This study is to find out the relationship between classroom teacher's leadership style and classroom climate, the goal of this research is to find out effective way for desirable classroom climate.
First, to find out how to be changed the classroom teacher's leadership style according to the school dividing and personal background variables.
Second, to find out the difference of classroom climate according to school dividing(especially, the academic highschool and the technical highschool) and teacher's personal background variables.
Third, to find out the relationship between teacher's leadership style and classroom climate.
Previously, the data were corrected from 10 students from each of academic and technical high school. And then , after a kind of correction, the data were collected from 320 students.
To produce the result, using SPSS12.0 program, t-test, Chi-square test, f-test, Pearson's Corelation were employed. The results of data analysis were as follows;
First, the classroom teacher's leadership style is different according to the school dividing. In the academic highschool, there is more harmony-oriented style than task-oriented.
Second, the classroom climate is different according to the school dividing. In the technical highschool, there is more autonomous climate than any other classroom climate.
Third, the relationship between classroom teacher's leadership style and classroom climate has a strong correlation.
(1) Both academic and technical highschool, there is high correlation with harmony-oriented.
(2) In classroom teacher's leadership style, harmony-oriented has a strong correlation with autonomous and familiar classroom climate.
(3) Task-oriented also has correlation with autonomous and familiar classroom climate. But there is little correlation with laissez-fair classroom climate.
(4) In classroom climate, autonomous climate has strong correlation with harmony-oriented and task-oriented.
Based on the above results, the following suggestion were made. The classroom teacher's leadership style is very important point to decide classroom climate. Therefore classroom teacher should made the mutual activity of each of students themselves in managing the class.
In autonomous climate, students can get enough freedom. And then, there is high productivity. Also in making a decision, this climate need the consideration of students especially about personal trouble rather than public trouble. Familiar climate is also highly ranked. In this kind of climate, there is more concern with human character rather than his role. And then each students' desire were satisfied but the goal of the class is not achieved.
In managing the class, the classroom climate has great influence on students' personality and educational effects. But establishing order and achieving academic goal require the task-oriented.
In conclusion, it is recommended for the teacher to know when the teacher use harmony-oriented and task-oriented reasonably, desirable classroom climate is made. So the teacher must develop his leadership continuously.
