“…The founders of modern Turkey introduced the Law on the Unification of Education in 1924. This ended the duality of secular and religious education in the Ottoman era and linked all educational institutions to the Ministry of National Education (MoNE) (Bayhan & Gök, 2017;Gündüz, 2009).…”

Teacher leadership has attracted scholarly interest over the past decade because of its potential to build internal capacity for sustainable school improvement. However, the existing studies have mostly been descriptive and limited to qualitative studies, lacking in terms of showing whether and to what extent principal leadership might influence teacher leadership. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of principals' learning-centred leadership in fostering teacher leadership and the mediating role of teacher agency in Turkey. The study conducted a cross-sectional survey design. Structural equation modeling was used for estimating relationships among variables in the conceptual model.Findings demonstrated that principals' learning-centred leadership had a moderate but statistically significant direct effect on teacher leadership and a significant and moderate effect on teacher agency. Findings also highlighted teacher agency as a significant mediator in the relationship between principals' learning-centred leadership and teacher leadership. The research confirmed that principals' leadership practices with specific emphasis on teaching and learning were important for enhancing a school culture in which teachers' participation in decisions and their enthusiasm for undertaking leadership practices are supported.

“…These thinkers brought the understanding of biological sociology to the country with the translations they made. In the same period, Celal Nuri (see Aydin, 2007) and Abdullah Cevdet (see Gündüz, 2009) are seen to try to bring in Turkey the concept known as spiritual sociology in the West (Sanay, 2014).…”

This special collection, as is the case of most academic work, began as an interpersonal conversation between scholars, in this case over many small glasses of tea in a Turkish kahvehane (tea house). The nature of the discussion involved the idea that Turkish sociology was relatively under-appreciated among Anglophone sociologists, and that in the current period of globalization, it would serve the interests of sociologists in Turkey to garner greater attention from international scholars, just as it would be beneficial for scholars worldwide to know more about Turkish sociological perspectives on the types of social problems currently faced within Turkey (or the Turkish diaspora). The editorial team, Dr. Şentürk and Dr. Muschert, are very pleased to present this work, and to have played a role in bringing it from conceptualization through to completion. However, it would be remiss to fail to acknowledge that the project is a collective endeavor among editors, contributors, reviewers, and others who have offered support. In the spirit of inclusiveness, we offer our sincere thanks to those whose names do not otherwise appear in this collection, including our skilled cadre of blind peer reviewers, our skilled editorial assistant Dr. Sadia Jamil, and those at the Center for Open Access in Science (COAS) in Belgrade, Serbia, who publishes this journal. We clarify that our selection of Open Journal for Sociological Studies was deliberate due to its Open Access model, which fit our intention to bring the scholarship included here to the widest audience possible. Finally, our decision to publish in English language was similarly strategic as the language has become one of the most broadly used in global academic discourse.

“…The first period refers to an inaugural period and covers the time between 1923 and 1946. The important reforms were made in the area of education as education was regarded 'as the most important foundation of transformation' by the political and intellectual leaders (Gündüz 2009). The creation of a young, dynamic and modern state required the adoption of new values, perspectives and ideologies which should be conveyed through education.…”

Turkey possess one of the most vibrant educational systems in the World. This study specifically aims at revealing Turkish school principals' perceptions about the large-scale changes imposed by the Ministry of Education and the strategies they follow for coping with these changes. The study was designed as a generic qualitative study. Twenty principals from different schools at different levels were identified through snowball sampling and semi-structured interviews were conducted with each of them. The decoupling between change interventions and the needed change, inappropriate change implementation process, the passive role of the school principals in the design phase of change interventions are some of the major challenges that school principals encounter. The passivity of the principals during design phase put them into a state of reluctant activeness to find out resources, create readiness and adopt a mediating role between top authority and the teachers in order to implement the imposed changes.
