“…Based on the seven-dimension typology of school leadership, J. Shen et al (2018) developed and validated an instrument that can be used to measure the collective effort of principals and teachers who exercise their own unique leadership to generate integrated school leadership. It is an instrument called 'Learning-Centered School Leadership,' which has the above seven dimensions or subscales ( Figure 1 and Table 1).…”

“…Their empirical research indicates that the instrument has sound psychometric properties, including using the subscales and the whole scale to predict school-level student achievement as measured by the state's standardized accountability tests (J. Shen et al, 2018). In other words, schools that have higher ratings on these dimensions tend to have higher school-level student achievement.…”

Educational reforms fail again and again. One reason for the failure is that educational reform stops just outside the classroom door. During the last 25 years, the dominant educational reform initiatives in the US have operated under the misguided conventional wisdom that the educational system is loosely coupled. With this model in mind, decades of educational reform efforts have focused on tightening the system. Based on empirical results we argue that the educational system is neither loosely or tightly coupled, but bifurcated in that (to borrow a metaphor from geoscience) it is comprised of two tectonic plates. The first plate consists of the state, district and school levels, and the second is the classroom, with a fault line between them. The theory of bifurcated system not only explains why past educational changes have stopped at the classroom door, but also raises the key question of how to bridge the fault line. We propose two principles for school improvement in the bifurcated context. The first principle is to integrate principal and teacher leadership, effectively bridging the fault line in both directions. The second principle is the school renewal process, helping transform the classroom practice by emphasizing implementation integrity rather than fidelity.

“…In their study trying to explain the school leadership of school principals, Shen et al (2019) emphasized the importance of data-informed decision-making in school leadership. The process of data-informed decision-making may be an important subject not only for school leaders, but also for teacher leadership.…”

Purpose: Teachers have exceeded the traditional teaching role and are now recognized as leaders who initiate and administer institutional change and renovation, and guide students within and beyond the classroom. The successful execution of this new leadership role that teachers have assumed requires teachers to be raised as potential leaders prior to their professional lives. This, in turn, necessitates the determination of the components that influence prospective teachers’ leadership orientations along with a better understanding of the nature of leadership. The main purpose of this study is to determine the influence of emotional intelligence on leadership orientations of first year students of the Anadolu University Education Faculty. Research method: Relational screening model is used to determine the relation between leadership orientation and emotional intelligence. The target population of this relational screening model study consists of first year students (n=854) studying at the Education Faculty of Anadolu University. Data from over 476 (56%) questionnaires was analyzed. Descriptive statistics and structural equation modelling were used for data analysis. Findings: The findings indicated a middle level significant linear relationship (r=0.59; p<0.001) between leadership and emotional intelligence. Implications for Research and Practice: In accordance with these findings, it is suggested that to increase leadership in education, programs supporting the development of emotional intelligence should be incorporated into teacher education programs.

“…App brands build standards of trust and reciprocity, creating prospects for involvement by helping consumers to remain associated with the brand and expanding their cognizance of brands (Gil de Zúñiga et al, 2012). This engagement has been considered a one/multi-dimensional (Shen et al, 2019;Verhoef et al, 2010) construct. It encompasses emotion (or affect), cognition, and social behavior.…”

Gamified interactions are extensively used in Language learning apps to make learning languages easier. Gamified interactions are the result of the game-like feature being used to co-create compelling experiences. However, there exists a lack of empirical studies on the efficiency of gamified interaction on brand engagement and brand relationships, which are the main constructs for assessing the métier and worth of the brand in the contemporary framework of language learning apps. The current study aims to fill the research gap by exploring the associations between gamified interaction features in Language learning apps, brand engagement, and brand-consumer relations quality parameters, namely Trust, Commitment and Satisfaction. The proposed conceptual model was validated utilizing the Partial least squares (PLS) structural equation model (SEM) with SmartPLS, using data collected from 152 respondents in March 2022 through an e-questionnaire. The findings showed that interacting with gamified achievement features influenced brand engagement positively and significantly; absorption and social interactions had a minor positive but negligible influence on brand engagement. Brand engagement exerted an affirmative substantial influence on Brand Trust, Commitment, and Satisfaction. Trust has a strong influence on Commitment; Commitment has an affirmative effect on brand satisfaction. These findings imply that gamified interactions may positively influence brand engagement and enhance brand-consumer relations quality in the context of Language learning apps. The theoretical and practical implications were discussed.
