The purpose of this research was to examine the perceptions of public secondary school teachers of the Prefecture of Thessaloniki in Greece concerning their principals' leadership style, the results of leadership, whether they are influenced by demographic and work characteristics, the correlation of leadership style with leadership outcomes and if a leadership style constitutes a predictor of leadership outcomes.

The purpose of the research is to examine the perceptions of primary education teachers about the reasons that cause burnout, as well as the measures taken by the principal in order to cope it. The research was carried out between February 2019 and April 2019 with the method of an anonymous self-completing questionnaire. All teachers working in school units, regardless of their specialty, were selected from the schools belonging to the Regional Unit of Kavala in Greece. A number was assigned to each unit, which was then recorded in a statistical table. From this table, 30 numbers were randomly selected representing 30 different schools, irrespective of their location and organisation. The sample of the research consists of 324 Primary Education teachers. The findings revealed that teachers do not feel particularly professionally exhausted or emotionally exhausted due to their profession, but instead they feel creative, believe that their goals are achieved and are willing to carry out their educational work-duty. Furthermore, as far as the feeling of personal

In the main research, 118 primary school teachers from the island of Lesvos in Greece participated, 36 of them (30.5%) were male and 82 (69.5%) were female teachers. The questionnaire used in this research consists of seven issue units. Teachers who took part in the research were not totally satisfied with the training that they had already received but on the other hand, they were positive in the idea of continuous training, whereas there are differentiations among demographic units concerning the characteristics of training.

In the present study, we examine the differences in strategy towards parents followed by principals of public experimental and non-experimental primary schools in Greece in their effort to deal with bullying regarding issues related to the proper treatment of the phenomenon. A sample of 11 school principals was the focus of this research. In particular, the population examined were the principals of the three public experimental primary schools of the prefecture of Thessaloniki and eight randomly selected principals of non-experimental public primary schools of the same prefecture. In the prefecture of Thessaloniki, the problem of bullying seems to exist and concern to a great extent the principals of primary education who constitute the sample of this research and pursue their strategy to find appropriate solutions for its immediate and effective coping.

The competences of primary education school principals and assistant principals are of crucial importance, particularly because of the modern role these people have to play.What is examined in the present study is the level of competences that principals and assistant principals of primary education schools of Thessaloniki perceive for themselves regarding common administrative responsibilities they face during a school year in the context of their role. At the same time, an attempt to detect any possible influences of some specific factors – personality traits that may initially affect these perceptions and, consequently, the effective performance of their administrative role is made.A total of 412 people – administrative staff of the prefecture of Thessaloniki, that is 261 principals and 151 assista...

The sample of this particular research consisted of 162 teachers who at that time worked in schools of Primary Education in Thessaloniki in Northern Greece. The findings of the present research showed that the teachers improved their skills sufficiently, whereas there was a partial satisfaction derived from the trainers’ methods in the programmes, as well as a lower satisfaction concerning the organisational structure of those programmes. Furthermore, younger teachers and those that had experience in the use of ICT or had previously had a training of long duration appeared to have a more positive attitude towards the growth of skills and the use of ICT, as well as the organisation of training.

This model uses collaborative texts in order to increase the interaction not only among the pupils but also between the teacher and the pupils. It is based on targeted exploitation of the Google Drive platform. Several team-working tools are used such as Google Docs and Questionnaires. The whole educational approach tends to be student-oriented, since the pupils themselves are both the creators and the evaluators of the educational outcomes. The method was applied to 46 5th grade pupils of a model primary experimental school in Greece. Taking into consideration the results of the research, we conclude that the targeted usage of some of the new Web 2.0 educational tools could broaden the existing educational horizons and become beneficial to the development of new skills and abilities on students' part.
