摘 要:随着21世纪的到来,世界经济、政治、文化的全球化对学校教育提出了新的变革要求,为了培养二十一世纪的国际化人才,对校长的角色提出了新的挑战,与此同时,社会的快速发展赋予教育更多的职能,对教育又寄予更多的希望,校长不能仅仅成为一个管理者,更是一位领导者。校长作为学校变革的核心人物,作为处理学校任何事务的责任人,不管日常教育管理实践还是领导学校的发展变革,都需要校长以专业化的发展的需求出发,不断提升自己的领导力,承担多元的校长角色,关注学校不同的人或群体的需求,应对学校变革的需求。
本研究旨在研究变革视野下的校长领导力,目的在于阐明学校变革视野下,校长所应具备的应对变革的能力,并在此基础上构建出校长领导力的“心脑手”模型,为校长的工作实践提供指导,研究共分为八章,以下是各章节的主要内容和基本观点:
第一章为绪论,目的在于对本研究开展的动机和背景进行介绍,明确研究问题和研究基本思路,并指出本研究的创新意义和研究价值。
第二章重点阐述了面向二十一世纪的学校发展究竟面临着哪些变革以及这些变革对校长角色带来怎样的挑战?并通过访谈调查的方法,了解普陀区校长对校长角色及学校变革的理解,为研究的开展提供实践基础。
第三章主要在分析、综合领导力概念和校长领导力理论的基础上,阐述教育领域对领导力的关注和领导力理论对学校变革的影响与作用,提出在学校变革视野下,校长领导力发展所应作出的变革与发展,从人的发展要素“心、脑、手”出发,重塑校长领导力的理念与内涵,构建校长领导力的“心脑手”模型,打破传统视域中对校长领导力的理解和认识。
