Organisationer investerar årligen avsevärda summor pengar i ledarskapsutbildningar enligt tidigare forskning. Ledarskapsutbildningen UL är en av Sveriges mest etablerade. Det är av intresse att studera hur utbildningens målsättning uppfylls hos dess deltagare. Denna studie är en kandidatuppsats i Personal och arbetslivsprogrammet på Högskolan Dalarna. Studiens syfte är att undersöka förståelsen för det egna ledarskapet i relation till UL:s målsättningar mellan respondenter som genomgått utbildningen år 2020 respektive 2022. Studiens utgångspunkt grundar sig i ett medarbetarperspektiv men resultatet är även av intresse ur ett arbetsgivarperspektiv. Tolkningen av denna kvalitativa studies empiri grundar sig i den begränsade tidigare forskning som finns kring en av Sveriges mest etablerade ledarskapsutbildningar. Åtta intervjuer med chefer inom kommunal verksamhet ligger till grund för studiens datainsamling. Respondenternas svar har sedan sammanställts via en tematisk analys. Resultatet visar att förståelsen för det egna ledarskapet i relation till UL:s målsättningar skiljer sig mellan respondenter som genomgått utbildningen år 2020 respektive 2022. En mindre skillnad mellan respektive respondentgrupp kunde utläsas gällande upplevelsen av dialog för att uppnå högre effektivitet. I den ena gruppen återger flera respondenter endast vad som bör göras hypotetiskt medan merparten av den andra gruppen ingående beskriver genomförandet knutet till faktiska handlingar och situationer. Respondentgrupperna kunde ej skiljas åt gällande reflektionens betydelse, dock så återgavs tidsbrist i det dagliga arbetet av samtliga respondenterna som ett hinder för utförandet samt prioriterandet av reflektionen. Den markanta skillnaden mellan grupperna återfanns i användandet av självinsikt för att utveckla det egna ledarskapet. Den ena gruppen beskrev aktivt hur de använde sig av självinsikt samt medvetenhet kring det, något som ej kunnat identifierats i den andra gruppen som endast återgav förmodade svar i form av vad som borde göras eller övergripande svar om hur ledare i allmänhet bör agera. / Organizations annually invest significant amounts of money in leadership training, according to previous research. The leadership training UL is one of Sweden´s most established. It is of interest to study how the objectives of the education are met by its participants. This study is a bachelor´s thesis in the Human Resources and Labour Relations Programme at Dalarna University. The purpose of this study is to examine the understanding of one's own leadership in relation to UL's objectives between respondents who completed the education in 2020 and 2022. The study's starting point is based on an employee perspective, but the results are also of interest from an employer perspective. The interpretation of this qualitative empirical study is based on the limited previous research that exists around one of Sweden's most established leadership educations. Eight interviews with managers in municipal operations form the basis for the study's data collection. The respondents' answers have then been compiled via a thematic analysis. The results show that the understanding of one's own leadership in relation to UL's objectives differs between respondents who completed the training in 2020 and 2022, respectively. In one group, several respondents only reproduce what should be done hypothetically, while most of the other group are involved in the detailed implementation of actual actions and situations. The respondent groups could not be separated as to the significance of the reflection, however, lack of time in the daily work was reproduced jointly by the respondents as an obstacle to the execution and prioritization of the reflection. The marked difference between the groups was found in the use of self-insight to develop their own leadership. One group actively described how they used self-insight and awareness about it, something that could not be identified in the other group that only reproduced presumed answers in the form of what should be done or overall answers about how the leader in general should act.

I denna masteruppsats studeras ett antal rektorers uppleveda effekter av utbildningen vid Rektorsprogrammet efter år1. Fokus ligger på hur det pedagogiska ledarskapet påverkas när rektor går utbildningen. Med rektor avses i denna uppsats den person på skolan/förskolan som är chef för lärarna/förskolelärarna och övrig personal, och som har uppdraget att leda verksamheten så att lärarna kan genomföra sitt uppdrag, d.v.s. att utifrån skolans mål säkerställa att eleverna når målen. Detta kan alltså även vara en biträdande rektor, en förskolechef eller en biträdande förskolechef. Med upplevda effekter avses den upplevelse av förändring vad gäller erfarenheter, kunskaper och lärdomar som rektorerna tar med sig från utbildningen. Studien undersöker inte de faktiska effekter som rektors utbildning leder till ute på skolorna eller om den leder till förbättrade resultat. Denna uppsats baseras på textanalys av reflekterande brev som skrivits av deltagare som påbörjade Rektorsprogrammet vid två lärosäten våren 2014. Detta görs genom ett hermeneutiskt förhållningssätt med en narrativ ansats. Den narrativa ansatsen innebär att, genom rektorernas brev, försöka fånga den betydelse rektorerna tillskriver sina erfarenheter från utbildningen. Dessa brev är förankrade i rektorernas kontext som skapats genom deras interaktion med sin omgivning i vardagen. Den narrativa ansatsen ökar förståelsen för rektorernas subjektiva upplevelse av utbildningen. Med hjälp av två perspektiv: pedagogiskt ledarskap och vuxnas lärande har empirin sedan analyserats med hjälp av ett raster i form av en ledarskapsmodell som bygger på en teoretisk modell där ledarskap förstås som något som tar gestalt relationellt i skärningspunkten där Ledare, Följare och Situation möts. Denna analys av breven visar att det första året av rektorsutbildningen primärt ger rektorerna allmänt ökad kunskap som de tillämpar i sina skolor och använder/sprider i verksamheten och att detta gör att rektorerna känner sig säkrare i rollen som ledare. Under det första året på Rektorsprogrammet handlar detta primärt om juridiska aspekter av ledarskapet. Det är tydligt att rektorerna upplever att de har stärkts i rollen som pedagogiska ledare under år 1 vid Rektorsprogrammet. Resultatet av denna studie visar att det inte primärt handlar om att via utbildningen ge rektorerna ökade ämneskunskaper utan snarare om att utveckla det pedagogiska ledarskapet och därmed skapa säkrare och bättre rektorer. / This thesis investigates what effects a number of Swedish school principals experience during the first year of the National School Leadarship Training Programme, focusing on how the educational leadership is affected by the education. The term principal refers to the person at a school/pre-school designated to lead the organization and enabling the teachers/pre-school teachers and staff to do their work, i.e. to make the students reach the educational goals. The term experienced effects refers to the sense of change in experiences and knowledge that the principals gain from the education. The thesis does not take into account the actual effects of the education at the principal’s organizations or if it leads to improved school results. This thesis is based on the analysis of reflective letters written by participants who started the programme at two different universities during the spring of 2014. This is done by applying a hermeneutic and narrative approach. The narrative approach means that, by analyzing the principals’ letters, try to capture the meaning that they attribute to their experiences from the education. These letters are based in the context of each principal which has been created through their interaction with the surrounding environment in the daily work. The narrative approach increases the understanding for the principals’ subjective experience of the education. By using two different perspectives: educational leadership and adult education, the material has been analyzed by using a raster in the shape of a leadership model based on the assumption that leadership can be understood as something that is taking relational form at the point of intersection between Leader, Follower and Situation. This analysis shows that the first year of the education primarily provides the principals with increased general knowledge which they apply in practice in their respective organizations and that this increased knowledge makes the principals feel stronger in their role as leaders. During the first year of the programme this general knowledge primarily relates to legal aspects of leadership. It is evident that the principals experience that they have developed as educational leaders during the first year of the National School Leadership Training Programme. This thesis indicates that the main effect of the program is not to increase the principals’ knowledge in specific areas, but to develop the educational leadership and thus create more confident and better principals.

This study analyses the Political Principles and the Educational Practice of Centro Sergipano de Educação Popular (CESEP) from 1988 to 1998. As well as its institutional nature, its social political role of formation of social movements in Sergipe, and of support for these movements. It interprets the Social Movements, Social Class and Work as explanatory categories for the investigated object. The reseach focuses on the formative processes developed in the educational programs of this NGO`s. In order to accomplish this, it starts with the interpretation of the NGO`s in the context of globalization, emphasising that in Latin America, Brazil, and especially in the Northeast, the apogee of the neo-liberalism, in the 1990`s, determined the new ways of social policies. The work follows the principles of Historical Science in the patterns of Critical-Historical Pedagogy. The conclusion is that CESEP reveals itself as an institution in tune with the neo-liberalism precepts when it comes to its insertion in the global movement proper to the NGO`s, moreover, it presents advances towards the transmission of an Education towards Citizenship , although it is still based on concepts of social rights in the liberal patterns. / O presente trabalho analisa os Princípios Políticos e a Prática Educativa do Centro Sergipano de Educação Popular (CESEP) no período compreendido entre 1988 e 1998, bem como sua natureza institucional, seu papel sociopolítico de formação dos movimentos sociais em Sergipe e de assessoria a esses movimentos. Interpreta os Movimentos Sociais, Classe Social e Trabalho como categorias explicativas desse objeto investigado. A pesquisa enfoca os processos formativos desenvolvidos nos programas educacionais dessa ONG. Para tanto parte da interpretação das ONGs no contexto da globalização, destacando que na América Latina, no Brasil e especificamente, no Nordeste o apogeu do neoliberalismo na década de 1990 determinou as formas de políticas sociais. O trabalho segue os princípios da Ciência da História, e está calcado nos moldes da Pedagogia Histórico-crítica. Concluiu-se que, o CESEP revela-se uma instituição sintonizada com o ideário neoliberal, no que se refere à inserção do Centro no movimento global das ONGs. Não obstante, apresenta avanços em direção à transmissão de uma "educação para a cidadania", ainda que baseada na concepção de direitos sociais nos moldes liberais.

The study highlights the knowledge content of the Swedish National Leadership Training Programme based on Basil Bernstein's conceptual apparatus. The aim is to investigate what knowledge is offered to the principal through studies at the state-regulated principal's program. Through a document study, a first step examines which knowledge is made relevant in the target document established by the Swedish National Agency for Education. In a second step, what knowledge is actualized and made relevant in course plans that each university has developed based on the target document established by the Swedish National Agency for Education. In total, 22 documents have been analyzed via a content analysis that has been applied. The results show that the Swedish National Agency for Education's target document has a controlling effect on the universities' self-determination to design their curricula. In addition, the results show that the knowledge content of the Swedish National Leadership Training Programme has some limitation in terms of supporting a school on a scientific basis. This is due to the way the knowledge is organized in the state-regulated principal's program. / Studien belyser kunskapsinnehållet på rektorsprogrammet utifrån Basil Bernsteins begreppsapparat. Syftet är att undersöka vilka kunskaper som erbjuds för rektor genom studier vid det av staten reglerade rektorsprogrammet. Genom en dokumentstudie undersöks i ett första steg vilka kunskaper som görs relevanta i det av Skolverket fastställda måldokumentet. I ett andra steg, vilka kunskaper som aktualiseras och görs relevanta i kursplaner som varje lärosäte tagit fram med utgångspunkt i det av Skolverket fastställda måldokumentet. Sammantaget har 22 dokument analyserats via en innehållsanalys som har tillämpats. Resultaten visar att Skolverkets måldokument har en kontrollerande effekt över lärosätenas självbestämmande att utforma sina kursplaner. Därtill visar resultaten att rektorsprogrammets kunskapsinnehåll har viss begränsning i avseende att stödja en skola på vetenskaplig grund. Detta med anledning av hur kunskaperna är organiserade på det av staten reglerade rektorsprogrammet.

This thesis examines the effects of the UGL course (Development of Group and Leader), a popular leadership training program in Sweden. The study analyzes differences in leadership styles, particularly transformational and destructive leadership, between leaders who have completed the UGL course and those who have not. Using a quantitative method, participants self-evaluate their leadership behaviors with the Developmental Leadership Questionnaire (DLQ). The results indicate that UGL participants report an increase in transformational leadership and a decrease in destructive leadership, although these changes were not statistically significant. The study highlights how self-awareness, a major component of UGL, can influence leadership quality. It also points to the need for further research with larger and more diverse sample groups to validate the results and establish statistical significance.

In order to fulfil its missionary task the church needs good leaders. However, there is a huge shortage of leaders and many of the people who step forward to fill the gap, are not trained. This study looks at what is needed in a training system to produce enough of the right kind of leaders to lead the church in fulfilling its missionary task. However, training people has little value if they are not going to be given the opportunity to take part in the ministry. This leads to the conclusion that the church does not only need the right training system, it also has to break with the Professional Church Model, so that the priesthood of all believers will not continue to be a theological assertion only, but become an experiential reality. In this light the study then evaluates the two major models used by the church to prepare its leaders, namely the Traditional Residential Academic Model and Theological Education by Extension. The evaluation shows that the Traditional Residential Academic Model has serious weaknesses. Theological Education by Extension introduced a new paradigm, namely in-service training. It overcomes many of the weaknesses of the Traditional Residential Academic Model, but it also has its share of problems. The Daystar Training Model is then introduced and evaluated. It takes the in-service paradigm further and overcomes some of the problems that Theological Education by Extension could not solve. The evaluation shows that Daystar has the potential to provide the leaders the church needs to fulfil its missionary task. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2009. / Science of Religion and Missiology / unrestricted
