Abstract

This study aimed at determining the extent of involvement of the

community in providing support and assistance to school administrations in

the city of Hebron and the impact of such participation on the effectiveness

of these administrations in the development and upgrading of the level of

practical instruction and learning. The sample study consisted of all directors

of secondary schools in Hebron in addition to the parents, councils in these

schools. There were (45) male and female directors and (115) members of the

parent's councils.

The researchers used the descriptive method in their research in

addition to a questionnaire to measure the extent of community involvement

in supporting the city of Hebron school administrations from the point of view

of directors and parent's council. The questionnaire consisted of (46) items

distributed to two areas which are:

First, what is the extent of the community involvement in supporting the

secondary school administrations in the city of Hebron from the administration

level? And second, what is the extent of support of the community for the

secondary school administrations in the city of Hebron from the technical

side. The tool of the study was constructed with the help of the literature and

previous studies on this issue. The tool was also tested for validity, reliability

and suitability.

The results showed that the extent of the involvement of the community

in support of the school's administrations in the secondary schools of Hebron

from the view point of administrations and parent's councils was generally low

reaching a degree of (2.72) while the degree of support in the administrative

issues was higher than that in the technical issues with the low range of (2.75)

to (2.71) in the technical domain.
