دور مديري المدارس في سلطنة عمان في تعزيز قيم التسامح الفكري لدى الطلبة

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the role of school principals in the ‎Sultanate of Oman in promoting the values of intellectual ‎tolerance among students and to know the effect of each of the ‎variables: (gender, grade level and governorate). The ‎researchers used the analytical descriptive approach. The ‎population of the study consisted of all students in the two ‎grades (tenth and eleventh) in public schools that include these ‎two grades together in the governorates of (Muscat, North Al-‎Batinah and South Al-Batinah). They were (9521) students. ‎The study sample consisted of (2000) students from among the ‎school students, who were chosen by the random stratified ‎method. The results of the study were based on a questionnaire ‎consisting of three fields. The results of the study concluded ‎that the role of school principals in the Sultanate of Oman in ‎promoting the values of intellectual tolerance among students ‎‎(as a whole) and their fields from the students ’point of view ‎came at an average level. There were statistically significant ‎differences (0.05 ≥α) due to the effect of gender, favoring ‎females. There were no statistically significant differences due ‎to the effect of the grade level. There were statistically ‎significant differences due to the effect of the educational ‎governorate, favoring North Al Batinah governorate. Among ‎the most prominent recommendations is to call on the concerned ‎authorities in the Ministry of Education to instruct school ‎principals to give students sufficient space to express their ‎views on the intellectual issues raised on the scene without ‎suppression or closure.‎ ‎(Keywords: Role, School Principals, Promotion, Values, ‎Intellectual Tolerance)‎
