優化學校行政的行動學習

在推行教育改革的環境中，學校改善是一個經常被討論的課題；本文旨在分享一所學校優化行政的歷程。這所學校因應「外評報告」的建議，制定了提昇中層人員為發展策略之一；該校透過參與香港初等教育研究學會主辦的「優化小學學校行政」計劃，引入專業支援，進行適切的校本培訓及以行動學習方法去檢視學校的行政和溝通。小組同工在過程中以改善校務的學習心態，提高了對學校的歸屬感和得到專業成長。本文以敘事方式去回顧這個行動學習的經歷，並透過整理相關文獻、計劃資料和深度訪談，讓讀者了解個案的實踐知識。
School improvement is one of the heated themes frequently discussed in the current educational reform context. This paper shares the experience of a school using action learning as a strategy to enhance school administration. Based on the recommendations stated in the External School Review report, this primary school decided to strengthen the capacity of its middle-management as one of the school development strategies. In order to bring in professional support and expertise, the school joined the “Enhancing the school administration of primary school” organized by the HKPERA. It provided the school participants with relevant school-based training to conduct an action learning project on reviewing the school administration and communication. The school participants were eager to learn throughout the action learning process. Upon the completion of this project, the school participants gained improvements in both professional growth and a sense of belonging. This paper used the narrative inquiry approach in reviewing the experience and knowledge gathered by the school practising the action learning project. Copyright © 2012 The Hong Kong Teachers’ Centre.
