Management, Leadership, and Governance in Primary Education (Finland)

The significance of principals and school administrators as developers and leaders of educational institutions has been explored in many studies during the past decades. The Institute of Educational Leadership has been a part of several national and international research projects concerning educational administration and leadership. During the last years the research into educational administration and leadership has developed and expanded considerably. The research into educational administration and leadership includes many sciences, being truly multidisciplinary. All the fields in education – general education, vocational education, adult education, and early childhood education – are involved in the research programmes. The core discipline is of course education, but there is a strong emphasis on public administration, sociology, psychology, and management. (Institute of Educational Leadership)Peer reviewe
