Okullardaki Paylaşılan Liderliğe İlişkin Ampirik Araştırmaların İncelenmesi

Paylaşılan liderlik son yıllarda diğer alanlar gibi eğitim alanında da tartışılmaktadır. Kavram üzerine yapılan araştırmaların son on yılda gösterdiği sıçrama göz önüne alınarak bu çalışma kültürler arası bir bakışla eğitim alanında paylaşılan liderliğe dair 2005-2015 yılları arasında yapılan ampirik araştırmaları incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Yazarlar, paylaşılan liderlik üzerine geliştirilen kavramsal modelleri de göz önüne alarak esasen ilgili liderliğin eğitim kurumlarındaki sahaya yansımalarına odaklanmıştır. 18 farklı ülkede gerçekleştirilen 43 ampirik araştırmanın incelendiği bu çalışmada, içerik analizi sonucu elde edilen kavramlar ve temalar ortaya konarak paylaşılan liderlik uygulamalarına incelenen bazı kritik sorulara yanıt aranmaktadır. Alanyazını temsil eden kaynaklardaki araştırmalara konu olan paylaşılan liderlik kavramına ve uygulamalarına ampirik verilerle ışık tutan bu inceleme, paylaşılan liderliğin birçok farklı ülkedeki okullarda yansımalarını da ele almaktadır. Ayrıca, son bölümde ampirik araştırmalardan çıkan bulgular ışığında paylaşılan liderliğin doğası tartışılarak okuldaki öğrenmeye olumlu katkı sağlamak için okulların hedefleri, değerleri ve kültürünün ortak bir vizyon çerçevesinde paydaşlarca paylaşılmasına yönelik önerilere yer verilmektedir

A Review of Empirical Research on Distributed Leadership at Schools

Recently distributed leadership is on the agenda of educational researchers. Considering the remarkable leap in the number of studies conducted for the past ten years, this review focused on the empirical studies in educational institutions carried out between 2005 and 2015, with a cross-cultural perspective. Keeping the conceptual models offered in the literature in mind, the reviewers attempted to shed lights on the reflections of distributed leadership on the ground. Throughout this narrative review, 43 empirical studies conducted in schools from 18 countries were scrutinized through content analysis. Answers were sought for some critical questions on practicing of distributed leadership by presenting the emerging themes and concepts. Furthermore, this article presented practices of distributed leadership at schools on various countries in the lights of the empirical findings of the studies the literature. Additionally, in the final section of the current review, the conceptualization of distributed leadership with empirical outline was discussed, and some recommendations were offered towards sharing school objectives, values in a frame of collective vision for contributing to learning at schools
