“…Thus, in activity theory, the unit of analysis is the social, collective activity, which is situated within a community-based context, similar to the concept that distributed leadership is a collective social process (Larsson and Löwstedt, 2020) and that the unit of analysis should be the leadership activity distributed over multiple leaders, followers and the situation (Spillane, 2005). Tools include material and psychological artefacts and can be physical, cognitive or symbolic; rules include norms, policies or conventions of the community, which can either enable or constrain actions Distributed leadership (Spillane, 2006;Spillane et al, 2001;Vennebo and Ottensen, 2012) Ecological leadership (Harms and Leise, 2011;Toh et al, 2014;Wielkiewicz and Stelzner, 2005) • Leadership is emergent…”

“…An ecological perspective of leadership views leadership as a process emerging from interactions between leaders and followers as they mutually engage in problems to achieve a shared vision. From an ecological perspective, the ecological context and its social–cultural environment are more important than individual leaders (Harms and Leise, 2011; Wielkiewicz and Stelzner, 2005); expressed simply, leadership is a process that is inclusive of its context (Wielkiewicz and Stelzner, 2007).…”

Purpose: Leadership for the implementation of an educational innovation in Singapore was examined by integrating distributed leadership with an ecological perspective of leadership and analysed using the third generation of cultural–historical activity theory. Research Method: The study adopted the naturalistic inquiry approach of a case study of a cluster of six elementary schools in the process of diffusing an educational innovation over one academic year. The research team observed six open classroom sessions and two review sessions at the cluster level. A total of two Ministry officers, one Master Teacher, 10 school leaders, 12 key personnel and 21 teachers were interviewed. Findings: The use of cultural–historical activity theory as an analytical lens provided insights into how different activity systems at the ministry, cluster, and school levels interact in providing leadership for the implementation of the innovation, the tools utilised, the rules/norms which enabled or constrained the innovation's implementation, and the evolving nature of the leadership provided. The study affirms the value of incorporating an integrative perspective in the analysis of leadership and the value of cultural–historical activity theory in unpacking the distribution of leadership across interrelated activity systems, and in highlighting the temporal evolutionary nature of leadership.

Character values need to be given to students from elementary school to university. These character values can be integrated into the learning process for all ﬁelds of study, including Mathematics. The problem: How do you teach a mathematics teacher or lecturer in the Mathematics Education Study Program to integrate character values in the learning process? This study involved partner lecturer, namely Prof. Guo Yuanbing from Guangxi Normal University. As a result, tips were obtained if a lecturer wanted to integrate character values in the learning process. The tips: (1) Lecturers provide exemplary attitudes, speaks, and actions that reﬂect noble character. (2) Lecturers provide information to students about the character values developed by the university. (3) Lecturers insert the character values on mathematical tasks. (4) Lecturers are strongly advised to evaluate the growth of character values in students. Suggestion: Universities should provide regulations on the need for lecturers to evaluate the emergence of student character values.

“…The adults are teaching youth to be responsible so that these attributes will carry into adulthood, when the adults are not keeping true to what they are teaching. One would assume that those teaching about ethical practices would exhibit these qualities and exhibit positive behaviors from teaching character education (Harms, Fritz, & Rockwell 2004. ) Dr. Jeff Goodwin (1994), who has made several videos talking about the ethics in the show ring, states, "If we teach young people to make good ethical choices in the show ring, there is more of a chance that they will make good ethical choices in everyday life as an adult."…”

This study was designed to evaluate the perceptions of 4-H and FFA youth and their parents of the ethical nature of practices used in livestock shows. A questionnaire was designed to determine the ethical perceptions of 23 commonly used livestock practices. A purposeful population consisted of 4-H and FFA livestock exhibitors from Pennsylvania and West Virginia. A total of 109 youth and 67 adults were included in the survey. Overall the population perceived the 23 practices unethical. This study found significant differences existed between whether or not participants attended an ethics training course, gender and age. Participants that attended and ethics training course found more practices to be unethical compared to participants that did not attend an ethics training course. I would not be writing this thesis so thanks to my parents I joined 4-H. I would like to thank my brothers, Jason, Matthew and Billy for being there, helping me and making me aware of my dream. I would like to also thank my sister, Laura. Overall, my family always let me do what I wanted and that has shaped me today. Through all the 4-H experiences I realized what gave me a heartbeat and what it took to make my heart beat. Thanks to my other half, Russell. Because of his encouragement I was able to complete my Bachelor's degree and now my Master's degree. He gave me the motivation and the support from the past, present and future.
