ブラジルの公立学校管理職採用制度のあり方 -校長選考方法を中心に-

Abstract

In Brazil, there are three methods of selecting school principals. The first is designation, where the state and local governments freely indicate school principals. The second is election, where school staff, students, and parents can vote for school principals. The third is public recruitment (concurso publico), where school principals are selected by written examination and qualifications. This paper focuses on election and public recruitment and examines their characteristics from the perspective of democracy and professional certification for principals. Analysis makes it clear, first, that election is much more democratic than public recruitment. Second, however, when election is combined with other selection methods such as testing, certification, or both of them, it requires candidates with more specialized knowledge than election itself. Third, in election, the degree of reflection of the opinion of the school community is different depending on its usage in the selection process. Fourth, there are three patterns in the recruiting system of the board of directors: the first is that principals and vice-principals are selected independently; the second is where the selected principal chooses the vice-principal; and the third is where the principal and vice-principal are selected as one set.
