THE ROLE OF PEDAGOGUES IN THE REALIZATION OF EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT

Pedagoški menadžment stručno je područje u odgoju i obrazovanju. Obuhvaća upravljanje, rukovođenje, razvoj te organizaciju procesa odgoja i obrazovanja. U provođenju pedagoškog menadžmenta se ističu uloge ravnatelja i pedagoga. Oni svojim kompetencijama utječu na smjer razvoja škole i na njeno funkcioniranje. S obzirom na njihovu važnost, ključna je međusobna suradnja kako bi se postigli što bolji rezultati i kako bi ustanova u kojoj rade postala pozitivno i motivirajuće ozračje za učenike, ali i za sve zaposlene. Cilj diplomskog rada bio je prikazati stavove pedagoga o provođenju pedagoškog menadžmenta u ustanovama u kojima rade te prikazati u kojoj mjeri surađuju s ravnateljima. U istraživanju su sudjelovali pedagozi iz cijele Hrvatske koji su zaposleni u različitim ustanovama. Proveden je anketni upitnik o procjeni zadovoljstva provođenjem pedagoškog menadžmenta i suradnje ispitanika s ravnateljima. Rezultati su pokazali da ne postoje razlike s obzirom na duljinu radnog iskustva i mjesta zaposlenja pedagoga, da su pedagozi osrednje zadovoljni provođenjem pedagoškog menadžmenta na radnom mjestu, ali i da u velikoj mjeri surađuju s ravnateljima u provođenju istog.Pedagogical management is a specialized field in education. It encompasses the management, leadership, development, and organization of the processes of education and upbringing. The roles of principals and educators stand out in the implementation of pedagogical management. With their competencies, they influence the direction of the school's development and its functioning. Given their significance, mutual collaboration is key to achieving better results and transforming the institution they work in into a positive and motivating environment for students as well as all employees. The aim of this master's thesis was to present educators' attitudes toward the implementation of pedagogical management in the institutions they work in, and to demonstrate the extent of their collaboration with principals. Educators from various institutions across Croatia participated in the research. A survey questionnaire was conducted to assess satisfaction with the implementation of pedagogical management and the participants' collaboration with principals. The results indicated that there were no differences based on educators' length of work experience or their workplace location. Educators expressed moderate satisfaction with the implementation of pedagogical management in their workplaces, and a significant collaboration with principals in its implementation
