Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

教職はかねてから男女の差別がなく、平等な職業であると社会的に認知されてきた。しかしながら、女性管理職の増加は長年の課題であり、近年上昇してきたとはいえ、女性が管理職になることはいくつものハードルを乗り越えなければならない。そのハードルを取り除くために、教師が力量形成する場である学校組織に着目した研究はこれまでなされていたとは言いがたい。世界的に見ても、女性管理職が少ないことは、未来の主権者を育てる職業として適切とは言いがたく、本研究はそうした問題点を克服するひとつの研究になると考える。
