Abstract

The aim of this study is to design a suggested model for developing the
school principals› roles in building the knowledge society in post- basic
education schools in the Sultanate of Oman. To achieve the objectives of this
study, the researchers designed a questionnaire composed of (53) questions.
After checking and verifying the validity and reliability of the questionnaire,
it was distributed among a study sample composed of (157) individuals, (70)
school principals and (87) deputy principals who were requested to respond
to the items of the questionnaire. To evaluate the responses, means, standard
deviation and T- test were employed.
The results showed that the role of the school principals in building the
knowledge society at post–basic education schools in the Sultanate of Oman
was moderate. It showed the absence of statistically significant differences
at the level of (a ≤ 0.05) in the role of school principals in building the
knowledge society at post- basic education schools due to variables of gender,
experience and grade. However, statistically significant differences were
found at the level of (a ≤ 0.05) due to the variable of post designation in favor
of school principals. In the light of the findings of the study, the researchers
recommend utilizing this model to develop the role of school principals in
developing the knowledge society at post- basic education schools in the
Sultanate of Oman. No such a model has been built before.
