Abstract

Strategic leadership is a critical issue for school leaders. Over the past few decades, strategic leadership studies in fields other than education have been implemented, but there is still a lack of studies related to strategic leadership in education. The purpose of this systematic literature review (SLR) is to provide a comprehensive overview of research related to strategic leadership in Malaysia, identifying any gaps in the literature as a reference for future research. This study was conducted systematically and the review was based on the PRISMA (Reporting Standards for Systematic Evidence Synthesis) method. This study selected articles using two leading databases, namely Scopus and Web of Science, and one supporting database, Google Scholar. A systematic review process, eligibility and exclusion criteria, review process steps (identification, screening, eligibility) and data analysis were conducted. The results show that there is limited literature on strategic leadership and from the literature there are three primary dimensions that are stated from a throughout the school and educational institutions viewpoint in Malaysia: (i) mission, vision and values, (ii) futuristic thinking skills, and (iii) leading a change strategy. Further research is also expected to develop a strategic leadership model of teacher leaders in the Malaysian context. This is important to expand research related to strategic leadership in a more complex way to gain a better understanding of this construct especially in Malaysia.

Abstract

More than ever, teachers play a larger and more significant role in society. This change in perspective has recognized pre-service teachers enrolled in teacher preparation programs as having the capacity to assume leadership roles. Despite the fact that many researchers have conducted research on pre-service teachers’ leadership, limited numbers of scholars have attempted to gather and conduct a systematic literature review on the same topic. This article seeks to address the aforementioned issues by compiling a comprehensive literature review of earlier research on pre-service teacher leadership published in English-based journals from 2020 to 2023. Through a theoretical discussion, the study synthesis aimed to uncover emerging research agendas for future research and to generate fresh perspectives on pre-service teacher leadership. The PRISMA writing standard has been used to guide this SLR's composition. Two primary databases, Web of Science and Scopus, were utilized to locate articles and relevant materials for this systematic literature review. A total of 22 articles were selected from the original 733 articles identified. Based on the content analysis done, this SLR has identified five main themes, which are "Teacher Development and Conceptions", "Curriculum Leadership and Teacher Education", "Women in Education and Leadership", "Leadership Styles and Teacher Impact", and "Mentoring and Professional Development". The findings underscore the evolving nature of teacher education, emphasizing the imperative for programs to prepare pre-service teachers to meet the ever-changing demands of contemporary classrooms and contribute meaningfully to national and societal goals. The study's implications can guide pre-service teachers to prepare more comprehensive planning and implement leadership in future education.

Abstract

Online classroom management is considered essential for promoting student learning outcomes and engagement. This study examines the relationship between online classroom management and student learning outcomes, with student engagement as a mediator. A cross-sectional survey method was employed to collect data via questionnaires distributed through Google Forms. Respondents were selected using multi-stage cluster sampling from six universities in Beijing, China. A total of 400 valid questionnaires were analyzed quantitatively using SPSS to address the research questions. The findings indicate that online classroom management positively correlates with student engagement and learning outcomes. Moreover, student engagement significantly mediates the relationship between online classroom management and student learning outcomes. The study validates the model that online classroom management, mediated by student engagement, positively influences university students’ learning outcomes, thus supporting the research hypotheses based on the relationships among the variables. This study contributes to the integration of theory and enhances the understanding of the relationship between online classroom management and student learning outcomes. Additionally, it offers insights for policymakers and practitioners on how to support online classroom management and improve student learning outcomes.

Abstract

The need for an effective leadership in assessment has become increasingly significant in the Malaysian educational context. This concept paper discusses the changing dynamics of educational assessment, emphasising the significance of classroom assessment in promoting student learning. The discussion initiates by delineating the diverse categories of educational assessments and emphasise the increasing significance of classroom assessment in fostering effective learning environments. In Malaysia, there is a noticeable shift from a traditional exam-oriented culture to a more holistic, learning-centred approach. However, this shift presents various obstacles, especially for teachers in successfully executing classroom assessment. Thus, this paper highlights the pivotal role of school leaders in facilitating and assisting teachers as they navigate these challenges. It emphasises on the need for establishing a strong assessment leadership model that acts as a framework for school leaders, enabling them to offer essential direction and support to their teachers. Although current frameworks and standards provide valuable insights, they frequently do not meet the contextual and contemporary requirements of the Malaysian education system. Therefore, this paper provides a foundation for future research and advocates for the development of a contextualized and contemporary assessment leadership model that aligns with both the current educational landscape and the nation's cultural context. A model that is anticipated to enhance the ability of school leaders to effectively support teachers in fostering a culture of continuous learning.

Abstract

In the current digital and information-centric age, the efficient management of school resource centers (SRCs) is vital for improving students' learning experiences and academic achievements. Despite this, many schools face difficulties in optimizing their SRCs due to issues such as limited resources, outdated management techniques, and inconsistent strategic approaches. This study seeks to identify the best management practices employed by SRCs in Kuala Lumpur to overcome these challenges. Using a qualitative approach, interviews were conducted with four key respondents: two library and media teachers and two educational technology officers from the Educational Resource and Technology Sector. Through thematic analysis, the research uncovered several essential practices for effective SRC management, including (i) strategic planning, (ii) systematic material organization, (iii) the provision of guidance and advisory services, and (iv) the implementation of benchmarking processes. The findings reveal that these practices are successfully applied in selected schools, emphasizing their importance in improving SRC management. The study stresses the need for structured and strategic management to enhance student learning and overall school performance. Recommendations for school leaders and policymakers include increasing funding, investing in professional development, strengthening policy frameworks, and integrating technology into SRC management. Additionally, the research calls for continuous evaluation and further studies to address the unique needs of SRCs across diverse educational settings in Malaysia.

Abstract

Ketua Panitia (KP) di sekolah rendah (SR) memainkan peranan penting sebagai penghubung antara kepimpinan sekolah dan para guru. Kecekapan KP dalam menyokong visi dan misi sekolah adalah penting. Namun, kajian tentang kepimpinan KP masih terhad. Kertas ini bertujuan untuk mengupas kepimpinan KP dengan merujuk kepada model kepimpinan KP yang dikemukakan oleh Harris et al. (2001). Tujuh elemen kepimpinan KP yang berkesan seperti yang digariskan oleh Harris et al. (2001) turut dibincangkan. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa elemen kepimpinan perlu diterapkan kepada KP bagi memastikan mereka memiliki kelayakan dan keupayaan untuk memimpin panitia masing-masing dengan cemerlang. Perancangan dan pengurusan kepimpinan pemimpin pertengahan (PP) di sekolah juga memerlukan elemen kepimpinan yang mantap. Kerjasama erat antara pelbagai organisasi seperti Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM), Institut Aminuddin Baki (IAB), Institut Pendidikan Guru Malaysia (IPGM) dan juga universiti adalah penting untuk memastikan keberkesanan kepimpinan KP. Kajian ini juga mendapati bahawa kepimpinan KP adalah efektif apabila elemen kepimpinan diterapkan dan diurus dengan teliti seterusnya dapat memberi impak positif kepada pencapaian pelajar dan prestasi sekolah secara keseluruhan.
