社会公正领导理论研究
摘要:从20世纪70年代开始,教育领导理论出现“从林”景象。进人21世纪以后,这个从林中社会公正领导研究历史虽然不长,但是研究文献却有实质性的增长,短短几年,社会公正领导一跃成为当代西方教育领导研究的三大主流综合范式之一,成为重塑21世纪教育领导专业的一个主流方向。它聚焦于平等、公正等价值和伦理问题,以一种关怀性的价值立场看待教育领导领域,关注学校教育领域乃至全社会的不平等不公正现象。
本论文中,笔者主要运用文献分析法,对社会公正领导理论做了的一个较为详细地梳理与阐释,主要内容包含社会关注领导理论的内容构成,社会公正领导的产生与发展,对社会公正领导理论的初步评价与展望,探讨在我国当下学校管理实践运用的可能性与紧迫性。
社会公正领导理论与其他领导理论相比,最令人耳目一新的领导理念是对弱势群体学生的关注与关怀,教育领导者的一切行动都围绕着学生的学业成就而展开。其研究兴起于20世纪90年代末,至今仍处于快速发展时期。它深刻受到了女性主义、社会正义、批判教育等思想的熏陶。在教育领导理论蓬勃发展的浪潮中,社会公正领导理论体现了许多独具的优势,然而毕竟它还处于发展之中,并不成熟,还存在一些局限和不足,对其评价应客观。但我们更应看到其积极的借鉴意义。
国外有很多学者运用实证研究方式探讨了学校领导与管理实践中注重社会公正领导的必要性与现实性。他们不仅探讨了学校中不公正不公平的教育机制,还探讨了在学校中推进社会公正理论及其行动的方法与策略。本论文呈现了校长推进社会公正的行动策略,并基于我同目前的社会背景及学校教育情境,指出我国学校教育中推进社会公正领导的必要性、可能性与紧迫性,进而提出在我国学校管理实践中推进社会公正领导的具体方法和政策建议。诸如校长要以人/社区为本,促进与家长和社区的沟通,校长要勇于促进学校的改进与发展;注重学校领导的前后延续,做好校长的更替工作等。
