This
is a critique of the article titled
“Values and Leadership: Theory Development, New Research,
and an Agenda for the Future”, published in
The Alberta Journal of Educational Research (2000). The author is
Paul T. Begley, professor of educational administration and also
head of the Centre for the Study of Values and Leadership
in the Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Ontario.
This
article presents an “updated account of values and valuation processes
as they occur in a school setting.” (Begley) It does not focus on
a sole study of values as an influence.
Three
sections form the structure of the article not including the introduction
and conclusion. Section
one reviews key concepts and a selection of findings in literature. The second one discusses the application of theory and research.
The third section reports on findings of recent researchers. The article concludes with some speculations
regarding future study of values and leadership.
Much
of the work that Begley refers to, is done by associates of the
OISE/UT Centre for the Study of Values and Leadership where
he is the head of the centre. To accurately critique the Begley
article, a specific format outlined as follows has been employed.
