Abstract :

The purpose of the current research was to validate the model for school-based management to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of education in Ahvaz secondary schools. The present research method was quantitative-survey and practical in terms of purpose. The statistical population was the principals of secondary schools in Ahvaz city in 1401, whose number was 150, and the sample size was 80 selected by random sampling. The main tool for data collection was a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of 21 items, which was designed based on the initial conceptual model. Reliability was checked with Cronbach's alpha and the value was 0.85. Structural equation modeling method and PLS Smart software were also used for data analysis. The findings showed that the standardized regression coefficient of the variable effect of social factors on the effectiveness of education in schools was 0.471 and the t-statistic value was 29.34; The standardized regression coefficient of the variable effect of structural factors on the variable of effectiveness of education and training in schools is equal to 0.230 and the value of t-statistic is equal to 14.61 and the standardized regression coefficient of the variable effect of managerial factors on the variable of effectiveness of education and training in schools is equal to 0.340 and The value of the t-statistic for this coefficient is 24.62 and is more than 1.96, which shows that this coefficient is significant at the 5% error level. It can be concluded that the proposed model of school-based management validation is suitable for increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of education in Ahvaz secondary schools and its results can be used in the educational and management planning of schools.
