Šiandien Lietuvos mokykloms reikalingi aukščiausios kvalifikacijos kompetetingi vadybos specialistai, turintys reikiamų žinių ir įgūdžių, nuolat tobulėjantys ir keliantys savo kvalifikaciją bei vadybinius gebėjimus, galintys daryti įtaką kaitos procesams savo mokykloje. Lietuvos mokyklų direktoriams standartai dar nėra nustatyti, tačiau anglų autoriai yra sudarę vadybos standartus. Siekiant išanalizuoti Nacionalinius standartus mokyklų direktoriams Velse, kuriuos leidžia Nacionalinė Velso Asamblėja ir atskleisti šios praktikos galimybes Lietuvoje, atliktas aprašas, kurio paskirtis – atlikti Velso ir Lietuvos mokyklų vadovų kompetentingumo vertinimo lyginamąją charakteristiką. Tyrimo tikslas - išanalizuoti Velso mokyklų vadovų kompetencijų vertinimo praktiką ir palyginti su Lietuvos švietimo dokumentais. Atlikus kokybinį tyrimą, buvo nustatyta, kad mokyklos vadovo kompetencija yra vienas iš veiksnių, lemiančių ugdymo kokybę, todėl būtinas valstybinis požiūris į mokyklos vadovo kompetencijos aprašą, į kompetencijų įgijimo ir tobulinimo sistemą. Siekiant aiškiau numatyti mokyklos direktoriaus veiklos modelį, siūlyti galimybę Lietuvos Respublikos švietimo ir mokslo ministerijai parengti standartus mokyklų direktoriams. / Today’s Lithuanian schools require highly qualified, competent management specialists who would have the necessary knowledge and skills, who would constantly improve and advance their qualification and managing skills, who could influence the changing processes at their schools. The standards for the Lithuanian school headmasters have not been set yet, however English authors give such standards. Seeking to analyze the Welsh national standards for the school headmasters, published by the National Assembly, and to disclose the possibilities of this practice in Lithuania there has been done a study, the aim of which is to make a comparative characteristic of the competence of Lithuanian and Welsh leaders. The aim of the study is to analyze the Welsh practice of evaluating the school leaders’ competence and to compare it with the Lithuanian educational documents. The qualitative study has shown that the school leader’s competence is one of the factors influencing the quality of upbringing, therefore the state point of view towards the study of the school leader’s competence, its acquisition and perfection system is necessary. Seeking to clearer determine the school headmaster’s module of activities, the possibility for the Lithuanian Republic ministry of education to prepare the standards for the school headmasters is suggested.

Magistro darbe yra išanalizuoti ir susisteminti įvairių Lietuvos ir užsienio autorių teoriniai ir praktiniai ugdymo įstaigų vadovų atliekamų valdymo funkcijų aspektai; analizuota kompetencijos samprata; aiškintasi vadybinės kompetencijos sąvoką; aptartos ikimokyklinio ugdymo įstaigų vadovų kompetencijos. Remiantis teorine analize atliktas vadovų vadybinių kompetencijų tyrimas Klaipėdos regiono ikimokyklinio ugdymo įstaigose. Išsamiai išanalizuotas ikimokyklinių įstaigų vadovų ir personalo požiūris į vadovų vadybines kompetencijas. Tyrimas parodė, kad apklausti personalo nariai geriau vertina savo vadovus nei patys vadovai save. Respondentai gana aukštai vertina savo vadovų vadybinį pasirengimą, asmenines savybes bei kitas vadovui būtinas kompetencijas, taigi paneigiama autorės iškelta hipotezė, kad ikimokyklinio ugdymo įstaigų vadovams trūksta vadybinių kompetencijų. / This master’s final paper analyses theoretical and practical works of various Lithuanian and foreign authors regarding management functions’ aspects of educational institutions heads’; analyses conception of managerial competence; discusses pre-school educational institutions heads’ competences.
