Abstract:The notion of leadership for learning as a resource for improving student learning in schools has attracted much attention from scholars. However, its use lacks clarity or meaning for teachers implementing this concept in schools. In seeking to pursue a better understanding of leadership for learning based on a comprehensive review of relevant literature a scaffold of key themes was established. This scaffold shows leadership for learning as a liberating process in which whole-school communities actively engage in purposeful interactions that nurture relationships focused on improving learning. In examining the extent to which this conception of leadership for learning was evident in schools, a survey was developed and tested for its veracity. This article presents the results of factor analysis and importantly, introduces two themes not originally included in the scaffold.
Keywords:authoritative leadership; Leadership for learning; school improvement; team effectiveness
总结:
1、作为改善学生在校学习资源的领导学习已经引起了许多学者的关注。然而,它的使用对教师实施这一概念来说缺乏清晰度和意义。
2、为了追求对基于相关文献全面审查的领导学习的更多理解,确立了关键主题的支架。该支架显示,学习领导作为一种解放过程,在全校社区积极开展有目的的互动,并且关注改进学习的关系。通过调查和测验其准确性的结果发现,学习领导在学校里是显而易见的。
3、本文介绍了因子分析的结果,并引入了两个新的主题。
