Abstract: Abstract The aim of this research is to study the role of teachers under school-based management (SBM) in a Hong Kong primary school. Under SBM, the teachers play a more important and complex role than before. Although the principal is the significant figure in this reform, the teachers are the real persons who carry out the school policy related to finance, curriculum and teaching, etc. How teachers perceive their roles and how much they understand SBM are essential to the success of the implementation of SBM. This research studies the roles of teachers in decision making and factors that affect their roles such as their perception of SBM, teacher leadership and the autonomy they possess. This research was conducted through interviews, observations, and document analysis. A better understanding of the role of teachers under school-based management is obtained. Nine ordinary teachers, three middle managers and the principal were involved in this study. iii DOI: 10.5353/th_b3764842 Subjects: School-based management - China - Hong Kong - Case studies Educational leadership - China - Hong Kong Elementary school teachers - China - Hong Kong - Attitudes
