Abstract

The implementation of new engaging learning environments also calls for an innovative organizational culture. Still, there is not much knowledge about the leadership practices that foster such culture. The aim of this study was to investigate, what kinds of leadership practices can be detected behind innovative school culture and how such practices are related to the ways of teaching and learning. As a result, a wide variety of new leadership practices in innovative school context were revealed. Particularly practices of shared leadership were present, but also elements of strategic leadership could be identified. Interestingly, the interactive leadership practices seemed to foster new kinds of collaborative knowledge practices in different levels of school activity, for example, varying forms of team work and co-operation. The results indicated that an innovative school culture consists of communal and collaborative practices which are guided by practices of shared leadership. It is important that we take in account the surrounding organization culture when designing future schools. We should also be aware of the possible contradiction between the existing organizational culture and intended new pedagogical settings by arranging a comprehensive and collaborative design process. © 2014 Published by Future Academy www.FutureAcademy.org.uk

什么样的领导才能培养教学创新的学校文化

实施新的参与式学习环境还需要创新的组织文化。然而，关于培养这种文化的领导实践的知识并不多。本研究的目的是调查，在创新的学校文化背后可以发现什么样的领导实践，以及这些实践如何与教与学的方式相关。结果，揭示了创新学校背景下各种各样的新领导实践。具体来说，有共同领导的做法，但也可以确定战略领导的要素。有趣的是，互动式领导实践似乎在不同层次的学校活动中培养了新型的协作知识实践，例如，不同形式的团队合作和合作。结果表明，创新的学校文化由共同领导实践指导的社区和合作实践组成。在设计未来的学校时，考虑周围的组织文化是很重要的。我们还应该意识到现有的组织文化和预期的新的教学设置之间可能存在的矛盾，通过安排一个全面的和协作的设计过程。©2014由未来学院出版www.FutureAcademy.org.uk
