《變革與衝突：初任校長實踐學習型組織的挑戰》

摘要
自香港回歸以來，教育局推動了不同類型的改革措施，改革範疇從課程以至學校架構等，這對教師工作及其教學信念之影響尤深，然而改革卻未必能贏得校內所有教師之認同。作為學校領導，校長是帶領學校變革，落實教改措施的關鍵。近年適逢香港中小學面臨校長退休潮，學校領導之責落在眾多初任校長身上，亦為教改添加隱憂。

為瞭解初任校長帶領學校變革之困難，本文對學校變革的相關文獻作系統梳理與述評，並環繞學者 Senge 提出的學習型組織理論，討論其變革管理的主張與在校實踐的差距，從而揭示初任校長帶領變革的挑戰及潛在衝突，為未來各校討論建立學習型組織及學校變革提供更深入反思的平台。

Reform and conflict: The challenge of novice principals in the development of learning organization

Abstract
Since 1997, Education Bureau of Hong Kong has launched the school reform measures in various aspects, from curriculum reform to school restructuring, which required a fundamental change in teachers’ belief about teaching and learning. Yet, the reform may not reflect a common consensus among teachers and generates conflicts in school. The school principal plays a crucial role in the implementation of school reform. However, there is an expected wave of retirement among experienced principals. More novice principals thus need to take a leading role in driving school change and bring new uncertainties.

To understand the challenge of novice principals, this paper reviewed the literature on school reform and examined the potential conflict in the development of learning organization. The implementation gap between Senge’s theory and practice were critically discussed in order to address the challenge of novice principals when driving new school change and provide a wider platform for discussion of school reform, as well as the development of learning organization in schools.
