Educational Leadership and Innovation: Systematising the Evidence

教育创新对于促进学校的改进和可持续发展至关重要。创新可以导致结构和功能的变化，与实验和寻找教育儿童的新方法和想法密切相关，并最终在课堂上实施。学校中广泛的创新主要是由教育领导推动的，这影响到教学的条件以及教学本身，并对学生的成绩产生影响。虽然学校的领导力和创新受到越来越多的关注，但缺乏系统的审查和元分析，系统和透明地综合这两个问题之间的关系和基本假设，使基于证据的决策。此外，关于教育创新的研究很少与主流创新研究联系起来，这使得衡量教育创新成为一项开创性的工作。在此背景下，本项目旨在系统地审查关于这一主题的知识状态，并根据荟萃分析方法得出可靠的结果。该项目将进行三种类型的分析：1。系统评价，2。传统的荟萃分析，3。元分析结构方程模型后者将使用国际大规模评价研究的数据。

Innovation in education is crucial for promoting improvement and sustainable development in schools. Innovation can lead to changes in structure and functioning, is closely linked to experimentation and the search for new approaches and ideas for educating children, and is ultimately implemented at the classroom level. Widespread innovation in schools is primarily driven by educational leadership, which affects the conditions under which teaching takes place, as well as the teaching itself, and has an impact on student achievement. Although leadership and innovation in schools are receiving increasing attention, there is a lack of systematic reviews and meta-analyses that systematically and transparently synthesise the relationship between these two issues and the underlying assumptions that would enable evidence-based decision making. In addition, research on educational innovation is rarely linked to mainstream innovation research, making the measurement of innovation in education a pioneering endeavour. Against this background, this project aims to systematically review the state of knowledge on this topic and to produce robust findings based on meta-analytic methods. The project will carry out three types of analyses: 1. systematic reviews, 2. traditional meta-analyses, 3. meta-analytic structural equation modelling. The latter will use data from international large-scale evaluation studies.
