Leadership, Educational Administration, Emerging TopicsAbstract
The objective of this study is to examine current trends and studies in the field of educational administration and leadership. The frequency and significance level of articles published in educational administration journals were systematically examined in pursuit of this goal. This study seeks to comprehensively evaluate the current state by examining the trends in Türkiye and the global landscape through a thematic analysis of scholarly articles from local and international publications, while also comparing and contrasting the observed trends. Out of the themes identified in these articles, leadership was the most extensively researched category. Foreign articles placed a greater emphasis on leadership compared to local ones. School improvement and development, management and school psychology, administrative structure, and process themes follow respectively. The analysis shows that foreign articles often focus on themes such as racism, equality, female managers, and gender differences, while these topics are less prevalent in local articles. Local articles focus on addressing organizational conflicts and maintaining unity within the organization.
