| Summary: | <p>This study investigates total quality management practices (TQM) and primary school</p><p>academic performance (PSAP) in Abu Dhabi: Teaching innovation as a mediator using</p><p>a quantitative research design. The study also aspired to determine the relationship</p><p>between TQM and teaching innovation, dimensions of TQM and PSAP, dimensions of</p><p>teaching innovation and PSAP, and mediating role of teaching innovation on</p><p>relationship between TQM and PSAP. A total of 342 teachers were chosen as a sample</p><p>through quota and simple sampling. Data analysis using structural equation modelling</p><p>was used. The findings revealed a significant relationship between TQM practices and</p><p>primary school academic performance with a coefficient of (=-0.88, p<0.001) and a</p><p>significant relationship between TQM practices and teaching innovation with a value</p><p>of (=0.93, p<0.001). The study further found a significant relationship between</p><p>teaching innovation and primary school academic performance at (=1.05, p<0.001). It</p><p>found that teaching innovation mediates the relationship between TQM practices and</p><p>primary school academic performance where teaching innovation acts as a partial</p><p>mediator where total indirect effect was (1.38) < direct effect (-0.50). As the findings</p><p>confirmed that the TQM practices matters in determining primary school academic</p><p>performance, it is a sine qua non for school principals and policy makers to equip</p><p>teachers with adequate and sufficient teaching materials to implement school quality</p><p>successfully. Also, as teaching innovation plays a critical role in governing the</p><p>relationship between TQM practices and PSAP, in-depth focus on innovation is the</p><p>most effective way to increase the likelihood of teachers to embrace quality of change</p><p>in the school. In the future, this study of TQM practices can be used by schools in the</p><p>Abu Dhabi region to improve primary schools academic performance. The study</p><p>suggests that TQM should be internalised and used to improve primary school academic</p><p>performance in Abu Dhabi. In conclusion, further investigations should examine the</p><p>role the TQM plays on primary school academic performance.</p> |
