Abstract :
This study examined the effective
implementation of Heads of Schools (HoS) Recognition
Leadership Strategy on improving teachers’ level of
commitment in community-based secondary schools
(CBSS) in Kilimanjaro Region, Tanzania. Instructional
leadership theory guided the study. Qualitative research
approach was employed by using a correlational cross-
sectional survey design. The study employed teachers and
student’ questionnaires for data collection from a target
population of 225 community-based secondary schools in
Kilimanjaro Region, Tanzania. Respondents were 360, of
whom 115 were teachers out of 120 who were selected and
240 were students from three district councils selected by
simple random sampling technique in the region. The
questionnaires for data collection were validated before
data collection by using experts in the research field at
Mwenge Catholic University (MWECAU) and others in
the field of education administration. Questionnaires’
reliability was ensured by using Cronbach’s alpha
technique at 0.974 and 0.906 for the teachers and students
respectively after pilot testing study. Data were analysed
using frequency, percentage, and the mean score
presented in tables.The Chi Square technique used to test
hypothesis of p-value of 0.019 at 0.05 consequently null
hypothesis was rejected hence, there was a significant
relationship between HoS recognition leadership strategy
and teachers’ levels of commitment. The study concluded
that there was a significant relationship between HoS
recognition leadership strategy and teachers’ level of
commitment in community-based secondary schools in
the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania. The study
recommended that Hos should employ a recognition
leadership strategy in order to improve teachers’ levels of
commitment. Furthermore, teachers should spend more
of their time assisting students’ learning.
