Abstract

To identify the central elements in school principals 'problem-solving processes and the differences between "experts" and their more typical colleagues, 22 elementary principals were interviewed. We analyzed their responses to brief hypothetical case problems and proposeda model of problem-solving components. Differences between expert and typical principals were most evident in response to "messy" or ill-structured problems.
