1946-2022 Yılları Arasında Yayımlanmış Müdür Yardımcılığı Konulu Makalelerin Bibliyometrik Analizi

Abstract

Müdür yardımcılığı, okulların işleyişinde kritik bir pozisyondur. Ne var ki literatürde sorumluluk ve işlevlerinin önemi ile eşdeğer bir ilgi görmemektedir. Diğer taraftan özellikle COVİD19 salgını eğitim, okul ve okul yönetimini derinden etkilemiştir. Son birkaç 10 yılda süregelen değişim dalgası, salgın ile ortaya çıkan olağanüstü dönemde belirginleşmiştir. Bu dönüşüm döngüsü içinde araştırmacıların, müdür yardımcılığı konusuna ne düzeyde bir ilgi gösterdikleri, hangi açılardan ele aldıkları ve hangi sonuçlara odaklandıkları, müdür yardımcılığının dönüşümünü anlamaya yardımcı olabilir. Bu amaçla 1946-2022 yılları arasında hakemli dergilerde yayımlanan ve SCOPUS’ta taranan makalelerin bibliyometrik analizi yapılmıştır. Nicelik, etki ve kapsam bakımından yapılan analiz sonucunda müdür yardımcılığı konulu makalelerin son yıllarda sayıca arttığı görülmüştür. Çoğunlukla ABD ve Birleşik Krallık’ta yayımlanan makalelerde liderlik, roller, kişisel yetkinlik, bağlam, örgüt psikolojisi, kariyer ve mesleki gelişim konularına odaklanıldığı görülmüştür.

Bibliometric Analysis of the Articles on Assistant Principalship Published Between 1946-2022

Abstract

Assistant principalship is a critical position in the functioning of schools. However, it does not receive equal attention in the literature with the importance of its responsibilities and functions. On the other hand, especially the COVID-19 pandemic has deeply affected education, school and school administration. The ongoing wave of change in the last few decades has become evident in the extraordinary period that emerged with the pandemic. In this transformation cycle, the level of interest researchers show to the subject of assistant principalship, the aspects of their approach to assistant principals and what results they focus on can help to understand the transformation of assistant principalship. For this purpose, bibliometric analysis of articles published in peer-reviewed journals between 1946-2022 and indexed in SCOPUS was performed. As a result of the analysis made in terms of quantity, impact and scope, it has been seen that the number of articles on assistant principalship has increased in recent years. It was observed that the articles published mostly in the USA and the UK focused on leadership, roles, personal competence, context, organizational psychology, career and professional development.
