Abstract

It was aimed to determine the opinions of school administrators on the implementation of School-Based Budgeting (SBB) and the contributions of SBB to school development in this study. The qualitative methods were used in this descriptive study. The study group consisted of 29 primary and secondary school administrators. After data of the study were obtained through semi structured interviews and focus group interviews. School administrators’ opinions on authority and responsibilities of school management within SBB, usage of Ministry of National Education Information Systems fund monitoring module, setting school budget, contributions of SBB to school development and recommendations for improvement of SBB were analyzed through content analysis. The results of this study revealed that SBB implementation can serve for developing schools multidimensionally as a school development tool. It was also concluded that SBB should be structured in accordance with social, economic and cultural conditions of school and school environment. Based on the findings of the study, it is suggested that SBB can be performed differently depending on different needs of each school in an attempt to use it as a school development tool completely.

Abstract

Bu
araştırmada; okul yöneticilerinin Okul Bazlı Bütçeleme (OBB) uygulamasına ve
OBB’nin okul gelişimine nasıl katkı sağlayabileceğine ilişkin görüşlerinin
incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Nitel araştırma yöntem ve tekniklerinin kullanıldığı
araştırma, betimleyici yaklaşımla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma
grubu, Gaziantep ilinde görev yapan 29 ilkokul ve ortaokul yöneticisinden
oluşmaktadır. Araştırma verileri, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler ve odak grup
görüşmeleri aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler, içerik analizi ile
çözümlenmiştir. İçerik analizi sürecinde okul yöneticilerinin; OBB sürecinde
okul yönetiminin yetki ve sorumlulukları, Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı Bilişim
Sistemleri ödenek takip modülünün kullanımı, okul bütçesi oluşturulması ve
OBB’nin okul gelişimine katkıları ile ilgili görüşleri ve OBB’nin
geliştirilmesine yönelik önerileri analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucunda, OBB
uygulamasının okul geliştirme aracı olarak okulların çok boyutlu
geliştirilmesine hizmet edebileceği ortaya çıkmıştır. Aynı zamanda, OBB
kapsamında sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel açıdan okulun ve okul çevresinin
şartlarına uygun bir yapılanma sürecine gidilmesi gerektiği sonucuna
varılmıştır. Araştırmanın bulgularına dayalı olarak, OBB’nin tam anlamıyla bir
okul geliştirme aracı olarak kullanılabilmesi için okulların ihtiyaçlarına
bağlı olarak farklılaştırılmış biçimlerde uygulanması önerilmektedir.
