Attitudes of Directors and Professional Associates on Indicators of the Quality of Work of Preschool Institutions

Summary/Abstract: The research provides an insight into how directors and professional associates perceive their professional role in the process of ensuring the quality of preschool institution work. The goal of the research was to determine the views of directors and professional associates on the possibilities of improving preschool education, what is the relationship between those views and whether there are any differences between them. On that occasion, 70 directors and 32 professional associates from 70 preschool institutions from the Republic of Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina were examined. The results indicate that both directors and professional associates share similar views on the improvement of the educational process in preschool institutions. However, there are certain differences in attitudes related to professional training, the partnership of parents with the preschool institution, as well as the equipment of the preschool institution. The place of employment corresponds with the most variables on attitudes and measures for promotion, whereas the age of the employees did not show significance in the results. Both directors and professional associates recognized the importance of partnership with families and the local community, as well as the development of programs for parents. When creating the budget, educational policymakers should take into account the redirection of surpluses for financing preschool education. The results indicate directions for further action through the improvement of the quality evaluation system in preschool institutions in areas of work such as management and leadership, partnership with family and community, as well as the creation of a stimulating environment.
