ABSTRACT

The current study adopted the Teacher Leadership Inventory (TLI) to understand the perceptions of mentor teachers and student teachers towards teacher leadership, and identify the variables which affected these perspectives. A one-way ANOVA was used to determine whether there were any statistically significant differences between their perceptions on the four factors of the TLI, as well as several demographic variables. Findings revealed that mentor teachers had significantly higher scores than student teachers on two factors; Shared Expertise and Shared Leadership. Further, the demographic variables of years of experience, nationality, and gender affected the mentor teachers’ perceptions towards the three factors of Shared Leadership, Supra-Practitioner and Principal Selection respectively. While years of experience affected the student teachers’ perspectives towards the Principal Selection factor. Therefore, these differences should be taken into consideration by teacher education institutions, mentor teachers, and school principals, specifically during the student teachers’ practicum experiences.

摘要

当前的研究采用了教师领导力清单（TLI）来了解导师和学生教师对教师领导力的看法，并确定影响这些观点的变量。使用单向方差分析确定他们对TLI的四个因素以及几个人口统计学变量的看法是否存在统计学上的显着差异。调查结果表明，在两个方面，指导老师的得分明显高于学生老师。共同的专长和共同的领导力。此外，多年经验，国籍和性别的人口统计学变量影响了导师对共享领导力，超实践者和校长选择这三个因素的看法。尽管多年的经验影响了学生教师对校长选择因素的看法。因此，教师教育机构，导师和校长应特别考虑到这些差异，特别是在学生教师的实习期间。
