My work is focused on the analysis of the talent education systém in GE Money in the Czech republic. In the first part I tried to explain the basis for the education of talented employees, which are obviously based on the foundations of business education. An important part was the explanation of the evaluation of education, which I determine the methodology by which I will proceed in their work. Methodology - the methods of data collection, data sources and types of research, which I looked, I describe in the second part of the work. The third part was the practical part - here I describe the organization in which I wrote the work, its organizational structure, training in business generally, and of course the various educational programs for talented staff. I here describe the results of my empirical research. This was aimed primarily at finding weaknesses and strengths of individual programs and the testing of hypotheses and determine whether the difference between the variance between the sample and control in their own self-efficacy.

Prior to 1994, public schools in South Africa were-predominantly bureaucratic organisations where the principals of schools implemented an autocratic style of management. Now education-has moved away from such a system to-a-democratic system- in-which staff participation is encouraged. After 1998, the-Department of Education and Culture of KwaZulu-Natal made it compulsory for the principal to inform staff on all procedures to be implemented in the rationalisation and redeployment process. The Department also encouraged staff participation in deciding on matters relating to the schoot The researcher undertook a research study in three secondary schools in the Phoenix- Verulam District to assess the extent to-which staff were involved in management decisions and whether this had been successful. It was discovered that problems were encountered when management and administrative responsibilities were shared with staff members. The researcher made recommendations to solve these problems and improve staff participation in the management of a school. / M

The focus is to examine whether the use of strategic planning, managers emphasize effective actions to deliver improvements in student learning, and privilege, what are they, and if this tool has helped to improve the performance of their duties. For this I analyzed the process of preparing this plan, 31 schools in the state of São Paulo, and had as a final product to produce a plan of action. The process of preparing of planning schools reflect on the quality criteria, published in the guidance material for the preparation of the PDE/Escola (Plano de Desenvolvimento Escolar School development plan/School), offered by the Federal Government, and use an assessment tool called SWOT (Strenghts, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats). Concluding that the selection criterion was the priority teaching and learning as a quality criterion of greater need for intervention, as well as actions that involve the best performance and teacher performance in the classroom, using different methodologies, conflict management and student learning. We noticed that management teams use strategic planning to take time to reflect on the reality in which they live. This study was limited in considering the qualitative research as a methodological approach. It shows, as an object of analysis, the chosen strategies to improve student learning in the plan of action built during the drafting process of strategic planning by schools participating in this research / Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo refletir sobre o papel do gestor escolar na perspectiva do profissional que entende a qualidade da educação como a promoção da aprendizagem dos alunos, e o uso do planejamento estratégico como instrumento gerencial para promover melhor desempenho na gestão dos processos internos da escola. O foco é analisar se, com o uso do planejamento estratégico, os gestores privilegiam ações efetivas para proporcionar uma melhoria na aprendizagem dos alunos, e se privilegiam, quais são elas, e se essa ferramenta contribuiu para melhorar o desempenho de suas funções. Para isso analisei o processo de elaboração deste planejamento de 31 escolas da rede estadual de São Paulo, e que tinham como produto final a produção de um plano de ação. No processo de elaboração do planejamento as escolas refletem sobre os critérios de qualidade, publicados no material de orientação para elaboração do PDE/Escola (Plano de Desenvolvimento Escolar), oferecido pelo Governo Federal, e utilização um instrumento de avaliação chamado FOFA (Força, Oportunidade, Fraqueza e Ameaças). Concluindo que a escolha prioritária foi o critério ensino-aprendizagem como critério de qualidade de maior necessidade de intervenção, bem como ações que envolvem melhor desempenho da atuação do professor em sala de aula, através de metodologias diferenciadas, gerenciamento de conflitos e da aprendizagem dos alunos. Foi possível observar que as equipes gestoras ao utilizar o planejamento estratégico dedicaram um tempo para refletirem sobre a realidade em que estão inseridos. Este estudo foi delimitado, considerando a pesquisa qualitativa como abordagem metodológica. Apresenta, como objeto de análise, as estratégias escolhidas para melhoria da aprendizagem dos alunos, contidas no plano de ação construído durante o processo de elaboração do planejamento estratégico pelas escolas participantes dessa pesquisa

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of constructivist learning process on preservice teacher education students&amp / #65533 / performance, retention, and attitudes in Classroom Management Course. In this study, an experimental design and a case study design were used together. The sample (n = 144) were third year preservice teachers at the Foreign Languages Education program at Middle East Technical University, Turkey. The experimental group (n = 76) was subjected to social constructivist learning process, while the control group (n = 68) was subjected to traditional instruction for eleven weeks. Data were collected through qualitative and quantitative methods. Findings show that posttest scores were not statistically different between the experimental and the control groups. However, a significant difference was found in the retention scores in favor of the experimental group. The conceptual change the learners went through was evident in their metaphorical images which tend to change from a more controlling image to images that depict leadership, sensitivity to individual differences, and student learning. Descriptive findings indicate that retention was fostered through constructivist activities that mainly included reflective writing, critical thinking, and problem solving. Factors such as active learning, meaningful and enjoyable learning environment, and the attitudes of instructors had a positive impact on student learning. Nevertheless, the load of reflective diary writing and portfolio preparation tasks, and collaborative work could be overwhelming and discouraging and these impacted negatively on learners&amp / #65533 / attitudes towards the course.

This research developed the first ‘Green’ model for primary school leadership, which aimed to address some of the actual and anticipated environmental problems through the way schools operate in the context of Curriculum, Campus and Community. It emerged through an empirical investigative study of eight English primary school Head Teachers who are pioneering environmental sustainability. A Post-modern perspective influenced the research methodology and helped to take a fresh and sceptical look at the leadership aims of primary schools in relation to the education system and general society. This involved a critical examination of the National College of School Leadership’s ‘Leadership for Sustainability’ and literature from the ‘Green Movement’. The findings suggested that leaders are needed with a certain kind of ‘Green’ values, knowledge and skills. Questions arose about how a type of ‘Distributed Leadership’ might lie within the new model and whether the model is feasible, given that the pursuance of its main objectives are not currently the priority of most schools. The thesis pointed to the need for a radical revision of what it means to be a primary school leader, in order to assist with the imperatives of a green sustainable economy which promises a better quality of life for more people. This is a ‘Big Claim’ for a small-scale study. It is hoped, therefore, that this modest thesis could be a catalyst for more wide-ranging research and thinking in this most vital area, in terms of education leadership’s role in securing the viability of modern civilisation.

The political, social and economic history of the Further Education and Training College Sector and that of the communities it serves influences the operation of these institutions. The history of „state aided‟ and the „state‟ technical colleges has resulted in some Rectors and some Campus Managers having different ideas regarding leadership and management. Campus managers who bring with them the style of a state technical college‟s past tends to follow a very rigid and autocratic management, while those who come from the state aided technical college‟s past tends to emphasize teamwork, delegation but autocracy as well. Getting these campus managers to devolve power to other lecturers in the FET College is somewhat a challenging task. With this in mind, the purpose of this dissertation is to determine the enactment of „lecturer leadership‟ by the classroom lecturers at one FET College, and to investigate what hinders lecturers‟ enactment of leadership in this context. Where leadership is enacted, I intend establishing factors that promote the successful enactment. From a theoretical perspective, distributed leadership theory underpins this study. As I have had little choice but to use the literature on teacher leadership within a schooling context, because there is no literature around the concept of lecturer leadership in the context of the FET College both locally and internationally that I came across. I have taken the liberty of adopting a term „lecturer leadership‟ which is most suited for the FET context. My study is situated within an interpretive paradigm because I worked from the premise that there are multiple truths and I wanted to understand the different interpretations of the world through the lecturer leaders‟ lenses. I aligned myself with Cohen, Manion and Morrison who write “the central endeavour in the context of the interpretive paradigm is to understand the subjective world of human experiences” (2007, p.21). Using a descriptive case study methodology allowed me to track the three lecturer leaders for six month period in the FET College where I worked to get a nuanced description of how lecturer leadership was enacted. The lecturers‟ responses were collected both as numerical data, through survey questionnaires, and textual data, through a focus group and individual interviews, journaling process, and observations. / Thesis (M.Ed.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2010.
