Principal´s role in ensuring quality teaching

V prispevku se osredotočamo na pojem kakovosti pedagoškega dela in izpostavljamo vlogo, ki jo ima pri tem ravnatelj kot upravni in pedagoški vodja šole. V prvem delu prispevka opozorimo, da enoznačne definicije, kaj je kakovost izobraževanja, pravzaprav nimamo, saj gre za zapleten pojav, odvisen od mnogih dejavnikov. V nadaljevanju te dejavnike na kratko predstavimo. V drugem delu članka prikazujemo del rezultatov raziskave TALIS, kjer smo med drugim ugotavljali, kakšna je ravnateljeva vloga pri zagotavljanju kakovosti pedagoškega dela v odvisnosti od osnovnih značilnosti šole in ravnatelja samega.This paper focuses on the concept of quality teaching and emphasizes the role that a principal has as the administrative head and head teacher in a school. In the first part, we point out that there is no unambiguous definition of what quality of education actually is, since this is a complex phenomenon that depends on many factors. These factors are briefly introduced further on. The second part presents some of the results from the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS), where we observed, among other things, what is the principals role in ensuring the quality of teaching in relation to the basic features of the school and the principal himself/herself
