Abstract:

The study sought to hear the voice of the Head of Department (HOD) in independent, non-government secondary schools in the ACT Region on their changing leadership role and their recommendations for targeted professional development. Heads of Academic Departments (HODs) face significant challenges by being in the middle of the organisational structure of a secondary school. They are required to be competent change agents for whole-of-school "macro" initiatives on one hand, yet on the other hand foster "micro" initiatives that support effective learning and teaching in individual classrooms.

Abstract:

The aim of this research project is to investigate the roles and responsibilities of foundation phase heads of departments (HoDs) in the Mpumalanga Province in South Africa. A quantitative research approach was used to assess the perceptions of the foundation phase HoDs. Questionnaires were distributed to 274 foundation phase HoDs in Mpumalanga and SPSS 20 was used to analyse the data. The findings show that HoDs perceive that they are overworked, whereas in reality, the amount of time they spend in school is not as expected in the Personnel Administrative Measures (PAM) document.

Abstract:

With nineteen years of democracy behind us, South Africa has experienced uncountable changes within its borders and on various playing fields. One of the most memorable changes, in my opinion, was in education. This motivated me to embark on a study about the responses of Heads of Departments (HoDs) to curriculum changes. I especially wanted to focus on the management of those changes. The focus on HoDs arose from the devolution of responsibility from the principal to the HoD with regard to curriculum change. This uninterrupted cycle of curriculum change that South Africa is experiencing occu

This Thesis describes a study of the roles of heads of department in the 'new' universities, the former polytechnics. The study comprises a survey of all 105 heads of department in four 'new' universities and case studies in three of the four universities. The case studies were carried out by semi-structured interviews with the head and key members of the head's role sets in three departments in different academic disciplines. The role of the head is examined through the application of role theory and role concepts and a theoretical framework for the role is presented. The study showed that th
