Reasons and Levels of Teachers’ Resistance to Change at Schools According To Inspectors’ Perspectives
Abstract
This study aims to determine reasons and levels of primary school teachers’ resistance to change at
schools according to inspectors’ perspectives. The sample of this descriptive study conducted in the 2009-2010
academic year consisted of 172 inspectors who are Union of All Inspectors (TEMSEN) members. The findings
showed that teachers’ lack of knowledge of the change process and their reluctance to own new duties, roles, and
responsibilities, lack of school capacity, school administrators’ ineffectiveness in management of change, and fear of
being hurt by change are all under reasons of teachers’ resistance to change. Also, teachers’ level of resistance to
change due to fear of being hurt by change is “medium” while due to other reasons, it is “high”.
