Harvey, Michael; Sheridan, Barry

Journal of Educational Administration, v33 n4 p69-91 1995

Summarizes a study using latent-trait theory to construct a variable that conceptualizes practitioner perspectives about the deputy principalship in self-managing (Australian) primary schools. A sample of 403 deputy principals, 179 principals, and 138 teachers was analyzed according to both actual and ideal situations, using a Rasch measurement model well suited for the task. (MLH)
