Abstract

This study examines the impact of democratic and autocratic leadership styles on teacher performance in basic education schools in Baucau town, Timor-Leste. Leadership style plays a pivotal role in educational outcomes, yet limited research has explored its influence in the Timor-Leste context. Employing a quantitative approach, data were collected via teacher questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression in SPSS. Three hypotheses were tested: the individual impact of autocratic (H1) and democratic (H2) leadership styles, and their combined impact (H3) on teacher performance. Results reveal that while democratic leadership significantly enhances teacher performance, autocratic leadership does not have a significant effect. However, both styles together have a combined impact. These findings underscore the importance of fostering democratic leadership to create inclusive and collaborative school environments. The study recommends that national education authorities prioritize leadership training and policy reforms to enhance democratic leadership practices.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate how well the teacher-student relationship supported the implementation of the PDP methods, which improved students' reading comprehension. This research used a qualitative method to understand the phenomenon in an environment. The participants in this research were six students and one English teacher, selected using the purposive sampling method. Data were collected through interviews, and they were analysed using thematic analysis to interpret the findings. The result of the study shows that the implementation of the PDP methods is important and has a positive effect on students' reading comprehension, although some students still faced some challenges in the reading activity, including having difficulty understanding the academic words. The results indicate that this method attracts students who need active engagement in reading activities to maintain their increased motivation. Therefore, this method is beneficial and important to implement in an English class to stimulate students’ learning performance, especially to improve their ability in reading comprehension.
