371.2 ,ego ,leadership ,AED ,headteacher - Abstract
School headteachers/principals (HT/Ps) are responsible for responding to wicked problems in complex organisations. The way they make sense of that complexity and the multifaceted problems that need to be solved is crucial for them and their organisations. In all adults, sense-making is undertaken by the ego. Loevinger's theory of adult ego development (AED) (Loevinger, 1966: Hy and Loevinger, 1996) describes how the functioning of the ego, and therefore sense-making, can shift through eight qualitatively different stages throughout the adult lifespan. These eight stages describe substantive differences in how adults interact with complexity, how they interpret multifaceted problems, how they interact with others, and how they work with their feelings. However, the way the AED stage of HT/Ps shapes their practice has not previously been the subject of study. Hence the rationale for the research reported in this thesis. The AED stage of 20 HT/Ps was assessed using the Washington University Sentence Completion Test (WUSCT). HT/Ps in the Self-Aware, Conscientious and Individualist stages were identified. How HT/PS would typically comprehend and respond to critical incidents within their schools was collected from the HT/P and those that work closely with them. The common theme from HT/Ps within the same AED group as to how they comprehended and interacted with organisational complexity and to wicked problems were analysed. There were substantive differences across the different stages of AED according to how HT/Ps: comprehended the complexity within their organisation; comprehended and responded to wicked problems; the role they gave others; how they processed feelings; and how those around them experienced the HT/P. The sense-making capability associated with later stages of AED appears to be advantageous in a range of ways. Based on these findings, I argue that this thesis and this novel data set offers several original contributions to theory, practice, and research methodology within educational leadership.

The purpose of this research was to explore the perceptions of Headteachers in English secondary schools, to determine how the protracted standards-led programme of high-paced reform, sometime referred to as 'policy churn', had impacted on their experiences and on standards in their schools. The research employed a mixed-methods approach using an online survey, followed by semi-structured interviews with 11 practicing Headteachers from across the spectrum of school type, location and experience. Findings were considered against a framework of concepts including technologies of neoliberal reform - marketization, new managerialism and performativity drawn from Ball; concepts of capital drawn from Bourdieu and discourse, subjectivity and 'care of the self' drawn from Foucault. The research found that there is a significant dissonance between how Headteachers position themselves and view education in terms of their values, and what they perceive the position of politicians to be. This, combined with a feeling of disempowerment, has left them feeling jaded and cynical, potentially feeding the recruitment and retention crisis. It also found that Headteachers feel ill prepared for the new world of Academies and publicly funded, independently run schools where they have been subjectivated as business managers as well as lead practitioners, and this has led to increased personal and professional risk from legal and regulatory frameworks, previously in the purview of local authorities. The research also identified how the reform-justifying discourse of 'standards' has become a technology of Governmentality, using different objectified measures, some of which are opaque and controlled by Government and may be used to reward compliance with policy through official endorsement. To help address the crisis in recruitment and retention, it is proposed that there is greater cross-party strategic planning for education which includes the profession, confronts the negative consequences of the punitive model of performative accountability currently in place and reviews national profession qualifications for Headteachers to ensure they are properly prepared for the significant legal and financial responsibilities they adopt.

In recent years government reform has focused on the expectations of practice for professionals in the education sector. In the last three years alone, revised standards have been published for Headteachers and Teachers. But what model of professionalism do these standards seek to promote? The focus of the work which follows is concerned with analysing the language used within such policies in order to evaluate whether conceptualisations of professionalism are altered over time, by charting the development of policy from 2004 to 2015 for the Headteachers’ standards and from 2007 to 2012 for the Teachers’ standards. In exploring the language of the standards, the author will also consider the nature of professionalism and discuss whether any conceptualisation can ever be articulated which can produce certainty and consensus of understanding.

This research enquiry examines the extent to which managerialism has permeated the headship role in England. It analyses the literature pertaining to the changing role of headship in England, managerialism, the marketization of education and the impact that these elements have had on the headship role in England, as well as the manner in which they have impacted upon schools in general. The study also explored England’s National College for School Leadership, its headship standards and its generic headship training. The research was conducted by way of semi-structured interviews with six headteachers, two of whom were new to headship, two of whom had more than five years of experience and two of whom were retired. The sample included a mix of state school and independent school headteachers. The data revealed a stark contrast between the professional experiences of state school headteachers and independent school headteachers. The state school headteachers cited pressures of governmental interference and also noted the pressures posed by the socioeconomic background of the given school’s intake. The headteachers also expressed feeling insecure from one day to the next and there was an overriding sense of confusion predominantly due to constant changes in government directives. By contrast, any impact on the independent school headteachers from government intervention and interference was demonstrably absent.

Scottish institutions within the educational networks, including Government, local authorities, and schools, are entangled in performative activities dedicated to improvements in student attainment. Secondary school performance in Scotland is measured nationally predominantly by the number and level of national qualifications achieved. The thesis makes the case that this attainment agenda places enormous pressures on Headteachers to ensure student outcomes are maximised and that the culture of performativity is a major factor in shaping the roles and practices of Headteachers. The study is based on four new secondary school Headteachers in a single Scottish local authority. It is through an examination of their work practices that the formation of subjectivities within a range of power relations and discursive regimes are explored. Performativity and accountability influence the role and actions of the Headteacher in many ways which are unanticipated. There is an ongoing power struggle engendered by the pressures and controls imposed on new Headteachers which modify and discipline their behaviours. In this thesis, a case study methodology is employed and the concepts of Michel Foucault are applied to provide an alternative means of understanding the practices of Headteachers. A Foucauldian approach also provides a different perspective on the problematic conceptualisation of school leadership. The aim of this study is to make a research-based contribution to our understanding of the complexities and competing priorities negotiated by new Headteachers. The research evidences the dominance of the attainment agenda on the lived lives of the new Headteachers. This study should enable the development of additional ways to assist with Headteacher preparation and the provision of improved support in the early years of Headship.

Participation is a right that children should have the opportunity to put into practice. Schools are an ideal setting for students to make their voices heard by expressing ideas, making decisions and formulating proposals. With the aim of exploring the options of the students to participate in the school and to point out ways to maximize these options, we conducted a study by means of an ad-hoc questionnaire addressed to all school principals in Catalonia. Specifically, 684 participated and the results indicate that not only do boys and girls give their opinion in class, but also make decisions when they work in groups, in relation to classroom coexistence or by voting their own proposals. In addition, they can influence the school by claiming and defending their interests. In conclusion, the different degrees of student participation reveal an evolution from symbolic or apparent participation towards giving opinions and making decisions, an also having an influence. However, participation in areas traditionally governed by adults and the possibility of establishing participatory mechanisms are rare. It would therefore be appropriate to strengthen the different levels of participation and to promote those types that have hardly been detected in this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

371.1 ,headteacher ,socialisation ,role ,organisational boundaries ,leadership and management - Abstract
The experience of socialisation for those new to headship can be challenging and often traumatic (Crow, 2007). Research into the socialisation of new headteachers is not extensive and has primarily been concerned with identifying and ordering stages in the socialisation process, for example, phases of headship. Such an approach neither allows for an analysis of the complexity of socialising influences nor does it enable the generation of explanatory theories. The purpose of the current research was to provide an understanding of the socialisation of new headteachers from an analysis of significant socialising experiences. The aims of the research were to: 1.analyse the socialisation of new primary headteachers from a role boundary perspective. 2.test the suitability of the role boundary concept as a rigorous, theoretical and methodological tool that can be applied to researching the field of headteacher socialisation. The research analysed critical incident vignettes from the experiences of seven newly appointed primary school headteachers up to their first three years in post. Data was collected using two research methods; semi-structured interviews and a written log. Twenty two critical incident vignettes were analysed using an interpretive methodology underpinned by an analytical framework based upon the concept of role boundary. The role boundary is described as being the point of delineation between a set of behaviours that are considered to be legitimate in role and those behaviours that are considered illegitimate in role. The role boundary concept allows for an analysis of the socialising experiences of new headteachers as they and the organisation engage in a recurrent, reciprocal and relational socialising process that seeks to establish those behaviours that are, and those that are not, legitimately enclosed by their role boundaries. The research found that socialisation is the process by which the new headteacher and the organisation seek to establish and position their respective role boundaries. Headteachers experience socialisation as a series of emotionally challenging interactions where the central purpose is to establish who has the legitimate authority to take decisions and to take actions in the following three main areas; task role allocation, resource allocation and the creation and application of organisational procedure. These interactions are immediate, are intense and have the potential to lead to conflict where individuals contest the limits of their respective role boundaries. The research finds the concept of role boundary as a theoretical and methodological tool to be of heuristic and analytical value in understanding and explaining headteacher socialisation and presents a role boundary socialisation theory to explain the dynamics of the socialisation process.

The main aim of this research is to offer a sociological analysis of Taiwanese headteachers’ views of the inclusion of students with special educational needs (SEN) in mainstream schools. Taiwan is a country which combines Confucian and westernised traditions, and these are reflected in its education systems, including SEN provision. To date, there is little research on headteachers’ views of inclusion and most studies involve attitudinal surveys. By way of contrast, this qualitative research, which adopts a neo-marxist theoretical perspective, is based on twenty five in-depth interviews with school headteachers, who are regarded as having high social status in Taiwan. In addition, the research presents two case studies of schools implementing inclusive practices, based on interviews with headteachers, analysis of the school websites and media reports. Critical discourse analysis is used to analyse the twenty five interview texts and the case studies. Three major discourses of inclusion are identified: the managerialist discourse, the critical discourse and the school as social microcosm discourse. The extent to which headteachers employ these discourses appears to be influenced by various personal and social factors. Headteachers’ understanding of disabled students is the key personal factor influencing their views on inclusion. Further, their unfavourable attitudes towards the inclusion of disabled students may be influenced by the views of parents with non-disabled children, competitive credentialism and the government’s stance. With regard to the inclusion of gifted students, the discourses employed are he following: the school as social microcosm discourse, the privileged class discourse and the dilemmatic discourse. The first two discourses are articulated by headteachers holding favourable attitudes towards the inclusion of gifted students whilst the third discourse is articulated by those holding uncertain attitudes. Headteachers’ understanding of gifted students is the key personal factor influencing their views on inclusion. Competitive credentialism has a major influence on attitudes towards the inclusion of disabled students as well as gifted students. With regard to the two case studies of schools exemplifying inclusive practices, it is argued that the wider applicability of their approaches is questionable. Overall, the results highlight the Taiwanese government’s unclear stance on promoting inclusion. This research has also suggested that a clear operational definition of inclusion is necessary and urgent before the comprehensive implementation of inclusion in wider educational arenas.

- Abstract
This study aimed to develop and validate a headteachers' administrative style questionnaire (HASQ) to assess leadership practices. The questionnaire items were adapted from Northouse's 2014 work, encompassing three administrative styles: Autocratic, Democratic, and Laissez-Faire. The HASQ showcased satisfactory internal consistency, as reflected by an overall Cronbach alpha of 0.837, meeting the acceptable reliability threshold. Consequently, the study underscores the HASQ as a valid and reliable tool for assessing the variety and intensity of headteachers' administrative styles. This study strongly recommends that educational stakeholders such as school authorities, researchers, and policymakers use the headteachers' administrative style questionnaire (HASQ) to assess headteachers' administrative styles. The insights gleaned from this tool could prove crucial for enhancing school management strategies and creating effective educational policies. Moreover, the HASQ could catalyze the promotion of more effective administrative styles, potentially contributing to improved educational outcomes.

Context: Vocational education and training (VET) has become a key issue in today's highly dynamic business, technological and economic environment, with a complex diversity of systems within the European Union. This paper aims to study the implementation of dual VET in Spain, focusing on the working conditions of company tutors in the tourism sector of Andalusia and the Canary Islands.Approach: Dual VET has been implemented in different ways, both between the different autonomous regions and professional areas since it was launched in 2012. In order to analyse these differences, interviews with teachers, head teachers, students and company tutors were carried out, between 2020 and 2021, in centres that had implemented dual vocational education training and centres that had not. The educational programme in dual VET implies a closer collaboration between schools and companies, as both are active training areas; the training objectives are shared between the school and the company. In this study, the company tutor is studied in his or her facet as trainer and assessor; but special emphasis is placed on the characteristics of the tourism sector, given its relevance in understanding the educational processes involved. Three dimensions underpin the analysis: the characteristics of the company tutor, the training and assessment processes implemented and the link that both maintain with the dynamics of tourism companies.Findings: In general terms, the initial assumptions put forward are confirmed. Firstly, the educational centre leads the process, taking the initiative yet without having the conditions of governance and negotiation typical of the Germanic countries from which these vocational education training systems originate. Secondly, the main characteristics of the company tutor are heterogeneity and informality. Thirdly, the contents and methodology are conditioned by the characteristics of the tourism sector. And finally, assessment also follows informal and changing procedures, generating tensions between the educational centre and company.Conclusions: These results give rise to some theoretical reflections. If the education system is an institution based on the principle of equality, it is worth asking to what extent dual VET can alter this principle, as the company adapts some of the contents and learning outcomes to its specific needs. In addition, an important differentiating factor that marks the learning dynamics has been detected: the size of the company. The difference in size may also influence the future prospects of trainees joining the workforce after completion of VET studies.

La participación es un derecho que los niños y niñas deben tener la oportunidad de ejercer y la escuela es un escenario idóneo para que el alumnado pueda hacer oír su voz exponiendo ideas, tomando decisiones y formulando propuestas. Con el objetivo de detectar las opciones del alumnado de participar en el centro y apuntar vías para maximizarlas efectuamos un estudio a partir de un cuestionario elaborado ad hoc dirigido a todos y todas los directores y directoras de escuelas de Cataluña. En concreto, participaron 684 y los resultados indican que los niños y las niñas no solo opinan en clase, sino que toman decisiones cuando trabajan en grupo, en relación con la convivencia o votando sus propias propuestas. Además, pueden influir en el centro reivindicando y defendiendo sus intereses. En conclusión, los diferentes grados de participación del alumnado revelan una evolución desde la participación simbólica o aparente hacia opinar y decidir y, también, incidir. Todo ello sin inmiscuirse demasiado en terrenos tradicionalmente regidos por los adultos o tomar iniciativas a la hora de formular los propios mecanismos participativos. Convendría, pues, fortalecer los diferentes niveles de participación y promover aquellos tipos que apenas se han detectado en este estudio.

Concrètement, ils ont participé 684 et les résultats indiquent que les enfants ne donnent pas seulement leur avis en classe, mais qu’ils prennent également des décisions lorsqu’ils travaillent en groupe, en relation avec la coexistence ou en votant sur leurs propres propositions. En outre, ils peuvent influencer l’école en revendiquant et en défendant leurs intérêts. En conclusion, les différents degrés de participation des étudiants révèlent une évolution de la participation symbolique ou apparente vers l’expression d’opinions et la prise de décisions, ainsi que l’influence. Cependant, la participation dans les domaines traditionnellement gouvernés par les adultes et la possibilité de prendre des initiatives pour formuler leurs propres mécanismes participatifs sont peu fréquentes. Il serait donc utile de renforcer les différents niveaux de participation et de promouvoir les types qui n’ont guère été détectés dans cette étude.

Das Spektrum des Handelns von Schulleitung und Schulaufsicht als pädagogische Führungskräfte im schulischen Personalmanagement ist vielschichtig, kann mehrebenenanalytisch betrachtet werden, ist direkt und indirekt: Zum einen qualifizieren sich pädagogische Führungskräfte selbst weiter und zum anderen initiieren, begleiten und unterstützen sie die Gewinnung und Professionalisierung von schulischen Akteur*innen bzw. Nachwuchsführungskräften. Ausgerichtet ist schulisches Personalmanagement auf die Sicherung und Weiterentwicklung der Qualität pädagogischer Arbeit. In dieser doppelten Perspektive wird über ein Kooperationsprojekt der Stiftung der Deutschen Wirtschaft (sdw), der Robert Bosch Stiftung (RBS) und des Instituts für Bildungsmanagement und Bildungsökonomie (IBB) der Pädagogischen Hochschule Zug/Schweiz berichtet, das impulsgebend sein könnte für eine schulische Führungskräfteentwicklung als systematischer und kontinuierlicher berufsphasenübergreifender Prozess, der in der Lehrer*innenbildung beginnen sollte. (DIPF/Orig.), Being educational leaders in the school system, the scope of action of school leadership and school administration concerning human resource management is multi-layered, can be analyzed from a multi-level perspective, is direct and indirect: On the one hand, educational leaders care for their own professional development, and on the other hand they initiate, accompany, and support the recruitment and professionalization of school actors or teachers aspiring leadership. Human resource management within the school system is aimed at ensuring and further developing the quality of educational work. Along this double perspective, this paper focuses on a cooperation project of the Foundation of the German Economy (sdw), the Robert Bosch Foundation (RBS) and the Institute for the Management and Economics of Education (IBB) at the University of Teacher Education Zug (PH Zug), Switzerland, which could give impulses for school leadership development as a systematic and continuous process.

Quality physical education (QPE) in primary school optimises children’s well-being. However, international research indicates that the preparation of classroom teachers is impeded by systemic barriers, resulting in low-classroom teacher confidence, competence and subsequent interest. This empirical research investigates school principal [headteacher] perceptions of how quality physical education in primary schools is implemented. The 73 principal [headteacher] participants were randomly selected to represent a cross-section of Government Primary School communities, in a region, where PE responsibility lies with classroom teachers; New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Data were gathered using ex-post facto surveys embedded within an interpretivist paradigm. The questionnaire formulated open-ended questions providing principals [headteachers] with the opportunity to express themselves, and closed-ended questions where they chose the category that best described their school. Findings suggest the largest barrier for QPE in primary schools is the qualifications and preparation of teachers. It is recommended that opportunities for developmentally appropriate primary education PE specialisms be provided within degrees, allowing every primary school over time to have a sustainable infrastructure of PE expertise and advocacy. This recommendation will in time provide QPE experiences for all children; offering global direction for learning in the physical dimension and consequently, optimise holistic education.

On the one hand, expectations of primary school teachers are high. On the other hand, a specific pedagogical professionalism of primary school teachers is doubted again and again. In fact, a compilation of requirements and competences that apply specifically to primary school teachers does not yet exist. While in the discourse on professional theory, challenges for and demands on the professionalism of secondary school teachers seem to be discussed and empirically developed, in the discourse on primary school pedagogy, methodological-didactic questions as well as structural framework conditions come into view, without grasping the consequences for the actions of primary school teachers and framing them in terms of professional theory. The aim of this volume is therefore to link the two discourses more closely and to look at the professionalisation of primary school teachers from different perspectives., Einerseits sind die Erwartungen an Grundschullehrkräfte hoch. Andererseits wird immer wieder eine spezifische pädagogische Professionalität von Grundschullehrkräften bezweifelt. Tatsächlich existiert eine Zusammenstellung von Anforderungen und Kompetenzen, die speziell für Grundschullehrkräfte gelten, bislang nicht. Während im professionstheoretischen Diskurs vorrangig Herausforderungen für und Anforderungen an die Professionalität von Lehrkräften der Sekundarstufe diskutiert und empirisch erschlossen zu werden scheinen, geraten im grundschulpädagogischen Diskurs methodisch- didaktische Fragen sowie strukturelle Rahmenbedingungen in den Blick, ohne dabei die Konsequenzen für das Handeln von Grundschullehrkräften zu fassen und professionstheoretisch zu rahmen. Ziel dieses Bandes ist es daher, die beiden Diskurse stärker miteinander zu verbinden und die Professionalisierung von Grundschullehrkräften aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven in den Blick zu nehmen.

Empirische Studien und schulische Rechtsvorschriften betonen die Relevanz von Schulleiter*innen für die Schulentwicklung. Auf diese Aufgabe müssen Schulleiter*innen in Aus- und Fortbildungen vorbereitet werden. Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht in einem längsschnittlichen Design Effekte der Fortbildungsreihe Werkstatt „Schule leiten“. Die Teilnehmer*innen bewerten die Werkstatt zumeist positiv und es zeigen sich geringe bis moderate Veränderungen in ihrem selbstberichteten beruflichen Handeln. Schulleiter*innen mit wenigen Jahren Leitungserfahrung berichten dabei über die größten Zuwächse. Der Beitrag diskutiert Implikationen für die Forschung und Fortbildung von Schulleiter*innen. (DIPF/Orig.), Empirical studies and legal documents of school law highlight the importance of principals for school improvement. Professional development (PD) needs to be provided for principals in this field accordingly. This longitudinal study investigates effects of a PD program addressing principals’ self-reported skills that are related to school improvement. Participants are highly satisfied with the PD program and they report small to moderate changes of their leadership behaviour. Principals with little experience on the job report higher gains of their leadership than highly experienced principals. Implications for future research and professional development are discussed.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, distance education became the only official form of instruction in all schools in Croatia for a period commencing 16 March 2020. This situation changed the expectations, roles and responsibilities of parents with regard to the teaching and learning process of their children. Understanding parents’ experiences during school closure is important for the development of recommendations for similar situations. This paper presents part of the results of an online survey investigating the opinions of 1,205 parents of primary school children on various aspects of distance education. The responses were analysed by researchers using the thematic analysis approach. The initial answers of parents regarding the positive and negative aspects of education during the lockdown were grouped into categories. The results indicate that distance education positively contributed to the development of children’s self-regulated learning and to providing greater parental support in learning, as well as empowering children in using ICT. Parents emphasise positive changes in the quality of family relationships, which are partly the consequence of joint learning with their children and partly due to changes in the way of life during the lockdown. Negative aspects can be divided into two general categories, the first of which is linked to children (e.g., lack of support from school, lack of children’s interest in learning), while the second refers to the challenges faced by parents (e.g., fear of school failure, undertaking the double role of custodian and teacher). The findings suggest the need for the development of recommendations that would provide support for parents and children in situations where the teaching and learning process take place in an online environment.

Dieses Skalenhandbuch dokumentiert die Erhebungsinstrumente des SEASA-Projektes (Schulerfolg und Schulabbruch an Sekundar- und Gemeinschaftsschulen in Sachsen-Anhalt). Ziel des SEASA-Projektes ist es, eine Erkl��rung f��r den anhaltend hohen Anteil an Schulabg��nger/innen zu finden, welche die Sekundar- und Gemeinschaftsschulen Sachsen-Anhalts ohne einen Schulabschluss verlassen. Der Anteil der Schulabg��nger/innen ohne Abschluss lag in Sachsen-Anhalt zwischen 1991 und 2020 im Durchschnitt bei 11,7 Prozent und f��llt damit im Vergleich zu anderen Bundesl��ndern deutlich h��her aus. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist das Kernanliegen des SEASA-Projektes, Ursachen f��r Dropout zu ermitteln, um entsprechende Interventionen ableiten zu k��nnen. Gleichzeitig sollen mit dem Forschungsvorhaben erfolgreiche Schulbedingungen und erfolgreiche p��dagogisch-professionelle Handlungen identifiziert werden. Das Projekt setzt sich aus einer quantitativen und einer qualitativen Projektphase zusammen. Die Erhebungsinstrumente der quantitativen Online-Erhebung, welche im Herbst 2020 an den ��ffentlichen Sekundar- und Gemeinschaftsschulen Sachsen-Anhalts zum Einsatz kamen, sollen hiermit der interessierten ��ffentlichkeit zug��nglich gemacht werden.

At the global level, the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the whole education system, ranging from pre-school to higher education. Without any prior preparation, the teaching process has undergone a massive transition from face-to-face to distance learning. This transition has posed many challenges. This article aims to reveal what barriers to learning lower secondary school students face and how schools can minimise these barriers. A systematic review of the academic literature from two well-known databases, EBSCO and ScienceDirect, was performed to identify and determine the prevailing consistencies and gaps. The empirical study follows a qualitative research design: an explanatory case study. The data were collected through observations of online lessons, interviews with teachers and the school principal, and students’ reflections. In addition, an inductive thematic analysis was employed. The empirical results help to identify secondary school students’ barriers to learning in terms of learning accessibility and technological literacy; planning and reflections on learning; self-regulated learning and active involvement; and emotional and psychological well-being. Furthermore, the study highlights how a school can minimise these barriers. (DIPF/Orig.)

CEPS Journal 12 (2022) 2, S. 217-237, The present study aims to analyse how school leaders perceive their activities in creating and developing a collaborative school culture that promotes the school learning process. The data were collected in semi-structured interviews with nine school leaders and analysed using thematic content analysis. The results revealed that only three of the school leaders focused on the shared values and shared leadership necessary for creating a systematic and analytic approach to organisational and teacher development. The school leaders understood the importance of leading the development of the learning process, but this did not take place as expected in practice. Organisational and teacher development seemed to be unsystematic or not based on the continuous monitoring of processes. The findings of our study indicate that development programmes for school leaders should concentrate more on shaping the views, knowledge and skills needed to develop a collaborative and learning-centred school culture.

This qualitative study uses the Job Demands-Resources framework to examine social support and its role in career retention or attrition among Swiss second career teachers (SCTs). In many countries, including Switzerland, great efforts are made to bring professionals from other occupational fields into teaching. As a result, the number of SCTs is growing, as are speculations about their skills, resources, and career persistence. A qualitative content analysis of 23 semi-structured interviews shows that support from colleagues and principals is a crucial job resource for SCTs, but seems to be positively associated with work engagement and career retention only if it is offered in forms that are sensitive to SCTs��� own needs and skills. Implications for SCT training and job induction are discussed. (DIPF/Orig.), Auf der Basis des Job Demands-Resources-Modells untersucht diese qualitative Studie die soziale Unterst��tzung und den Berufsverbleib von Schweizer "Second Career Teachers" (SCT), die aus anderen Berufen in den Lehrberuf wechselten. In vielen L��ndern, inklusive der Schweiz, werden SCT zunehmend f��r den Lehrberuf rekrutiert, um Personalmangel aufzufangen. Unklar ist, welche Ressourcen SCT mitbringen und ob sie im Beruf verbleiben. 23 Leitfadeninterviews wurden mittels qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet. Die soziale Unterst��tzung durch Schulleitende und Kolleg*innen ist eine zentrale Ressource f��r SCT, f��r Arbeitsengagement und Verbleibabsicht aber v.a. dann bedeutsam, wenn sie auf die Bed��rfnisse und Kompetenzen der SCT abgestimmt ist. Der Artikel diskutiert Konsequenzen f��r Ausbildung und Berufseinstieg von SCT. (DIPF/Orig.)

Izobraževanje na daljavo se izvaja že vec generacij, ceprav sta se njegov namen in oblika spremenila. Korespondencni tecaji, pri katerih ucenci prejemajo navodila po posti in odgovarjajo z nalogami ali vprasanji instruktor ju, segajo v sredino 19. stoletja, ce ne se bolj v preteklost. S spreminjanjem tehnologije se je spreminjal tudi nacin izobraževanja na daljavo. Radio, televizija, racunalniki in v zadnjem casu tudi svetovni splet so z leti podprli izobraževanje na daljavo. Raziskovalne studije o uporabi in ucinkovitosti izobraževanja na daljavo se skoraj izkljucno osredinjajo na visokosolsko izobraževanje. Nedavna sinteza raziskav kaže, da je manj kot pet odstotkov studij obravnavalo t. i. izobraževanje K-12. Zaradi pandemije covida-19 je izobraževanje na daljavo zacelo potekati tudi v solah in ucilnicah K-12. Izobraževanje na daljavo med pandemijo covida-19 se imenuje »poucevanje na daljavo v izrednih razmerah«, saj morajo ucitelji zaradi pomanjkanja raziskav, na katere bi se lahko oprli, najti hitre resitve v kar se da neidealnih okoliscinah, kar pri veliko uciteljih povzroca stres. Namen prispevka je odgovoriti na pet temeljnih vprasanj, tj.: s katerimi težavami so se pri izvajanju poucevanja na daljavo v izrednih razmerah srecevali ravnatelji in ucitelji;v kaksnih pogojih je bilo poucevanje na daljavo v izrednih razmerah ucinkovito od zacetka pojava pandemije covida-19;katere so prednosti poucevanja na daljavo v izrednih razmerah v solah in razredih K-12;katere so slabosti poucevanja na daljavo v izrednih razmerah v solah in razredih K-12;v koliksni meri bodo izkusnje, pridobljene pri poucevanju na daljavo v izrednih razmerah, vplivale na poucevanje in ucenje, ko se bo pandemija umirila. Prispevek se konca s kratkimi priporocili. V celotnem prispevku je poudarek na izobraževanju K-12.Alternate abstract:Distance education has been practised for generations, although its purpose and form have changed. Correspondence courses, in which students receive instruction via mail and respond with assignments or questions to the instructor, date back to the mid-i800s, if not earlier. As technology changed, so did the nature of distance education. Radio, television, computers, and, most recently, the internet have supported distance education over the years. Research studies on the use and effectiveness of distance education focus almost exclusively on higher education. A recent research synthesis suggests that fewer than five per cent of the studies have addressed K-12 education. The Covid-19 pandemic, however, has brought distance education into K-12 schools and classrooms. Distance education in the Covid-19 era has been referred to as emergency remote teaching (ERT) because, with little research on which to rely, teachers must improvise quick solutions under less-than-ideal circumstances, a situation that causes many teachers to experience stress. The purpose of this paper is to address five fundamental questions. First, what problems have K-12 school administrators and teachers faced in implementing ERT? Second, under what conditions has ERT been effective since the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic? Third, what are the strengths of ERT in K-12 schools and classrooms? Fourth, what are the weaknesses of ERT in K-12 schools and classrooms? Fifth, to what extent will lessons learned from ERT influence teaching and learning when the pandemic abates? The paper concludes with a brief set of recommendations. Throughout the paper, the focus is on K-12 education.

This paper advances our understanding of how schools can become change agents capable of transforming local practice to address the challenges arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. It presents a novel application of cultural-historical activity theory to reinterpret evidence on widespread learning loss and increasing educational inequities resulting from the pandemic, and to identify scalable transformative learning opportunities through reframing the crisis as a double stimulation. By reviewing evidence of the emerging educational landscape, we first develop a picture of the new ���problem space��� upon which schools must act. We develop a problem space map to serve as the first stimulus to articulate local challenges. Integrating this problem space with research on professional change, we identify conceptual tools to capture learning gaps and implement pedagogic interventions at scale, in order to enhance schools��� agency in directly addressing the crisis. These tools can act as the second stimulus, enabling educators to address local challenges. We conclude by discussing the Covid-19 educational crisis as a unique stimulus for professional learning and outline the potential for durable shifts in educational thinking and practice beyond the pandemic. We argue that this unprecedented historic disruption can be harnessed as a transformative professional learning opportunity. In particular, we consider how research on professional change offers local, scalable interventions and tools that can support educators in preventing the new insights from ���slipping away��� post-pandemic. Utilising the notions of boundaries and tool-mediated professional change, we examine the ways in which this disruption generates opportunities to envision alternative futures for equitable learning in school.

Der Beitrag geht anhand einer Interviewstudie den Fragen nach, wie Aufgaben und Schnittstellen im Schulmanagement ausgestaltet sind und wie funktional dies geschieht. Ergebnisse von 18 leitfadengest��tzten Experteninterviews mit Schulleitungen sowie Sekretariatsmitarbeitenden und Schulpflegemitgliedern werden pr��sentiert und forschungsbezogen diskutiert. Es zeigt sich, dass eine hohe Belastungsintensit��t sowie permanente Zeitknappheit aus Sicht der Akteure zwangsl��ufig zu einer Priorisierung der Sicherstellung des Schulalltags f��hren, wodurch schulqualit��tsrelevante Aufgaben systematisch vernachl��ssigt werden. Angesichts von Unklarheiten und Optimierungspotenzial bez��glich der Arbeitsteilung wird argumentiert, dass Schnittstellen einen entscheidenden Einflussfaktor f��r das Handeln im Schulmanagement darstellen. (DIPF/Orig.), With a multi-perspective approach, we explore tasks and interfaces in school management regarding their general arrangement and functionality. Results of 18 structured interviews with school leaders, secretary staff and members of school boards are presented and discussed. It can be shown that stress, workload and time pressure convey dysfunctional effects: Hence, the key actors prioritise continuity and provision of essential functioning of their schools. Therefore, tasks concerning quality management and school improvement as well as personnel management become systematically neglected. Furthermore, we identify various role-related ambiguities and potentials for improving task distribution. When reflecting on the derived theses, it is argued that interfaces constitute a vital impact on school management. (DIPF/Orig.)

"Multi-grade classes are experiencing a renaissance in the current German educational system. On the one hand, pedagogical reasons are discussed. On the other hand, the motto “short legs, short ways” as well as school organizational requirements play a decisive role. Considering the theoretical background of innovation-specific implications of multi-grade learning, the phases and conditions of school development, and the structure of professional action, the study explores how the initiation and implementation of multi-grade classes for pragmatic reasons are realized. The subquestions of the study investigate challenges of the school development process, action strategies and justifications of school administrators and teachers, their innovation-specific ideas of multi-grade learning, as well as supporting and inhibiting development conditions in the transfer of change to the individual school. For data collection eight school administrators and 16 class administrators at eight Bavarian elementary schools that had established a so-called “combi-class” 1/2 for the first time were interviewed. The transcripts were analyzed with the qualitative content analysis. In addition, an explicating document analysis was carried out. The results show that there are role-specific demands on school administrators and teachers. These are: negotiating and planning the initiation and implementation, leading and steering the development process at the individual school, and organizing and implementing the change, especially at the teaching level. The study provides an insight into individual school development processes as well as into circumstances of multi-grade learning that is ordered by school authorities due to demographic reasons or scarce personal resources. The study reveals how challenging it is for school and class administrators to broaden the age groupspecific (homogenizing) view. However, the data also show a rise in professionalization because of this school development process. Despite the top-down process of initiation, multi-grade classes can function as a motor for a changed approach to heterogeneity.", "Nicht nur aus pädagogischen Gründen, sondern vor allem unter dem Motto „kurze Beine, kurze Wege“ sowie aus schulorganisatorischen Anlässen erlebt die Jahrgangsmischung in der deutschen Bildungslandschaft gegenwärtig eine Renaissance. Ziel dieser qualitativ-explorativen Studie war es, mehr über das professionelle Handeln, die Handlungsbegründungen und den professionellen Handlungsrahmen der Schulleitungen und Lehrkräfte bei der Einführung von jahrgangskombinierten Klassen aus pragmatischen Gründen zu erfahren. Vor dem theoretischen Hintergrund der innovationsspezifischen Implikationen der Jahrgangsmischung, der Phasen und Bedingungen von Schulentwicklung sowie der Struktur professionellen Handelns geht die Arbeit der übergeordneten Frage nach der Gestaltung der Initiierung und Implementierung von jahrgangsübergreifendem Lernen aus pragmatischen Gründen aus Sicht der betroffenen professionellen Akteure/innen nach. In den Teilfragen eruiert sie die Herausforderungen im Schulentwicklungsprozess, entsprechende Handlungsstrategien und -begründungen aufseiten der Schulleitungen und Lehrkräfte, deren innovationsspezifische Vorstellungen von jahrgangsübergreifendem Lernen sowie unterstützende und hemmende Entwicklungsbedingungen beim Transfer der Veränderung auf die Einzelschulebene. In leitfadengestützten Experten/inneninterviews wurden dazu acht Schul- sowie 16 Klassenleitungen an acht bayerischen Grundschulen befragt, die erstmals eine sogenannte Kombi-Klasse 1/2 etablierten. Die Auswertung der Transkripte erfolgte mithilfe der inhaltlich strukturierenden qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse, die ergänzt wurde durch eine explizierende Dokumentenanalyse. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Handlungsanforderungen für die Schulleitungen und Lehrkräfte rollenspezifisch im Aushandeln und Planen der Initiierung und Implementierung der jahrgangskombinierten Klassen, im Führen und Steuern des Entwicklungsprozesses an der Einzelschule sowie im Organisieren und Umsetzen der Veränderung, insbesondere auf der Unterrichtsebene, liegen. Die Studie gibt einen Einblick in die einzelschulischen Entwicklungsprozesse sowie die Umstände demografisch und schulorganisatorisch bedingter, von den Schulbehörden verordneter Jahrgangsmischung. Es wird deutlich, wie herausfordernd es für die professionell Handelnden ist, den jahrgangsbezogenen (homogenisierenden) Blick zu weiten. Die Daten zeigen aber auch einen Professionalisierungsschub durch diesen Schulentwicklungsprozess, sodass Jahrgangsmischung, trotz der Verordnung „von oben“, dennoch als Motor für einen veränderten Umgang mit Heterogenität fungieren kann."

Background: Schools play an important role in promoting the health of children. However, little consideration is often given to the influence that headteachers' and school staff's prior beliefs have on the implementation of public health interventions. This study examined primary school headteachers' and school health co-ordinators' views regarding child health in order to provide greater insights on the school's perspective for those designing future school-based health interventions. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted using 19 semi-structured interviews with headteachers, deputy headteachers and school health co-ordinators in the primary school setting. All transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis. Results: Whilst many participants in this study believed good health was vital for learning, wide variance was evident regarding the perceived health of school pupils and the magnitude of responsibility schools should take in addressing child health behaviours. Although staff in this study acknowledged the importance of their role, many believed the responsibility placed upon schools for health promotion was becoming too much; suggesting health interventions need to better integrate school, parental and societal components. With mental health highlighted as an increasing priority in many schools, incorporating wellbeing outcomes into future school based health interventions is advocated to ensure a more holistic understanding of child health is gained. Conclusion: Understanding the health beliefs of school staff when designing interventions is crucial as there appears to be a greater likelihood of interventions being successfully adopted if staff perceive a health issue as important among their pupils. An increased dependability on schools for addressing health was expressed by headteachers in this study, highlighting a need for better understanding of parental, child and key stakeholder perspectives on responsibility for child health. Without this understanding, there is potential for certain child health issues to be ignored. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

34. Rektors styrning och ledning; frirum och korstryck : - Att organisera för samarbetet mellan fritidshem och grundskola

- Abstract
Syftet är att bidra med kunskap om rektors styrning och ledning när hen organiserar samarbetet mellan fritidshemmet och grundskolan. Frågor som ställs fokuserar hur frirum nyttjas och hur korstryck hanteras. Tidigare studier visar att rektors styrning och ledning, liksom undervisningens kvalitet, behöver utvecklas. Samarbete mellan fritidshemmets och grundskolans personal sker i låg grad och kopplingen mellan lärtillfällen är svag. Denna kvalitativa studie använde Frirumsteorin som teoretisk utgångspunkt och analysverktyg. Teorin utgår från konflikten mellan formella och informella styrnings- och ledningsmekanismer. Empiriskt material inhämtades via observationer och frågeformulär. Analysen gjordes utifrån kriterierna för kontinuumet uniprofessionell – multiprofessionell inom den professionella sfären samt kontinuumet differentierad – integrerad inom den byråkratiska/administrativa sfären. Resultatet visar att frirummet begränsades av yttre händelser och ett beroende av externt stöd. Ett ökat korstryck uppstod. Kulturen i skolornas ledningsgrupper beskrivs som integrerad och mestadels multiprofessionell. Avseende Coronapandemins påverkan syns inslag av uniprofessionalism. En slutsats är att en helhetssyn är mer framgångsrik för att rektorer ska lyckas organisera för samarbete och kompletterande undervisning. Vid förändringar, torde en integrerad skolkultur präglad av multiprofessionalism vara mest gynnsam. Studien uppmärksammar styrnings- och ledningsperspektivet; rektors roll för måluppfyllelsen i fritidshemmet, samt prövar en kartläggningsmetod med tillhörande begreppsapparat, vilka är teoretiskt och vetenskapligt förankrade i Frirumsteorin., The purpose of this thesis is to add knowledge about the headteacher´s governance and management when organizing the collaboration between Leisure-time Centre and compulsory school. Questions asked focused on how Scope for Action and conflicting pressure is met by headteachers. Previous studies show that the headteacher's governance and management, as well as the quality of teaching, need improvement. Collaboration between staff in Leisure-time Centre and the school takes place to a low degree and the connection between learning opportunities is weak. This qualitative study used the Scope for Action Theory as a theoretical starting point and analysis tool. The theory is based on the conflict between formal and informal mechanisms of governance and management. Data was gathered from observations and questionnaires. Analysis was made on basis of the criteria for the continuum uniprofessional - multiprofessional within the Professional Sphere and the continuum differentiated - integrated within the Bureaucratic/administrative sphere. The result shows that Scope for Action was limited by external events and an increase of dependence on external support. Conflicting pressure increased. The culture in the management groups is described as integrated and mostly multiprofessional. Regarding the influence of the Corona pandemic, elements of uniprofessionalism are shown. One conclusion is that a holistic approach is more successful for headteachers to succeed in organizing for collaboration and complementary teaching. In the face of change, an integrated culture characterized by multi-professionalism is likely to be most favorable. The study draws attention to the governance and management perspective; the headteacher's role for attainment of goals in Leisure-time Center as well as testing a mapping method with a conceptual framework, which is theoretically and scientifically anchored in the Scope for Action Theory.

Dieser Beitrag stellt repräsentative Befunde zu Karrieren von Schulleitung in Deutschland vor. Ein knappes Drittel der Lehrpersonen hat bereits über eine Schulleitungsposition nachgedacht, diesen Weg aber vorwiegend aus Gründen der Zufriedenheit mit der pädagogischen Arbeit und der befürchteten Beanspruchung nicht verfolgt. Schulleitungen ergreifen das Amt zuvorderst, um mehr Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten, Verantwortung und Autonomie zu haben. Trotz einer hohen Zufriedenheit mit der Arbeit insgesamt zieht derzeit ein Fünftel der Schulleitungen in Deutschland einen Arbeitsplatzwechsel in Erwägung. Die Befunde werden vor dem Hintergrund des virulenten Mangels an Schulleitungen diskutiert. (DIPF/Orig.), This article reports representative findings regarding the careers of school principals in Germany. Almost a third of teachers already thought about applying for a position as a school principal but decided otherwise, not only because they fear stress and strain, but also because they are content with their current pedagogical work. School principals choose their career first and foremost to widen their creative scope and to gain more responsibility and autonomy. Despite a high level of overall job satisfaction, one fifth of school principals in Germany has a turnover intention. The findings are discussed against the backdrop of the virulent shortage of school principals. (DIPF/Orig.)

Distance education has been practised for generations, although its purpose and form have changed. Correspondence courses, in which students receive instruction via mail and respond with assignments or questions to the instructor, date back to the mid-1800s, if not earlier. As technology changed, so did the nature of distance education. Radio, television, computers, and, most recently, the internet have supported distance education over the years. Research studies on the use and effectiveness of distance education focus almost exclusively on higher education. A recent research synthesis suggests that fewer than five per cent of the studies have addressed K-12 education. The Covid-19 pandemic, however, has brought distance education into K-12 schools and classrooms. Distance education in the Covid-19 era has been referred to as ‘emergency remote teaching’ (ERT) because, with little research on which to rely, teachers must improvise quick solutions under less-than-ideal circumstances, a situation that causes many teachers to experience stress. The purpose of this paper is to address five fundamental questions. First, what problems have K-12 school administrators and teachers faced in implementing ERT? Second, under what conditions has ERT been effective since the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic? Third, what are the strengths of ERT in K-12 schools and classrooms? Fourth, what are the weaknesses of ERT in K-12 schools and classrooms? Fifth, to what extent will lessons learned from ERT influence teaching and learning when the pandemic abates? The paper concludes with a brief set of recommendations. Throughout the paper, the focus is on K-12 education. (DIPF/Orig.)

Im Beitrag diskutieren wir die Aufnahme des Themenfeldes Personalführung und Management in das Lehramtsstudium über die Verankerung in den Kompetenzstandards und begründen, warum sein Fehlen als Lücke in der nötigen wissenschaftlichen Vorbereitung auf die spätere Berufsausübung gelten kann. Das Themenfeld Personalführung und Management in die erste Phase der Lehrer*innenbildung mitaufzunehmen, heißt für uns zugleich, zur Führungskräfteentwicklung beizutragen. Vor diesem Hintergrund skizzieren wir auch, was für einen möglichen Aus- oder Umbau der Curricula der ersten Phase der Lehrer*innenbildung von bereits existierenden MA-Weiterbildungsstudiengängen im Bereich Personalführung und Management gelernt werden könnte. (DIPF/Orig.), In this article, we discuss the inclusion of the issues of leadership and management in the teaching education programs by adding them to the competence standards and we explain why its lack prevents from a necessary scientific preparation for the later professional practice. For us, expanding the issues of leadership and management into the first phase of teacher education also means contributing to leadership development. Against this background, we clarify furthermore whether a possible expansion or modification of the curricula of the first phase of teacher education can derive ideas from existing Master programs in the field of further training on leadership and management.

This paper advances our understanding of how schools can become change agents capable of transforming local practice to address the challenges arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. It presents a novel application of cultural-historical activity theory to reinterpret evidence on widespread learning loss and increasing educational inequities resulting from the pandemic, and to identify scalable transformative learning opportunities through reframing the crisis as a double stimulation. By reviewing evidence of the emerging educational landscape, we first develop a picture of the new ‘problem space’ upon which schools must act. We develop a problem space map to serve as the first stimulus to articulate local challenges. Integrating this problem space with research on professional change, we identify conceptual tools to capture learning gaps and implement pedagogic interventions at scale, in order to enhance schools’ agency in directly addressing the crisis. These tools can act as the second stimulus, enabling educators to address local challenges. We conclude by discussing the Covid-19 educational crisis as a unique stimulus for professional learning and outline the potential for durable shifts in educational thinking and practice beyond the pandemic. We argue that this unprecedented historic disruption can be harnessed as a transformative professional learning opportunity. In particular, we consider how research on professional change offers local, scalable interventions and tools that can support educators in preventing the new insights from ‘slipping away’ post-pandemic. Utilising the notions of boundaries and tool-mediated professional change, we examine the ways in which this disruption generates opportunities to envision alternative futures for equitable learning in school.

This case study explores how Finnish primary school teachers orchestrated school days and how teachers and headmasters organised virtual workplace collaboration and collaborated with parents during a period of distance education forced by the Covid-19 crisis in Spring 2020. The data was collected by interviewing primary and secondary school teachers (n = 15) from eight schools in various parts of Finland. Teachers’ experiences were analysed with qualitative content analysis. In this study, the school is seen as a Complex Adaptive System (CAS) and the Covid-19 crisis as a disorder forcing teachers to adapt to a rapidly changing environment. Teachers are viewed here as innovators who address both pedagogical and digital challenges under abnormal circumstances. We identify diverse practices at different stages of digitalisation during the distance education period within four domains: 1) structures of school days, 2) forms of teaching, 3) collaborative activities of teachers and headmaster, and 4) forms of home and school collaboration. We also identify three groups of enablers of distance education practices: 1) the use of digital technology, 2) digipedagogical competence of the teachers, and 3) the ability of teachers to act as adaptive innovators. We find that teachers’ ability to innovate and to adapt pedagogical and digipedagogical expertise become critical success factors when change is forced upon the educational field. We suggest that the results of this study, portrayed as the enablers and domains of distance education, be utilised in planning post-Covid education. All stakeholders influencing schools at different levels should be included in envisioning and implementing future classroom practices of innovative post-Covid schools (DIPF/Orig.)

Im vorliegenden Buch werden Gelingensbedingungen für einen erfolgreichen Berufseinstieg als Lehrperson rekonstruiert. Der Übergang mit den pädagogisch-praktischen Studien als Vorbereitung und der Induktionsphase als folgende und erste berufliche Professionalisierungsphase wird fokussiert, wobei der begleitende Mentoring-Prozess besondere Berücksichtigung findet. Das Habituskonzept (Bourdieu) mit der Trias wahrnehmen – denken – handeln bildet mit der Integration der Resonanz-Diskussion (Rosa) und dem Kontingenz-Phänomen die theoretische Grundlage bzw. die Kernidee der Rekonstruktion: Habitus als Konzept der Professionalität. Die Datengrundlage der empirischen Arbeit besteht aus Interviews mit 25 BerufsanfängerInnen und 15 SchulleiterInnen, die multimethodisch nach der Grounded Theory, der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse und einer Clusteranalyse qualitativ untersucht werden. Die Arbeit schließt mit dem Ausblick auf konkrete Umsetzungsmöglichkeiten der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse in Curricula für LehrerInnenaus- und -fortbildung. (DIPF/Orig.)

Neben pädagogischen Gründen erlebt die Jahrgangsmischung in der gegenwärtigen deutschen Bildungslandschaft vor allem unter dem Motto „kurze Beine, kurze Wege“ sowie aufgrund von schulorganisatorischen Anlässen eine Renaissance. Vor dem theoretischen Hintergrund der innovationsspezifischen Implikationen der Jahrgangsmischung, des Phasenverlaufs und der Bedingungen von Schulentwicklung sowie der Struktur professionellen Handelns im Aufgabenfeld Schulentwicklung geht die qualitative Interviewstudie der übergeordneten Frage nach, wie jahrgangsübergreifendes Lernen aus pragmatischen Gründen an Grundschulen initiiert und implementiert wird. Die Arbeit gibt einen Einblick in die einzelschulischen Entwicklungsprozesse sowie die Umstände demografie- und ressourcenbedingter, von den Schulbehörden verordneter Jahrgangsmischung. Es wird deutlich, wie herausfordernd es für Schulleitungen und Lehrkräfte ist, den jahrgangsbezogenen (homogenisierenden) Blick zu weiten. Die Daten zeigen aber auch einen Professionalisierungsschub durch diesen Schulentwicklungsprozess, sodass Jahrgangsmischung – trotz der Verordnung „von oben“ – dennoch als Motor für einen veränderten Umgang mit Heterogenität fungieren kann.

With the development of inclusive schools comes a broad range of new challenges within the whole German education system. According to the different responsibilities in the educational governance of the German system, not only the state level but also the district level has an important role in the reorganization process towards an inclusive school system. This doctoral thesis thus aims at developing a set of educational indicators at district and individual school level that provides information about the inputs, processes and outputs of inclusive schooling, i.e. conditions and school organizational aspects such as experience in dealing with heterogeneity (special educational needs, migration, gender, etc.). Thereby it can also provide a foundation for continuous, largely data-based observation and analysis of the implementation process of school inclusion. This kind of monitoring can inform both German educational policy and the public regarding contexts, process characteristics, outcomes and benefits of inclusive schooling. The main question of the thesis thus is: What indicators can be identified to describe and reflect developments in the implementation of an inclusive school system at the district level? This is addressed by a three-step analysis, exemplified by a typical German municipality in North Rhine-Westphalia. (1) Starting with an analysis of available school statistics in the period from 2007 to 2015 (2), the results are supplemented by a quantitative school-leadership survey in 2016 (3). A synthesis of the given results marks the last step with a characterization of the transformation process at school and district level. The framework of indicators is meant to identify general problems and offer an empirical foundation for the information on inclusive schooling in German municipalities, thus providing valid governance knowledge for a holistic, coherent educational management as well as contributing to improve the quality of inclusive education at district level. (DIPF/Orig.), Die Umsetzung des Inklusionsgedankens konfrontiert das gesamte Bildungssystem mit neuen Herausforderungen. Entsprechend der föderalen Zuständigkeiten sind dafür neben dem Land auch Kreise und Schulträger in der Pflicht, die Entwicklung mitzugestalten. Derzeit gibt es nur wenig systematisierte Informationen über den Stand der inklusiven Bildung im Schulsystem auf kommunaler Ebene. Dies hängt auch mit einer weitgehenden Unklarheit zusammen, welche Bemessungsgrundlagen für eine Einschätzung der Qualität inklusiv arbeitender Schulen zur Verfügung stehen, insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund der lokal höchst unterschiedlichen Formen der Unterrichtsorganisation sowie ungleichen Voraussetzungen im Hinblick auf Ressourcenverteilung (personell, räumlich und sächlich) und Schülerklientel (sonderpädagogischer Förderbedarf, soziale Herkunft, Migrationshintergrund, etc.). Untersucht werden am Beispiel des Flächenkreises Paderborn die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen, die Entwicklung des Gemeinsamen Lernens im Bereich Schule indikatorengestützt abzubilden und Schlussfolgerungen für inklusive Schulorganisation und -planung auf kleinräumiger Ebene abzuleiten. Die Hauptfrage der Arbeit lautet: Welche Indikatoren lassen sich auf kommunaler Ebene identifizieren, um Entwicklungen in den Dimensionen Input, Prozess und Output bei der Umsetzung eines inklusiven Schulsystems zu beschreiben? Die Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage folgt einem dreistufigen Vorgehen. In einem ersten Schritt werden auf Basis kleinräumiger und einzelschulischer Daten der amtlichen Schulstatistik indikatorengestützte Analysen im Zeitraum von 2007 bis 2015 durchgeführt. Im Anschluss werden diese datengestützten Befunde durch Ergebnisse einer quantitativen Schulleiterbefragung im Kreis Paderborn 2016 ergänzt. In einem letzten Schritt erfolgt drittens eine Charakterisierung des nachgezeichneten Transformationsprozesses auf Einzelschulebene sowie auf kommunaler Ebene. Die Synthese der gewonnenen Forschungsergebnisse bildet den Ausgangspunkt für die Ableitung von aussagekräftigen Indikatoren und Desideraten einer Dauerbeobachtung des Gemeinsamen Lernens von Schülerinnen und Schülern mit und ohne sonderpädagogischen Förderbedarf. Wenngleich bestimmte Qualitätsaspekte schulischer Inklusion mit den verfügbaren amtlichen und den ergänzenden Schulleiterdaten nur näherungsweise indikatorisiert werden können, wird sowohl kommunalen Entscheidungsträgerinnen und -trägern aus Politik und Verwaltung, als auch Akteurinnen und Akteuren in den Bildungseinrichtungen ein breites Spektrum an Operationalisierungen zur Verfügung gestellt, um Ansatzpunkte zur organisationalen und systemischen Weiterentwicklung von Inklusion im Schulbereich auszumachen.

This study focuses on the exploration of leadership styles adopted by principals of special schools. Moreover, the study examines -in association with the leadership style- the degree of teachers' job satisfaction, as well as the extent to which the selection criteria for school principals are appropriate for the special education sector. In addition, the study aims to explore the possible relationship between the leadership style adopted by school principals and the level of teachers’ job satisfaction. Towards this scientific purpose a qualitative research was administeted, among 69 teachers who work in special schools in Northern Greece. Findings indicated that transformational leadership is the basis upon significant educational and organization issues should be addressed., SUBMITTED: AUGUST 2019, REVISION SUBMITTED: DECEMBER 2019, ACCEPTED: JANUARY 2020, REFEREED ANONYMOUSLY, PUBLISHED ONLINE: 15 MAY 2020

Welche Bedingungen gibt es für die gelingende Konstruktion einer praxisnahen Schulleitungsprofessionalisierung, die gleichermaßen attraktiv und wirksam gestaltet ist? Antworten auf diese Frage leiten die Autor*innen aus ihren Erfahrungen mit der Werkstatt „Schule leiten“ der Deutschen Schulakademie ab. Sie setzen damit einen Impuls für neue Forschungsfragen zur Professionalisierung von Führungskräften in Schulen. (DIPF/Orig.), What are the conditions for the successful construction of a practice-oriented professionalisation of school management that is both attractive and effective? The authors derive answers to this question from their experiences with the Werkstatt “Schule leiten” [Workshop “Leading Schools”] of the German School Academy. In doing so, they set an impulse for new research questions on the professionalisation of managers in schools. (DIPF/Orig.)

Dissertação de mestrado em Ciências da Educação (área de especialização em Administração Educacional), O Decreto-Lei n.º 75/2008, de 22 de abril, na senda da gestão democrática, e com o objetivo preambular de criar condições para a afirmação de boas e eficazes lideranças, firmadas num rosto unipessoal, introduziu novas dinâmicas de seleção e de responsabilização do diretor escolar. E com isso, a obrigatoriedade de os candidatos a diretor apresentarem um projeto de intervenção, como missão estratégica de ação. A presente investigação desenvolveu-se com o propósito de analisar e compreender de que forma, esse elemento base do procedimento concursal, o projeto de intervenção, assume pertinência na seleção e ação do diretor. Considerado no corpo de lei como um programa estratégico de missão e de definição das metas e orientações, o projeto de intervenção encontra-se entre o plano teórico de intenções unipessoais e a consequência operacional na ação do diretor, isto é, entre o “plano das orientações para a ação” e o “plano de ação”. Neste enquadramento, e complementado pela perceção dos atores escolares, o estudo incidiu no projeto de intervenção, como construção, e o seu papel no procedimento concursal, eleição e ação do diretor. O estudo seguiu uma metodologia de investigação qualitativa, de opção por um estudo de caso, e aplicada a um agrupamento de escolas, denominado de Agrupamento do Rio. Contexto organizacional marcado pelas dinâmicas de uma candidatura única de um diretor de continuidade. As técnicas de pesquisa utilizadas resultaram da conjugação da análise documental e da aplicação de entrevistas semiestruturadas aos representantes dos principais atores escolares direta ou indiretamente relacionados com a seleção do diretor, dentro e fora do palco de eleição por excelência, o conselho geral. A dimensão processual, eleitoral e operacional do projeto de intervenção, definidas nos objetivos do estudo, tiveram uma abordagem à luz de três modelos de análise organizacional, enquadradores e orientadores da presente investigação: burocrático, político e da ambiguidade. Dos dados apurados, conclui-se que num procedimento concursal de candidatura única e com um candidato de continuidade, o projeto de intervenção, assume-se com uma formalidade técnicolegal, com reduzida consequência a montante e a jusante da eleição do diretor. Constata-se, assim, que a quantidade e natureza das candidaturas tem reflexo nas dinâmicas de escolha e ação do rosto da organização escola., The decree-law nº 75/2008, of 22nd April, on the path to democratic management, and with the preambular objective of creating conditions for the affirmation of good, efficient leadership, of a unipersonal nature, introduced new dynamics in the selecting and duty of a school Headteacher. And with this, the obligation for the candidates for the post of Headteacher to present an intervention project, with a strategic plan. This research has been developed with the aim of analysing and understanding in which way this fundamental element of the application procedure, the intervention project, is pertinent in the selection and the actions of the Headteacher. Considered in law as a strategic mission plan and the definitions of objectives and direction, the intervention project finds itself between the theoretical plan of unipersonal intentions and the operational consequences of the action of the Headteacher, that is to say, between “the guidelines for the plan of action “and “the action plan”. In this framework and complemented by the perception of school players, this study focussed on the intervention project, as a construct, and its role in the application procedure, selection and action of the Headteacher. The study used a qualitative research methodology, as an option for a case study and was applied to a group of schools, named Agrupamento do Rio. An organizational context highlighted by the dynamics of a single candidature for a tenured Headteacher. The research techniques employed are the result of a conjugation of documental analysis and the carrying out of semi-structured interviews with the representatives of the main school players, directly or indirectly involved in the selecting of the Headteacher, in or out of the election stage par excellence, the school board. The processual, electoral and operational dimension of the intervention project, defined in the aims of the research, were approached in the light of three organizational analyses, framing and shaping this research: bureaucratic, political and ambiguity. From the resulting data, it can be concluded that with an application system with single candidature for a tenured post, the intervention project can be seen as a technical-legal formality with reduced consequences in the ups and downs of selecting a Headteacher. Thus, it is seen that the quantity and nature of candidatures has an effect on the selection dynamics and the attitude of the scholastic body.
