Öğretmen Liderliği Ve Engelleri

Abstract

The research has been done so as to determine the obstacles preventing teachers working at primary and secondary schools from demonstrating teacher leadership attitudes. The data regarding the problem of the research has been gathered by means of literature search and interview. According to the teachers and the principals, it has been noticed that there is a considerable amount of similarity in teachers’demonstrating leadership attitudes. However, teachers focused on class-involved activities whereas principals focused on school-sized activities and discipline. In the context of teacher leadership,principal’s motivating teachers and providing an atmosphere of support are of primary importance. It has been stated that principals’ failure in providing the required atmosphere and facilites will lead to the fact that educational activities will have to be held within the borders of the classroom. The effectiveness of principals on teachers’ demonstrating leadership attitudes has been admitted by principals as well. However principals have been found to believe that teachers must be the first to pay effort in acquiring and demonstrating leadership attitudes and that principals will support them. Obstacles regarding leader teachership reveal similarities in respect of such components as principals, teachers and types of schools. Of these similarities are the most noticeable ones are: obstacles regarding school-culture, insufficiency in the process of professional development,lack in administrational support, shortage of time, teachers’ formal duties, lack of colleberation between teachers, insufficiency in the ambience of training and development and democratical reliance and participation, neglecting teachers’extra efforts. Among the above-mentioned obstacles, lack of principals’ support, democratical participation and insufficiency in evaluating the acquisitons are the ones teachers agree with much more strongly
