Abstract

Background: Educational leadership perspectives are missing from existing literature related to school shootings, which have been dominated instead by experts in criminal justice, law enforcement, and psychology. Purpose: In this article, we systematically review the literature base on educational leadership related to school shootings in the United States to identify gaps and develop an education-specific, leadership-specific research agenda for the United States. Methods: This exploratory-topographical review follows standards for systematic research reviews in educational leadership. Through reviews of 16 core educational leadership journals, and online scholarly search engines for research and keywords, we identify gaps in the current inter-disciplinary literature. Findings: We learned that the research base on school shootings is multidisciplinary, with scholars across seven different fields taking different approaches. Second, we found that while many scholars are addressing the problem of school shootings, the research base on school shootings from education researchers and specifically within the field of educational leadership are limited. Implications: We discuss three ways in which educational leaders and leadership scholars can inform school shooting research via emphasizing relationships, school–community partnerships, and meeting the needs of the marginalized. We propose preliminary recommendations for an education-specific, educational leadership U.S. research agenda, and suggestions for preparation programs.

教育领导力与美国校园枪击事件的系统文献综述：建立研究议程

背景：与校园枪击案有关的现有文献中缺少教育领导力的观点，而这些文献主要由刑事司法、执法和心理学专家主导。目的：在这篇文章中，我们系统地回顾了与美国校园枪击案有关的教育领导力的文献基础，以找出差距，并为美国制定针对教育的、针对领导力的研究议程。方法：本探索性地形综述遵循教育领导力系统研究综述的标准。通过对16种核心教育领导力期刊的评论，以及研究和关键词的在线学术搜索引擎，我们发现了当前跨学科文献中的差距。研究结果：我们了解到，校园枪击案的研究基础是多学科的，来自七个不同领域的学者采取了不同的方法。其次，我们发现，尽管许多学者都在解决校园枪击事件的问题，但教育研究人员，特别是教育领导领域的研究人员对校园枪击案的研究基础有限。启示：我们讨论了教育领导者和领导力学者通过强调关系、学校-社区伙伴关系和满足边缘化群体需求来为校园枪击研究提供信息的三种方式。我们为美国教育领导力研究议程提出了初步建议，并为准备项目提出了建议。

期刊介绍： Educational Administration Quarterly presents prominent empirical and conceptual articles focused on timely and critical leadership and policy issues of educational organizations. As an editorial team, we embrace traditional and emergent research paradigms, methods, and issues. We particularly promote the publication of rigorous and relevant scholarly work that enhances linkages among and utility for educational policy, practice, and research arenas.
