Live, Laugh and Love to Learn Turning Learning from Traditional to Transformational
2015
In recent years, educators and policy makers have been focusing on student achievement and well-being. After the great Pisa -success and glory, Finnish researchers have risen up discussion about future skills, school activity and motivation – fields where Finnish students haven’t indicated so well. Quickly changing 21st century challenges teachers to see life outside the school and recognize not only the core subjects but also the key skills needed outside there. When transferring from traditional to transformational education, one has to imagine new ways to think about teaching and learning. The research project, introduced in this article, focuses on transformational pedagogic and the que…

Contingent reward leader behaviour: Where does it come from?
2010
As many academics have pointed out, while researchers have learned a great deal about the effects of contingent reward (CR) leader behaviour, relatively little is known about its genesis. CR transactional leadership is traditionally viewed as an independent variable which exerts influence downstream. However, if we are to understand how to influence, improve or modify these downstream effects, we need to shift our focus upstream towards the study of transactional leadership as a dependent variable. In line with this reasoning, we put forward the hypothesis that a contextual variable (organizational learning capability) and a subordinate's characteristic (employability) are antecedents of CR…
Dilemmaer i skandinavisk korlederutdanning
2021
Within higher education, programmes in choral conducting are offered of varying kinds and at different levels, from dedicated programmes to single courses that are embedded in other music programmes. The choral practice field is varied; choral leadership is partly a generic music competence and partly a profession. The variety and social reach of the choral movement suggest that the educational offering in choral conducting should be manifold in type and quantity in order to supply the practice field with qualified conductors. n this chapter we take a renewed look at material from three previous studies: (1) a mapping of Scandinavian choral leader education, based on document analysis and i…
Interaction model: Reflexiv leadership in the face of tensions in the school’s practical day to day handling
2023
Author's accepted manuscript Rektorer opplever utfordringer i det å arbeide som faglig, pedagogisk og administrativt ansvarlig på skolen. Faglig, pedagogisk og administrativt hensyn kan fort komme i konflikt med hverandre og skape spenninger i rektors arbeid. Denne artikkelen undersøker rektorenes opplevelse av å være leder på skolen, og hvordan de kan håndtere disse spenningene. For å komme så nære rektorene som mulig er det benyttet reflektive livsverdensintervjuer. Resultater i denne artikkelen støtter tidligere resultater i nordisk forskning om at administrative oppgaver tar fokus bort fra utviklingsoppgaver og at det er spenninger mellom ulike oppgaver i rektors arbeid. For å illustrer…

Līderis kā vērtību nesējs
2016
Neskatoties, ka līderības fenomens jau ir bijis pētīts un aprakstīts zinātniskajos darbos, šis darbs atšķiras ar to, ka darba ietvaros tiek izmantots kvalitatīvais petījums ar ekspertiem, kas ir četri Latvijas valsts prezidenti – trīs bijušie un pašreizējais Valsts prezidents. Līdz ar to darbs ir unikāls ar to, ka apvieno vienuviet esošā Latvijas prezidenta un bijušo prezidentu viedokli un uzskatus par to, kas ir līderis, politiskais līderis un ko nozīmē būt valsts līderim. Darbā autore izmanto asociatīvo metodi un ekspertu intervijas. Darbs sastāv no divām daļām – teorētiskās un empīriskās daļas. Teorētiskajā daļā tiek aplūkots līdera, politiskā līdera, līderības jēdziens, līderu tipi, kād…
