Analysis of the plasma leadership behaviours of the school administrators and citizenship perceptions of the students through the spatial analysis method

This research aims to analyse the levels related to the plasma leadership behaviours of the school administrators in secondary education institutions (in high schools) and the citizenship perceptions of the students through the spatial analysis method. Research population is composed of the teachers and students of secondary education institutions (high schools) in the city center of Siirt and its districts as Baykan, Eruh, Kurtalan, Pervari, Şirvan, Tillo, in the 2020-2021 school year. Participants of the research were determined through "stratified sampling". Plasma leadership behaviours of the school administrators were measured with "Multidimensional Plasma Leadership Scale" and citizenship perspectives of the students with "Citizenship Perspective Scale". Arithmetic mean, frequency, standard deviation, t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), LSD test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test and Spatial analysis were used to analyze the research data. Besides the statistically significant difference between the means, the effect size values were also estimated in the research. According to the research results, it has been determined that the perceptions of the teachers regarding the plasma leadership behaviours of the school administrators and perceptions of the students regarding citizenship are at "high" levels in general. It has been found out in the research that the plasma leadership perceptions of the participants differ significantly according to "title, place of work, school type, duration of working with the school administrator, branch, and educational background" and citizenship perceptions of the students according to the "gender, place of birth, place of residence, school type, current class, districts, number of family members and educational background of the father". Through the spatial analysis method, it has been determined that generally, plasma leadership behaviours of the school administrators display a higher pattern in the district of Sirvan, while citizenship perceptions display a higher pattern in the district of Pervari.
