| dc.description.abstract | Instructional leadership has emerged as one of the major determinants of educational quality and student academic performance. As instructional leaders, principals have a responsibility to ensure that instructional practices are efficiently implemented. This study examined the relationship between instructional practices and student academic performance and whether this relationship is moderated by a school's organisational culture. The study adopted a mixed methods design and employed stratified sampling. Participants who were students, teachers and principals were sampled across three strata: sub-county, county and extra-county secondary schools in Kirinyaga and Nyeri counties, Kenya. The final sample applied in the study included 30 principals, 331 students and 305 teachers. Study results indicate that student performance was below average. The weak student academic performance was linked to existing instructional practices. Instructional practices were measured in the context of adherence to the school mission, curriculum management and the learning environment. Each of the aforementioned factors was found to have a positive and significant influence on student academic performance. Similarly, the influence of instructional leadership on student academic performance was moderated by the school's organisational culture. Findings show that instructional leadership practices are likely to have a more significant influence on student academic performance in schools with positive organisational culture. The study recommends that school principals should encourage the creation of a collaborative organisational culture that would ensure that different stakeholders of the school work together towards the improvement of student academic performance. | |
