Departments selected for this study are foreign language and mathematics due to the high ratio of full-time teachers and previous studies, which indicate math and language departments’ tendency to foster collaboration and instructional leadership practices rather than hierarchy. Vanblaere and Devos (2017) selected 32 schools for this study using stratified random sampling with consideration for the type of school and the geographical region. School leaders from each of the participating schools complete surveys to ensure that each math and foreign language department possess an appointed department head. 62 departments meet this requirement, with 32 foreign language and 30 mathematics departments selected for analysis in this study. Each department varies in size from 3 to 21 teachers, with the average department consisting of 9 teachers. Of the 248 teachers surveyed, 77 percent are women and 23 percent are men with an average age of 43.2 years. On average, the teachers have 20 years of teaching experience and 17.7 years experience within the current school. Survey participants academic subjects’ taught include 48 percent mathematics and 52 percent French with 83 percent being teachers and 17 percent of the participants being department …show more content…

Moreover, this research is one of the first to provide quantitative analysis of secondary departmental leadership characteristics and the effects on the PLC. This study adequately identifies appropriate subjects and departments using previous research. The selection of foreign language and mathematics is purposeful and founded in previous research such as that of Lomos, Hofman and Bosker’s (2011) study. Furthermore, this study is correct in controlling for gender, experience, position, grade composition and subject composition. Each of these controls is necessary to provide accurate information and avoids skewing data based upon relationship variables. Weaknesses of this study include the limited scope of the geography to only include Belgium and survey being administered only at the teacher and departmental levels. This study would be more encompassing to include other countries and prove that the departmental leadership techniques and effects are not unique to Belgium. Moreover, this study might have taken a larger approach and included a larger sample size with a ratio between teachers, departments with the additional third level of schools included. This would demonstrate the PLC variables at the teacher, department and school levels and indicate if departmental leadership is replicable. Finally, the

Many of my “ah ha moments” came in the form of connecting the puzzle pieces and seeing the decisions and actions through the new lense as a leader. The Virtues of Leadership article confirms student and teachers’ need to make sense of where they belong in the cultural framework of a school system (Sergiovanni, T. J., 2005).

    The text states, “The superintendent did have enormous power of initiative in virtually all matters concerning the schools: the appointment of staff, the selection of textbooks, plans and contracts for buildings, the determination of the curriculum, and normal decisions about everyday running of the schools” (159). When examining the formal education of our current educational institutions, it is evident that the power structure lies with superintendents, school boards and principals who share expectations on how classrooms should be run as well as decision making for the betterment of the institution and students. Overall, formal education has evolved and will continue to evolve as educators search for their perception of the “one best system” for their students. Throughout the history of education, power structure and social class matters have influenced how educators implement regulations, interact with community members and fellow educators, but most importantly, the education of students so that they may be instilled with the skills and confidence to further themselves as

    Psychoanalytic        Theoretical Views Name of theory: Psychoanalytic Theory Founder of the theory: Sigmund Freud View of human nature (include innate capacities/capabilities and motivational constructs): Sigmund Freud viewed human nature as being deterministic and influenced by both sexual energy and instincts (Corey, 2017). He further identifies that soon after birth instincts drive our desire and force internal motivations into the reality of which we live. Although unconscious desires are the driving forces of existence in the beginning, it does not remain the only force through out our lives. We begin to develop into a conscious being as we recognize the world around us. Our external world introduces the conscious mind by showing us moral code, paternal expectations, and presumptions of societal ideology.

    Sigmund Freud and his theories on childhood development were extremely popular and widely accepted all the way up until the 1960s (Felluga). Freud put great emphasis on the impact early childhood development had on becoming a well-adjusted adult. He claims, “The structure of the psyche receives its final form during childhood, specifically at the time of the Oedipus complex” (U. of California). This complex is essential in identifying with either the mother or father, in order to establish sexual orientation (Felluga). During this stage, from ages 4-7, the child finds ways to deal with separation anxiety, and it is also the time that the ego fully matures into the superego: “an internalization of the parental function that eventually manifested itself in your conscience” (Cherry).

We are implementing PLC’s in our school and this allows us to take on leadership roles.

    Critiques of Freud’s psychosexual theory of development The biggest criticism of Freud’s theory is that it is too much focused on human sexuality. Many psychologists say that when Freud create this theory, he mainly collected information about his adult patients not through observations or study of children. Instead of conducting empirical researches he based this theory upon case studies. Additionally, Feminists believe that it is excessively dependent upon male perspectives and very rarely Freud has related and communicated the female desires.

  • Sigmund Freud's Theory Of Personality

    1573 Words  | 7 Pages

    In 1923, Sigmund Freud proposed his theory that the make-up of an individual’s personality is largely governed by three fundamental components: the id, the ego, and the superego. Working through the unconscious and shaping behavior according to psychological fixations and conflicts or lack thereof, these elements evolve through five levels of psychosexual development (Freud, 1962). However, in spite of its compelling approach to the phenomenon, Freud’s structural theory of personality is riddled with limitations and as such, is subject to much criticism. The mind is layered into three states: the conscious, referring to the thoughts currently in our forefront; the preconscious, idle thoughts that can be easily accessed and brought to the conscious; and the unconscious, which houses the more instinctual drives that are repressed because it threatens the conscious’ equilibrium (Cloninger, 1996).
