O knihe

A volume in UCEA Leadership Series
Series Editor: Michelle D. Young, UCEA Executive Director for the UCEA Series
The official book series of
the University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA)
This volume presents the results of a comprehensive study of educational leadership faculty and
the departments and programs in which they work. It reports the characteristics, activities, and
attitudes of educational leadership faculty members involved in university-based educational
leadership preparation programs in 2008 and provides longitudinal comparisons with data from studies conducted since 1972. The
findings are compared by type of institution and with respondents grouped by sex, race, administrative experience, type of appointment
(tenure-line or clinical), length of time in the professoriate, and affiliation with the University Council for Educational Administration
and the National Council of Professors of Educational Administration. Findings indicate that while the number of university-based
leadership preparation programs continues to grow, the average faculty size has declined. Among major trends are an increase in female
faculty members from 2% of the faculty in 1972 to 45% in 2008 and the reduction in gender differences in activities and attitudes since
the mid-1980s. Also, over the past few decades, there has been a significant increase in faculty occupying non-tenure-line positions,
having administrative experience, and focusing on leadership in general in contrast to a content specialization. These and other
developments have significant implications for leadership preparation programs and for
knowledge production in our field.
