Abstract

The purpose of this research is to shed light on the educational leadership practices regarding school support services at the municipal level in Iceland from the point of view of actors from both municipal and school levels. Furthermore to explain how those views are shaped by the structural arrangements and human resources of the services, population density and geographical location. Leaders of municipal educational support services, preschool principals and compulsory school principals responded to a questionnaire about practices regarding school support services. A framework of desirable leadership practices was used as an analytical tool to measure this leadership. The findings revealed that leadership practices regarding school support services match poorly with the leadership framework. Human resources are important elements of the leadership practices regarding the school support services, but the services’ structural arrangements, municipal population density and geographical location are less so. It is suggested that it is necessary to focus on improvements in leadership practices in general, regarding the school support services. For that purpose, more engagement is needed in the development of professional capacity, and a focus on creating a shared understanding between the services and school principals.

冰岛市政学校支持服务方面的教育领导
本研究的目的是从市政和学校两级行为者的角度出发,阐明冰岛市政一级关于学校支持服务的教育领导实践。此外,解释这些观点是如何受到服务的结构安排和人力资源、人口密度和地理位置的影响。市教育支持服务负责人、幼稚园园长、义务教育学校园长回答了一份关于学校支持服务实践的问卷。一个理想的领导实践框架被用作衡量这种领导力的分析工具。调查结果显示,有关学校支持服务的领导实践与领导框架的匹配度较差。人力资源是学校支持服务领导实践的重要因素,而服务的结构安排、城市人口密度和地理位置是次要因素。建议有必要把重点放在改善一般的领导实践上,关于学校的支持服务。为此,需要更多地参与专业能力的发展,并注重在服务部门和学校校长之间建立共同的理解。
