مراجعة منهجية لمحاولة استنتاج النموذج الأفضل للقيادة التربوية لتطوير نظام التعليم في التربية الخاصة في المملكة العربية السعودية
The study aimed to identify and apply the most commonly used models in the field of educational leadership for developing the educational system in special education. Additionally, it compared the application of these models in the educational system of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) with those in other countries worldwide, to prepare educational leaders in special education and keep pace with the global information revolution. A systematic review approach was used, relying on the analysis of previous studies. This study reviewed 23 studies. The results of the current study showed that no Arabic study has extracted an ideal model for use in educational leadership in special education. Moreover, the results showed that the most commonly used models are STEAM and EFQM, but few studies have employed these models in the field of special education. In addition, the results have shown that the models used help the educational leadership process go through several interconnected stages, enabling leaders to understand the needs of students in special education. The study recommends intensifying the efforts of researchers to prepare joint studies between special education professionals and the field of educational leadership. Additionally, modern pedagogical models should be used in schools to develop and prepare educational leaders to adapt to students with disabilities. (Published abstract)
