dc.description.abstractABSTRACT The main purpose of this study was to assess decision making process in secondary schools in Kaduna state. The major factors considered were the management principles and their impact on decision making in secondary schools. This enabled the researcher to assess the decision making process and to determine whether they have impact on the management of secondary schools in Kaduna state. Consequently, four objectives, four research questions and corresponding four hypotheses were posed for the study. The review of literature gave broad spectrum of various definitions of decision making management as well as reviewed the trends on management principle and their impact on decision making process in secondary schools in Kaduna State. A number of relevant and related literature by different authors were reviewed on the research problem. The design adopted for the study was the descriptive research design using survey method. The population of the study comprised of one hundred and twenty three (123) secondary schools in Kaduna state, five thousand and thirty four (5034) teachers from which the sample was drawn to represent forty (40) secondary schools in which ten (10) principals each were selected from each zone to form part of the respondents. Though the sample size randomly selected for the study was three hundred and six (306) from the thirty (30) secondary schools selected to represent teachers and principals, only two hundred and ninety six were retrieved and used for the study. The instrument for data collection was the likert five point scale questionnaire designed and adopted by the researcher. The data collected was used to answer the research questions while the four null hypotheses were statistically tested on 0.05 level of significance using the t-test statistics for independent samples. The study established that teachers were insignificantly involved in decisionmaking despite their eagerness to be involved. Some duties are given to senior teachers or committees even when teachers feel that they should be directly involved. There are times when school heads make unilateral decisions and impose them on teachers for implementation. The study recommends that heads of schools should give their teachers room to come up with ideas and look at all issues objectively.en_US
