摘要

本定性研究旨在探讨在科威特集中管理的学校环境中,校长对社会公正的看法,以及他们在学校中促进学生学习的公平和平等时所面临的挑战。一些校长认为,社会公正就是确保每个学生,无论其背景如何,都享有公平和平等的机会。另一些校长则把重点放在创造一个包容和支持性的环境上。研究结果还显示,有限的资源、制度障碍、有限的自主权、缺乏培训以及一些部级法律,都是校长在促进公平与平等方面面临的挑战。原创性/价值本研究为校长在中央集权学校环境中促进学生学习的公平与平等方面所扮演角色的实证知识添砖加瓦,并试图缩小学校中社会公正领导力方面的差距。

Promoting equity and equality in student learning: principals as social justice leaders in Kuwaiti schools

Purpose

This qualitative study aimed to explore school principals' perceptions of social justice in a centralized school setting in Kuwait, as well as the challenges they face when promoting equity and equality for students' learning in schools.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 18 public school principals from Kuwait's six educational districts.

Findings

The results revealed that principals' experiences and unique perspectives shape their definitions of social justice within their schools. Some school principals see social justice as ensuring fairness and equal opportunities for every student regardless of their backgrounds. Others focus on creating an inclusive and supportive environment. The results also showed that limited resources, institutional barriers, limited autonomy, lack of training, and some ministerial laws are among the challenges that school principals face in promoting equity and equality.

Research limitations/implications

The findings are informative to policymakers and other educational stakeholders. Practical suggestions are provided to improve school principals' social justice leadership practices.

Originality/value

This study adds to the empirical knowledge of school principals' role in promoting equity and equality for student learning in a centralized school setting and attempts to reduce the social justice leadership gap in schools.
