The present investigation intends to assess instructional management and institutional effectiveness concerning the age and experience of school principals. The sample comprised twenty schools of Jalandhar and Kapurthala. The researchers used Hallinger’s Instructional Management Rating Scale and a self-prepared Institutional Effectiveness Rating Scale for the investigation. The result of the study reveals that in schools with younger principals, teachers exhibit better behaviour on coordinating the curriculum, protecting instruction time and developing academic standards of instructional management than teachers in schools with older principals. In schools with more experienced principals, teachers exhibit better behaviour concerning instructional management on co-ordinating the curriculum, protecting instruction time, providing incentives for teachers, protecting professional development, developing academic standards, and providing instructions for learning than the teachers in schools with less experience.  In schools with older and more experienced principals, teachers exhibit better behaviour on supervising and evaluating instruction dimension of instructional leadership than the teachers in schools with older and less experience, younger and more experienced and younger and less experienced principals. There is no significant difference in the institutional effectiveness of schools with young and old aged principals. There is no significant difference in institutional effectiveness of schools with more and less experienced principals.

The authors report a study in which they examined how the principals utilize to analyze the level and contrast of principals’ discernments towards instructional leadership practices based on individual and institutional factors along with identification of hindrances to leadership practice in Bhutan. The quantitative and qualitative approaches were deployed for this research. Three instructional leadership dimensions of, managing instructional programs, defining the school mission and promoting a positive school learning environment were used as measurement of criteria. The data were collected through Principals Instructional Management Rating Scale questionnaires and semi-structured interviews and analyzed using mean, standard deviation, t-test, and content analysis. The respondents consisted of 31 principals. These 31 principals are the representative of Instructional leadership from one of the districts in Bhutan. The findings of this study revealed principals’ high-level practices of instructional leadership and consistency among the personal and institutional factors. The result showed that all the 10 instructional leadership functions (Principals Instructional Management Rating Scale) almost at high level and overall mean generated was also high (3:58). Distinguished obstacles to instructional leadership were various roles, time limitations, work over-burden, lacking guidelines resources, shortages of teacher, restricted bolster for professional advancement, jumble between expectations and priorities. Within the light of the above findings, researcher would like to conclude that building learning culture not only depends on individual academic qualification but also the working environment and attitude of the academic committee towards student centered learning beneath the supervision of effective instructional leadership.

The extent to which the Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale (PIMRS) is sensitive and appropriate to be used in different cultural contexts remains underexplored in the literature. To address this research gap, this study attempts to validate a Malay language version of PIMRS by assessing convergent, discriminant, and criterion validity from a hierarchical perspective. Data were collected from 375 primary school teachers from 30 selected schools in Penang and Kedah, Malaysia. Data were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling approach with SmartPLS 3.2.9 software. Findings revealed that four items had to be excluded to ensure the construct validity of the third-, second-, and first-order constructs. Convergent validity and discriminant validity were established for all the second- and first-order constructs with the statistic estimates exceeding the respective threshold. Redundancy analysis confirmed the establishment of the convergent validity of instructional leadership as a formative third-order construct. Criterion validity was established with the significant and positive effect of instructional leadership on collective teacher efficacy (CTE) ( β = 0.578, t = 14.206). Local and international educational researchers could replicate the current validation approach in future psychometric PIMRS validation studies in a different research context.

Principals’ instructional leadership practices have proved to be an imperative predictor to teachers’ self-efficacy. Yet, educators are concerned about the ability to adapt to new instructional leaderships due to unspoken principal-teacher expectations. This paper discusses the extent of instructional leadership practices by two newly transferred principals at two different schools. The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine how their instructional leadership practices affected the self-efficacy of the teachers. Through the use of a cross-sectional survey, responses made by 64 teachers employed in one public school and one privately-run school, were compared. The Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale (PIMRS) Teacher Short Form and the Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES) were used for data collection. The findings showed a high level of instructional leadership practices and self-efficacy in both schools. The test results indicated a strong and positive relationship between the principals’ perceived instructional leadership practices and the teachers’ self-efficacy. Some of the details even suggested that newly transferred principals enforce specific school goals as their main agenda. Nevertheless, the areas of significance identified by this study may help district school superintendents develop the right knowledge to support newly transferred principals in their instructional leadership, thus enhancing teachers’ self-efficacy at the school level.

During the last 25 years researchers have proposed a number of conceptual frameworks to measure the various functions of instructional leadership. One of the most frequently used frameworks is the Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale (PIMRS). Despite the great number of studies employing the PIMRS, evidence for its reliability and validity is relatively limited. In addition, we still don’t know much about the extent to which this instrument could be used in diverse demographic and cultural educational settings. This study explores the content, face, and construct validity, reliability and internal consistency of the PIMRS in the Chinese educational system. A total number of 311 teachers from five middle schools in the Haidian District of Beijing participated in the study. The data were analysed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). On an overall basis the results provided support for the face, content, and construct validity, reliability and internal consistency of the PIMRS. However, six out of the 50 items had to be removed to reach satisfactory fit indices. Implications of the findings in relation to the importance of evaluating the measuring properties of research instruments are discussed and, finally, suggestions for future studies are provided.

The leadership factor of a school is important in creating a conducive school climate to provide an effective learning environment. This study was conducted to identify the relationship between instructional leadership and school climate in Medium Performing Secondary Schools in the State of Kelantan. A total of 355 (L = 137, P = 218) respondents were involved in this study from 18 schools involved. Two (2) types of instruments were used to obtain research data, namely the Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale instrument by Hallinger and Murphy (1985) and the School-Level Environment Questionnaire (SLEQ) instrument by Johnson, Stevens, and Zvoch (2007). Both of these measuring instruments use a seven-point interval scale. The data were then analyzed using Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) version 25 which involved Pearson correlation analysis. The findings of the study showed that there was a very strong positive relationship, and this value was significant (r = .90, p <.01) for the relationship between the instructional leadership of school administrators with the level of school climate. The findings of this study can be used by school leaders as a guide in evaluating the aspects of leadership that they have practiced over the years to form a positive school climate that can provide an effective learning environment. In addition, the findings of this study can also be a basic reference to improve various instructional leadership skills such as sharing vision, values, duties, and responsibilities of organizations that have a very strong relationship with school climate to create a conducive and effective school climate in improving school excellence.
