This paper discusses the factors contributing to student achievement in English language literacy in primary schools
within Sibu division, Sarawak, Malaysia. The study involved 694 teachers who taught in 105 lower primary schools.
Binary logistic regression was applied to predict the instructional leadership’s influence on student achievement in
literacy. The findings revealed that one dimension of instructional leadership - supervising and evaluating
instruction - emerged as strong predictors of literacy. The result indicated that schools were more than 17 times
more likely to achieve 100% literacy rate when the instruction processes were supervised and evaluated by the
headmasters. Supervision and evaluation of instruction had a positive influence on students’ achievement for
English language literacy, hence making this a possible course of action for school heads. More comprehensive
studies are needed to ascertain its consistency as well as investigating other predictors for literacy. |
