The Headmaster of Educational Organization in Views of the State and Society

Master's thesis: "the Head of the educational organization in the views of the state and society". The study is devoted to identifying similarities and differences in the requirements of the head of an educational organization and reflected in the legal documents regulating his/her activities, and in representations of educational process subjects. The nature of the work: research. The subject of research: the specificity of the state and society notions about the head of the educational organization. To evaluate the positions of the head of the educational organization professional activity, a diagnostic Toolkit was developed, by means of which a survey of target groups was conducted, as well as an analysis of normative legal documents (state requirements for the head of the educational organization). The total study sample was made up of 1399 people. State requirements reflected in the normative documents regulating the head’s of the educational organization activity focus on economic, legal and organizational-managerial competences, while the humanitarian component of its activity is reflected in the least. The expectations of educational process subjects are characterized by an emphasis on person-centered care and cultural competence. State requirements and expectations of the educational process subjects connected to the professional activity of the head of the educational organization, as a whole are uncoordinated in nature. The greatest consistency between the state and society is observed in the realization of organisational functions by the head. The greatest disparity in the expectations of society members is observed between staff and learners, almost in all aspects of the head’s activity, except communicative, due to their different status in the educational environment.
