Designing an Indonesian Leadership Training Program: Reflections upon Decisions Made

Abstract

Doctoral research offers a unique opportunity to implement a carefully planned research design.In undertaking a doctoral research project that sought to investigate the impact of a leadership program in three impoverished rural school communities in Central Lombok, Indonesia, it was essential to consider a range of design elements.It was necessary to ensure design elements that would both support successful leadership training and sit comfortably within the context of the local community and the wider setting of the recently decentralized Indonesian education system.This paper explores the nature of the design decisions that evolved in undertaking research to gauge the changes in leadership perceptions and the dynamics of school operations when leadership training is offered to school communities that are making the transition to school based management under decentralization.It reviews the impact of those decisions and discusses their initial implications within the research context.
