There have been an increase in the scientific investigations on
successful school principalship since 1980s, when effective school became the
focus of educational systems along with school accountability. The previous
research has revealed that school principal is one of the crucial factors
preceded by qualified instruction. In this sense, the purpose of this study is
to devle into the characteristics, professional identity and leadership
behaviors of successful school principals according to teachers, deputies,
students, and parents’ opinions. The phenomenological research design from the
qualitative studies was adopted in this research. Teachers, deputies, students,
and parents from successful schools in Amasya, Corum, Samsun and Tokat
provinces in Turkey were recruited through criterion and maximum variation
sampling methods. The data which were collected via a semi-structured interview
form was analyzed through content analysis technique. The findings show that
successful school principals mostly display paternalist, instructional, moral,
visionary, social justice, and culturally responsive school leadership
behaviors. Further, successful school principals have effective communication
skills, and are understanding, fair, and situational leaders.  Several recommendations for future research
have also been added.

Başarılı Okul Müdürü Kimliği Üzerine Fenomenolojik Bir Analiz: Alandan Sesler

Öz

Başarılı okul müdürlüğüne dair bilimsel sorgulamaların 1980’li yıllarda etkili okul ve özellikle eğitim örgütlerinde artan okul hesap verilebilirliği ile hız kazandığı görülmektedir. İlgili literatürde okul müdürünün öğrenci başarısı üzerinde öğretmenden sonra en önemli faktörlerden birisi olduğuna dair kanıtlar bulunmaktadır. Bu kapsamda bu araştırmanın amacı öğretmen, müdür yardımcısı, öğrenci ve velilerin başarılı okul müdürünün kişisel özellikleri, mesleki yeterlikleri ve sergiledikleri liderlik davranışlarına yönelik görüşlerini incelemektir. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden fenomenolojik araştırma deseninin kullanıldığı bu araştırmada Amasya, Çorum, Samsun ve Tokat illerinde ölçüt örneklem ve maksimum çeşitlilik örneklem yöntemlerine göre belirlenen başarılı okullarda görev yapan öğretmen ve müdür yardımcıları ile aynı okullarda eğitim gören öğrenci ve öğrenci velileri katılımcıları oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplamak amacıyla yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmış ve elde edilen veriler içerik analizi yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada başarılı bir okul müdüründe olması gereken en önemli liderlik özelliklerinin paternalist liderlik, öğretimsel liderlik, ahlaki liderlik, vizyoner liderlik, sosyal adalet liderliği ve kültürel liderlik olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca başarılı okul müdürlerinin etkili iletişim, anlayışlı olma, adil olma, mevcut duruma göre davranma gibi davranışlar sergiledikleri de araştırmanın diğer önemli bulgularındandır. Gelecek araştırmalar için önerilerle araştırma sonlandırılmıştır.
