Practitioners' Perceptions of Pedagogical Leadership in Primary Schools in the Czech Republic
International Journal of Leadership in Education, v27 n4 p894-908 2024
The role and importance of pedagogical leadership have been recognized in a number of research findings. In order to understand how practitioners in primary schools perceive the main features of pedagogical leadership in practice, a questionnaire survey was applied in five Czech primary schools. This questionnaire addressed eight dimensions of pedagogical leadership on a 9-point Likert scale from two different aspects: the importance and the evidence. Importance refers to the value given to the dimensions, and evidence refers to achievement and existence. Fifty partitioners participated in this research. The statistical analysis of research data revealed that, in most cases, the participative dimension of pedagogical leadership is considered the most important dimension. The research confirmed that pedagogical leadership should be a process of participation, learning and supporting that enhances the satisfaction of all stakeholders.
