The purpose of this impact study was to determine the relevant learning experiences of the ZCSPC participants in the Orientation-Workshop on Normative Funding for SUCs/Campuses in Region IX and Utilization of Income Generating and how they implemented the learning experiences, relevant to their duties and responsibilities, in the College. The qualitative research design was utilized. The purposive sampling technique was used since the respondents were the identified ZCSPC participants.  The data were collected using the one-on-one interview between the respondent and the researcher. The findings revealed the following salient concerns affecting the normative funding:  a.) the budget officer did not adopt the Aklan State University model policy on the use of income and opted to follow the ZCSPC’s existing policy on the use of income up to the present; b.) the advice to strictly implement the PhilGEPS was adopted by the College and gradually implemented in its procurement system; c.) the workload misconceptions of the faculty members were given attention through the initial workload policy revision made by the VPTAA (2009). The Administration resorted to the hiring of visiting lecturers and the implementation of the biometric system until the faculty members fully understood the workload policy through the CHED-HEMIS guidelines on August 2013.  It is recommended that ZCSPC Administration strictly follow the guidelines set by CMO No. 20, s. 2011;  strictly monitor PhilGEPS postings; and fully implement the vertical articulation.

The present research aimed to reveal principals’ opinions about professional maturity levels of teachers within the scope of maturity theory of Argyris.The research was carried out with survey model. It was conducted with qualitative research design which aims to examine the meanings inflicted from individuals’ experiences and to demonstrate the concepts in their natural environment in a realistic and holistic way. The study group of the research was determined using criterion sampling and maximum variety sampling methods. The study group consists of 12 principals who have at least 5 years of professional experience and who work in primary, secondary and high schools in Duzce province in 2016-2017 academic year. The fact that principals were chosen among the ones who have at least 5 years of experience results from the idea that their awareness of teacher maturity would be higher. Primary, secondary and high school principals were consulted in order to provide maximum variation. Semi-structured interview form was developed based on the maturity theory of Argyris. Principals mainly stated that teachers are passive both in educational and managerial processes in school and in their professional processes. They remarked that teachers cannot operate the work independently and that they demonstrate indifference to the job. They also observed that teachers behave restrictedly, have short term perceptions and do not have the inclination to make progress in their career. Therefore, principals are of the opinion that teachers have not been professionally mature in terms of seven variables of Argyris’s maturity theory. It can be concluded that teachers have not achieved professional maturity in teaching.Extended English abstract is in the end of PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu çalışmada, Chris Agyris’in “Olgunluk Kuramı” kapsamında, öğretmenlerin mesleki olgunluklarına ilişkin okul yöneticilerinin görüşlerini ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Tarama modelinde olan araştırma, kişilerin sahip oldukları deneyimlerden doğan anlamların sistematik olarak incelenebilmesi ve algıların, olayların doğal ortamda gerçekçi, bütüncül bir biçimde ortaya konulmasını amaçladığı için nitel araştırma deseni ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada veriler betimsel analiz tekniğiyle çözümlenmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma gurubunu 2016-2017 eğitim-öğretim yılında Düzce ili ilkokul, ortaokul ve liselerde görev yapan ve en az beş yıllık görev süresi olan 12 okul müdürü oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunun belirlenmesinde amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden ölçüt örnekleme ve maksimum çeşitlilik örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada okul yöneticileri öğretmenlerin mesleki olgunlaşmalarının göstergeleri olan okuldaki eğitim öğretim ve yönetim süreçleri ile mesleki iş ve işlemlere karşı pasif oldukları, bağımsız yürütemedikleri, ilgisiz oldukları, duyarsızlık gösterdikleri, sınırlı davrandıkları, kısa dönemli bakış açısına sahip oldukları ve meslekte yükselme eğilimi taşımadıkları yönünde görüş belirtmişlerdir. Araştırmada öğretmenlerin yönetici görüşlerine göre gerekli olgunluğa sahip olmadıkları sonucuna varılabilir.
