Decision Making of Teacher Educators - A Study

Abstract

The current study sought to determine the level of decision-making among teacher educators and to examine whether any significant differences exist in decision-making of teacher educators based on gender, designation, subject specialization, and marital status. Designed as a descriptive research study, it utilized a survey method to collect data for hypothesis testing. A sample of 342 teacher educators from the Kanyakumari, Tirunelveli, and Thoothukudi districts were selected through stratified random sampling. Data analysis was conducted using both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The findings indicated that only 18.7% of the teacher educators demonstrated a high level of decision-making. Additionally, no significant differences in decision-making were found between sub groups based on gender, designation, subject specialization and marital status.
