This volume contributes significantly to the ongoing international
and Nordic paradigm shift in educational leadership research. It
advocates for going from a contemporary, mainstream functionalist
paradigm to a reflexive paradigm, based on educational values and
knowledge. The volume is built on the shared basis, that the
purpose of education is, and must be, fundamental for school
leadership practice. However, that is often forgotten in
educational governance and policy. The basis of the argument is,
that educational leadership needs to change from focusing on
effectiveness and narrowly defined accountability towards focusing
on leadership that is contributing to the general education of
students. That entails that leadership research need to focus on
complex perspectives like context, relations, trust, sense making
and social and human values, and less on control, outcomes,
accountability and testing. The volume reminds readers about the
need to raise awareness of the contexts of education and research,
be they political, cultural, economic or ideological. Chapters
analyze, discuss and compare research from Nordic educational
leadership research systems: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and
Sweden. The cross-system insights clarify the fundamental relations
between policy/governance and research/practice are and discuss
forgotten dependencies and opportunities.
