Research Topic: Diversity Among School Leadership: How the Under-Representation of African American Male Administrators in K-12 Leadership Has Resulted in Higher Turnover Rates Among African American Male Educators.
Problem Statement: The under-representation of diversity in school leadership among administrators has resulted in higher turnover rates among African Americans (Castro, A., Germain, E., , M., & University Council for Educational Administration, 2018).
Research Questions
What connection exists between the percentage of African-American male educators leaving their educational institutions and the representation of African-American male administrators in K–-12 leadership roles?
● The relationship between the number of African-American male administrators and the number of male teachers who remain in their positions is examined in this question. It achieves this by examining the percentage of African-American men in leadership roles and turnover rates.
How does diversity in leadership affect the job satisfaction of African-American male educators and their decision to stay in or quit their existing positions?
● This inquiry aims to learn more about African-American male educators’ experiences and perspectives on diversity in leadership positions. It suggests a mixed-methods approach that combines qualitative (like interviews or surveys) and quantitative (like job satisfaction scores) data collection.
What are the leading causes of the underrepresentation of male African Americans in leadership roles in K–12 educational environments?
● The root causes of the underrepresentation problem are covered in this inquiry. It implies that qualitative and quantitative study is required, for example, by looking at systemic hurdles through interviews and evaluating data on African American male educators’ career advancement.
Hypothesis
Hypothesis for Research Question 1:
Null Hypothesis: There is no statistically significant relationship between African-American male administrators in K-12 schools and the turnover rates of African-American male educators.
This hypothesis will be tested using quantitative data analysis methods, such as regression analysis, to determine if there is a significant correlation between the two variables.
Hypothesis for Research Question 2:
Null Hypothesis: African-American male educators do not perceive any significant impact of leadership diversity on their job satisfaction and decisions to remain in or leave their current positions.
This hypothesis can be tested through quantitative measures of job satisfaction and qualitative data from interviews or surveys to assess perceptions.
Hypothesis for Research Question 3:
Null Hypothesis: No significant factors contribute to the under-representation of African-American males in K-12 school leadership positions that correlate with the career trajectories of African-American male educators.
This hypothesis will involve quantitative analyses, such as examining systemic barriers through interviews and analyzing career progression data of African-American male educators.
