Distributed Leadership Applications in High Schools in the State of Kuwait from Teachers' Viewpoints
International Journal of Leadership in Education, v23 n3 p355-370 2020
This study aims to identify different applications of distributed leadership at high schools in the State of Kuwait from teachers' perspectives. These applications include the supervision process, delegation of authority, school development, decision making and community partnership. A quantitative design has been employed, and data has been collected through questionnaires that included five main dimensions. The study sample consisted of 1210 high school teachers at six educational areas in Kuwait. The degree of practicing distributed leadership in Kuwaiti schools was low. The degrees of application related to distributed leadership in the supervision process and delegation of authority were medium. However, the degrees of application related to distributed leadership in the development of school, decision making and community partnership were also low. The study has concluded that training programs are needed for school leaders in Kuwait.
