The theoretical analysis of the activity of basic education schools acting under the conditions of reforms has been carried out in this research. The obstacles of the realization of reforms and the decrease of the resistance for changes have been presented. The following hypothesis: It seems likely that individual features of teachers and managerial abilities of leaders while controlling alterations determine reducing the resistance for alterations at comprehensive schools. Conservatism of pedagogues, incomprehension of novation meaning and lack of information stops the coming of novations to comprehensive schools. That is why the education of pedagogues is so important aspect. Also the interaction based on leaders and pedagogues principle of collegiality, solutions of problems concerned with coming innovation on purpose avoiding any resistance while implanting novations is really required. 150 directors from various basic education schools in Lithuania had participated in this research (kindergartens, primary schools, secondary schools and gymnasiums). The research was performed in 2009-2010. The most important findings of this research: 1. Mostly teachers resist for educational alterations at modern-day schools regarding their own individual features. Leaders mark the threat of teachers’ indetermination, fear to risk, too narrow view to problem, incompetence to identify problem, no forwardness to predictable alterations, lack of teachers competences, conservatism of teachers. However pedagogues’ disinterest in novations and lack of information leaders envisage as the biggest problem. 2. Leaders’ endeavour to involve the employees into planning of alterations and implementation in order to improve and accomplish the knowledge and competences of pedagogues doesn’t refill the repertory of pedagogues’ positive behaviour. 3. Leaders do not use enough their own managerial abilities while informing pedagogues in case to seek effective communication and initiate the alteration in educational institutions. |
