleagues or overdue instructional reforms. They are very
good evergreen. Effective Leadership is widely accepted as being a key constituent in achieving
college improvement. The evidence from the international literature demonstrates that effective
leaders exercise an indirect but powerful influence on the effectiveness of the college an on the
achievement of students (leithwood et al, 1999). Whilst the quality of teaching strongly
influences levels of pupil motivation an achievement, it has been consistently argued that the
36
quality of leadership matters in determining the motivations of the teacher the quality of
teaching in the classroom (Fullan 2001; Segiovanni,2001). A preliminary glance at the
leadership research literature however reveals that it is largely premised upon individual
impetus rather than collective action an offers singular views of leadership predominantly
bound up with headship.
It is a great challenge of the today current orthodoxy of school organization to be seeks and
extend the current cessation debate about the distributed leadership. It offers a view of teachers’
leadership which is inclusive rather than limited to those with responsibility for specific change
agent roles. It focuses on learning-centred development work in which teachers act strategically
to improve the quality of teaching and learning. Successful management requires more than
just assigning tasks to the team. It calls for a leader who can inspire team members to achieve
their full potential. People want to be guided by a person they respect, someone who has clearly
sense of the direction. To be a that person, there are certain things have must be known and do.
And that’s what developing leadership skills is all about. It could be a real eye opener, and the
key to making changes to your leadership style. Take complete responsibility for how you are
heard. Always rephrase your message to make it sound positive. Effective communication is a
fine art. Integral part of developing leadership skills is to learn to respect your team’s

5.3. LEADERSHIP STYLES


Leadership styles refer to the behavioral approach employed by leaders to influence, motivate,
and direct their followers. A leadership style determines how leaders implement plans and
strategies to accomplish given objectives while accounting for stakeholder expectations and
the wellbeing and soundness of their team. Leadership styles have been studied in various for
38
a to establish the appropriate or most effective leadership style that motivates and influences
others to accomplish set goals. The major tenet of effective leadership style is the degree to
which it builds follower trust.
Studies carried out indicate that followers who trust in their leader are more likely to follow
through with the leader’s instructions over and above the expected. In turn, they will
accomplish set goals while being allowed to speak freely to air their ideas and suggestions on
the direction of the projects at hand.
Common Leadership Styles Democratic Leadership
A democratic leadership style is where a leader makes decisions based on the input received
from team members. It is a collaborative and consultative leadership style where each team
member has an opportunity to contribute to the direction of ongoing projects. However, the
leader holds the final responsibility to make the decision. Democratic leadership is one of the
most popular and effective leadership styles because of its ability to provide lower-level
employees a voice making it equally important in the organization. It is a style that resembles
how decisions are made in company boardrooms. Democratic leadership can culminate in a
vote to make decisions.
Democratic leadership also involves delegation of authority to other people who determine
work assignments. It utilizes the skills and experiences of team members in carrying out tasks.
The democratic leadership style encourages creativity and engagement of team members,
which often leads to high job satisfaction and high productivity. However, establishing a
consensus among team members can be time- consuming and costly, especially in cases where
decisions need to be made swiftly.

Other Leadership Styles

Coach-Style Leadership: Coach-style leadership involves identifying and nurturing


individual strengths and formulating strategies for the team to blend and work well together,
cohesively, and successfully.
39
Charismatic Leadership: Charismatic leadership employs charisma to motivate and inspire
followers. Leaders use eloquent communication skills to unite a team towards a shared vision.
However, due to the charismatic leaders’ overwhelming disposition, they can see themselves
as bigger than the team and lose track of the important tasks. Charismatic leadership employs

disposition, they can see themselves as bigger than the team and lose track of the important

Strategic Leadership
Strategic leadership leads the company’s main operations and coordinates its growth
opportunities. The leader can support multiple employee layers at the same time. No one
leadership style fits all organizations or situations. In addition, there is no one right way to lead,
and there may be a need to switch between different leadership styles. It is therefore important
to know all leadership styles and their pros and cons. The right leadership approach is often
determined by the following factors:
The type of organization, i.e., mature, or growth-oriented
The type of work involved, i.e., routine, or creative
The level of experience and skills of the team
The personality of the leader

A consideration of the above factors will likely determine the appropriate leadership style to
adopt or an appropriate combination of certain leadership styles.

5.4. RATIONAL OF STUDY


It is a great challenge of the today current orthodoxy of school organization to be seeks and
extend the current cessation debate about the distributed leadership. It offers a view of teachers’

also about being able to apply acquired knowledge, abilities and skills in solving problems of
a real world. In this regard development of leadership skills such as integration of team
building, interpersonal communication skill, motivational skill and managerial skill should be
the primary concern.

Many researchers have conducted study on leadership skills among the teachers and teacher
educators, but very rare study has been conducted in Arunachal Pradesh in general and Papum
pare, district in particular. Taking this aspect into cognizance here the researcher has proposed
to make a sincere attempt to have a study on this area of leadership skill development.
Therefore, researcher intended to develop interest in this area to know the levels of leadership
skills among the teacher

educators whose primary duty is to build teachers for the nation. Considering the educational
backwardness and the nature of the problem of Arunachal Pradesh and Papumpare district in
particular, the investigator determined to carry out a study on the presence of leadership skills
among the teacher educators in relation to some specific variables which is envisaged in the
statement of the researcher problem.
