Abstract

Purpose

Pedagogical leadership (PL) has been regarded as the best leadership style in the education sector. Thus, the aim of this study was to develop and validate a pedagogical leadership scale (PLS).

Design/methodology/approach

Two distinct approaches (inductive and deductive) were utilized. First, a review of the literature was conducted, and then qualitative data were collected through interviews, and their responses were categorized into 40 items. These items were thematized using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) by involving 300 participants. To examine the fitness of the scale, the researchers conducted a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with 470 participants.

Findings

EFA discovered a total variance of 64.766% for four factors. In CFA, RMSEA, NFI, RFI, NNFI, CFI, GFI and AGFI values were accepted. The highest correlation was found among constructs of PL. Path analysis revealed PL affected social, professional, intellectual and academic capitals. The correlations between the PLS and psychological empowerment demonstrated the theoretically predicted relationships with these variables. Thus, with the initial evidence of a valid and reliable PLS, a pool of 32 items under 4 factors (social, academic, professional and intellectual capital) were developed.

Originality/value

Despite the management of childhood education requiring the practice of PL, it is underexplored in childhood schools, particularly to our knowledge, no studies have been conducted to develop and confirm the PLS in Ethiopia.

教学领导力量表的开发与验证
目的 教学领导力(PL)一直被视为教育领域的最佳领导风格。因此,本研究旨在开发并验证教学领导力量表(PLS)。设计/方法/途径本研究采用了两种不同的方法(归纳法和演绎法)。首先,对文献进行回顾,然后通过访谈收集定性数据,并将他们的回答归类为 40 个项目。通过 300 名参与者参与的探索性因子分析(EFA)对这些项目进行了主题化。为了检验量表的适宜性,研究人员对 470 名参与者进行了确认性因子分析(CFA)。在 CFA 中,RMSEA、NFI、RFI、NNFI、CFI、GFI 和 AGFI 值均被接受。在 PL 的构念之间发现了最高的相关性。路径分析显示 PL 影响了社会资本、专业资本、智力资本和学术资本。PLS 与心理赋权之间的相关性证明了理论上预测的与这些变量之间的关系。因此,有了有效和可靠的 PLS 的初步证据,在 4 个因子(社会资本、学术资本、专业资本和智力资本)下开发了 32 个项目。 原创性/价值尽管儿童教育管理需要 PL 的实践,但在儿童学校中对它的探索还不够,特别是据我们所知,埃塞俄比亚还没有进行过开发和确认 PLS 的研究。
