Training School Managers Works!

چکیده
Although most secondary schools use management information systems (MISs), these systems are primarily used for clerical purposes and are not used to a significant extent to support higher order managerial activities. This situation is less than desirable, as schools are receiving more discretion in developing school policies and MISs could be offering important assistance in this respect. Our research shows the positive effects of a deliberately designed training course on the knowledge of school managers about MISs, on their attitudes towards MISs, and on the skills school managers need in order to use MISs to support decision-making.
