A Survey on Instructional Leadership Framework (ILF) Status at Margarito A. Duavit Memorial and Vicente Madrigal National High Schools

Abstract

Educational leadership defines how well an educational institution performs. It encompasses the ability to adapt to best practices and implement it seamlessly. Being a leader in an educational setting requires one to take some degree of risk to innovate new system that is expected to bring the institution to a higher status of efficiency in service delivery. This study aimed to explore the leadership status of instructional leadership among high school administrators and schoolteacher in two government national high schools using the adopted Instructional Leadership Framework instrument. Based on the survey and exploratory factor analysis, the researcher deduced the initial 5-dimension ILF instrument to 3-dimension ILF. The reduced ILF instrument is preferred to be more fitted instrument to be used in DepEd setting with a variance explained threshold of about 77% with an inter-item reliability index from 0.913 to 0.938 within components and an all-item internal reliability index of about 0.969. This study found out that the 3-dimension ILF instrument is valid and reliable in measuring the instructional leadership of our DepEd School administrators. This instrument will give a huge source data for leadership improvement activities across schools and perhaps within our district.
