理论、实践与研究方法:分布式教育领导的发展困境

Theoretical, Applicatory and Methodological Dilemmas in The Development of Distributed Leadership

分布式领导作为一种发展中的教育领导理念一直颇受关注,但现阶段其正遭遇理论、实践和研究方法上的诸多困境。理论上的困境表现为理论源流过于庞杂、术语泛滥、概念不统一,以及内部观点彼此冲突;实践中忽视了组织生活和管理中的一些重要因素,如组织中的权力、组织的边界和环境、组织的伦理以及领导者的报酬和问责;在研究方法上,单一的逻辑实证主义范式已经难以满足分布式领导的情境化认知的需要,研究需要转向关于领导实践和话语的人类学研究及多元化的研究。

There are many dilemmas in the development of distributed leadership. In theory, it has too many theoretical origins, too many parallel terms without united definition and with some contradictory propositions. Some important elements are often ignored in practice of distributed leadership, such as power in organization, organization boundary and context, ethics in organization, and rewards and accountability of leaders. Logical positivism paradigm is the dominant methodology in research of distributed leadership, but it has been proved to be deficient.
