ABSTRACT

—— Objective: In this study, the researcher investigated the impact of School-Based Management (SBM) implementation on schools’ practices and performance to distinguish the gaps in the implementation and present practical ways to address the gaps. Method: The participants filled out the School-Based Management (SBM) Level of Implementation survey and School Survey of Practices Associated with High Performance. The School Performance survey was also filled out by the school heads. Results: The participants ratings showed significant similarities as School-Based Management (SBM) Level of Implementation and Schools’ Performance were equally perceived as maturing. In contrast, Schools’ Practices were viewed as highly practiced. Conclusions: School-Based Management implementation has a slight impact on schools’ practice and moderate impact on schools’ performance. It concluded further that an advanced implementation of School-Based Management would result to productive schools’ practices and enhanced schools’ performance. Further research is advocated to probe the effect of School-Based Management implementation in the grounds of school management and learning efficacy.
