One of the hallmarks of the Teaching Profession is to involve in research and to give advice to clientele from the body of generalized and systematic knowledge. Educational research transfers information that facilitates the creation of knowledge that leads to innovative educational strategies. This issue aims to address the extraction of educational resources and knowledge processing through research that ultimately leads to the desired effect on learning.

Teggi examines the effect of Organizational Culture on the Leadership behaviour of Principals of Colleges of Education. Dr. R. Gnanadevan and Mr. M.
