A STUDY OF SELF-INNOVATION OF SCHOOL AND PRINCIPAL LEADERSHIP

本研究的目的是通过分析校长领导和学校组织结构的作用，明确学校改革观在制度和管理上的特点。我调查了茨城县高中的政策和管理，以及一所政府高中改革或创新的学校管理实践。第二，我访问了教育委员会，收集了政策文件，并进行了采访。第三，对一所公立高中进行了个案研究。我收集了资料，并采访了校长和老师。在此基础上，对全校教师和半数学生进行了问卷调查。作为研究结果，我从制度和管理的角度明确了学校改革的以下特点。首先，尊重学校自由裁量权的教育行政使学校改革成为可能。其次，在学校改革之初，校长领导是相当重要的。第三，专委会逐步引领改革，增强了改革的潜力。第四，从教育学和管理学的角度看，改革所获得的学校标志形成了学校身份，并带来了成果。
