Purpose

This literature systematically reviews articles published in “core” international journals on the topic of Indigenous education leadership over the period from 2000 to 2018 in four English-speaking countries, covering Canada, America, Australia and New Zealand, in which all of them have long colonial history and Indigenous population. These reviews provide insights into the nature of this emergent literature and generate many implications that required for further research in Indigenous education leadership.

Design/methodology/approach

In this study, a vote counting method was employed and a clearly delimited body of research on Indigenous education leadership was also identified. The vote counting method can enlarge the perspectives on the noticeable heterogeneity of Indigenous education leadership within the four English-speaking countries. This is the basic constitutive element for the development of a comparative literature in Indigenous education leadership. Moreover, this method can clearly calculate the annual number of articles about Indigenous education leadership, and the various methods used in the publications of Indigenous education leadership can be figured out as well, which helps to find out the different patterns of changes on Indigenous education leadership.

Findings

This study identifies the patterns of Indigenous educational leadership research across four English-speaking countries, which will contribute to the development of research in this regard.

Originality/value

This is one of the first studies about Indigenous educational leadership in the world. It will not only contribute to education practice but also leadership theory development.

在加拿大，美国，澳大利亚和新西兰探索土著教育领导力研究

目的

该文献系统地回顾了“核心”国际期刊上发表的有关2000年至2018年期间在四个讲英语的国家（涵盖加拿大，美国，澳大利亚和新西兰）的土著教育领导力主题的文章，这些国家/地区在美国，澳大利亚和新西兰都有很长的历史。殖民历史和原住民。这些评论提供了对这些新兴文献的本质的见识，并产生了对土著教育领导力进行进一步研究所需的许多启示。

设计/方法/方法

在这项研究中，采用了计票方法，并且还确定了明确界定的有关土著教育领导力的研究机构。投票计数方法可以扩大对四个英语国家中土著教育领导权明显异质性的观点。这是发展土著教育领导力比较文学的基本构成要素。而且，这种方法可以清楚地计算出每年关于土著教育领导力的文章数量，并且可以弄清楚土著教育领导力出版物中使用的各种方法，这有助于找出土著教育领导力变化的不同模式。 。

发现

这项研究确定了四个英语国家的土著教育领导力研究的模式，这将有助于这方面的研究发展。

创意/价值

这是世界上有关土著教育领导力的第一批研究之一。它不仅有助于教育实践，而且有助于领导力理论的发展。
