香港小學中層管理人員培訓需求研究

香港的學校近年推行多項教育變革，需要中層人員協助以領導學校發展。本文報導一項關於小學中層管理人員對培訓需求的研究，探討小學中層人員的工作現況、專業發展需要，以及優質學校對中層人員的需求。研究顯示，目前提供中層人員的培訓機會不足，中層人員對處理學校的人際關係、危機管理、資源管理和教育法律等課題有強烈的培訓需求。本研究建議香港教育局開設的中層管理培訓課程必須有針對性，其內容及方式應多元化，以滿足中層人員對培訓的需求。
In recent years, many educational innovations have been implemented in schools in Hong Kong. There is an acute need for training middle managers for schools’ sustainable development. This article reports on a study of the training needs of middle managers in primary schools in which their present situation, their needs for professional development and their requirements for quality school management and development are explored. The findings suggest that there are insufficient training opportunities for middle managers in primary schools and that there is a strong demand for interpersonal skills, crisis management, resources management and understanding of education ordinances in the management and training curriculum for middle managers. The study recommends that training programs should focus on meeting the specific needs of middle managers and the content and approach be multi-dimensional. Copyright © 2009 香港中文大學.
