Perceptions of educational leaders regarding contemporary reform initiatives in Egypt     

Maysaa Barakat 《Journal of educational administration and history》2019,51(4):330-351

ABSTRACT

Many educational reform initiatives worldwide do not result in deep and sustainable change. Limited studies have looked at reform initiatives in countries like Egypt. The purpose of this mixed methods study is to examine educational reform initiatives in Egypt throughout modern history using a transformative leadership lens, and to explore the perceptions of educational leaders regarding the more contemporary reform initiatives. The findings show that historically, large-scale reform initiatives in Egypt, which had transformative and sustainable results, were typically associated with a more comprehensive ideological inclination. More contemporary educational reform attempts were not transformative because these were perceived to be top-down reforms that were driven by foreign-aid agencies, and had no support from stakeholders.  相似文献

Reflective pedagogy: the integration of methodology and subject-matter content in a graduate-level course     

Rick C. Jakeman  Markesha M. Henderson  Lionel C. Howard 《Teaching in Higher Education》2017,22(2):207-221

This article presents a critical reflection on how we, instructors of a graduate-level course in higher education administration, sought to integrate theoretical and subject-matter content and research methodology. Our reflection, guided by autoethnography and teacher reflection, challenged both our assumptions about curriculum design and our process of designing and teaching the redesigned course. We found that our efforts to integrate course content and methodology differed from students’ prior experiences and resulted in a disconnection between their experience and the intended course learning objectives. Recommendations include understanding the degree program culture and students’ course expectations, using assignments that facilitate learning of both theory and methods, and balancing classroom discussion among theory, methodology, and the integration of the two.  相似文献

Teacher evaluation policy as perceived by school principals: the case of Flanders (Belgium)     

Melissa Tuytens  Geert Devos 《Teachers and Teaching》2018,24(3):209-222

In Flanders (Belgium), a new teacher evaluation policy was issued which placed a lot of autonomy with school principals to develop and implement a new teacher evaluation system. In this study, we explore how Flemish principals perceive the new teacher evaluation policy and what influences their perception. Results demonstrate that principals perceive the policy as clear, but they are rather negative about the need, practicality, and complexity of the summative teacher evaluation. This perception is influenced by policy, context, and individual factors as is demonstrated in our qualitative analyses.  相似文献   

Distributed leadership for personalized learning     

Julie M. Kallio  Richard Halverson 《Journal of Research on Technology in Education》2020,52(3):371-390

Abstract

Personalized learning refers to a collection of practices designed to place student interests and needs at the heart of schooling. Schools that implement personalized learning need leaders that support educators and students in redesigning the core practices of teaching and learning in K-12 schools. To answer the question of how leaders support this redesign, we use distributed leadership theory to focus on the macrotasks and microtasks that leaders enact to create the conditions for personalized learning practices. Drawing on a five-year, qualitative study of 11 personalized learning programs in the Midwest, we identify three macrotasks supporting personalized learning: reorganizing learning environments to support student voice and choice, assembling idiosyncratic technology ecosystems to distribute teaching and learning tasks, and redesigning instructional time to prioritize student’s interests, agency, and learning relationships. After we describe a number of microtasks associated with each macrotask, we discuss how a consideration of these kinds of leadership tasks can open the contemporary discussion of personalized learning from a narrow focus on learning technologies to an expansive vision of student-centered school reform.  相似文献   

Theory Competition and the Process of Change   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Helen?S.?TimperleyEmail author  Judy?M.?Parr 《Journal of Educational Change》2005,6(3):227-251

The reasons why many educational change initiatives have little impact are often framed in terms of either a poorly designed process on the part of the change initiator, or in terms of problems with the attitudes, skills and/or knowledge of those responsible for implementation. In this paper, we seek to integrate these two perspectives more closely by focusing on their interface and the competing theories frequently held by the change initiators and implementers. This concept of theory competition is illustrated with a case of a national literacy initiative in New Zealand in which the change initiators wished to raise the achievement of low performing students through the development of “learning-centred” leadership in schools and evidence-based practice. The desired outcomes were not achieved because theories about what it means to be a successful leader in such a situation, the data needed to undertake the type of evidence-based analysis envisioned and school personnel beliefs about the target students were understood differently by those responsible for initiating the change and those responsible for implementing it.  相似文献

变革型领导行为、战略柔性与企业绩效          下载免费PDF全文

李卫宁  占靖宇  吕源 《科研管理》2019,40(3):94-103

领导行为与企业绩效关系的研究一直倍受学术界关注。本研究将战略柔性(资源柔性和能力柔性)作为中介变量,研究动态环境下变革型领导行为对企业绩效的影响并提出研究假设,通过对北京、上海、广东等地区208家上市企业高管的问卷调查及相对应的企业年报获取研究数据并进行数据检验,验证研究假设。研究结果发现,资源柔性和能力柔性在变革型领导行为与企业绩效的关系中具有完全中介作用;环境动态性显著调节变革型领导行为与资源柔性和能力柔性的关系,但对战略柔性与企业绩效的关系无调节作用。本研究的结果说明,动态环境下变革型领导在推动企业变革的过程,要重视战略柔性的作用,引导企业通过转型来适应动态环境,提升企业绩效。  相似文献
