Paper Session
Contribution
Researchers wish to improve the quality and effectiveness of education. The objective of this study was to investigate the way quality of education and educational leadership is understood and implemented in two vocational education institutions (for sportsmen and seafarers) in Latvia.
The study is based on the reference frame proposed by S. Gento for research on educational leadership and quality of education, (Gento, 2002).
The research question was: how quality of education and educational leadership is understood and implemented by the institutions’ director, teachers, researchers, and students? What are the main similarities and differences between them?
