Abstract
The article is devoted to highlighting the issue of managing school education in the scientific field of Norway, based on the example of the experience of scientific work at the University of Oslo, Faculty of Educational Sciences. Determined as the main driving force of changes in the functioning of education in general and its school sector, in particular, the management is to be realized in the state within school communities for the realization of its own social, educational, reformative and transformational mission, built on the basis of taking into account the special realities of the country of Norway.
It is established that the scientific field of research on the problem of school education management was formed in the dimension that combined the planes of the scientific space of the country, European and globalized scientific experience. Practically, such a scheme of scientific research works, based on the combined means of research of various projects, including projects for obtaining a degree, and an international network, within which work is carried out on the areas of study and development of problems of school education management.
It was determined that for purposeful study of the topic of school education management and the multidimensionality of the studied contexts, a list of tools is used, namely: theoretical and methodological approaches (historical, sociocultural, forecasting, modeling, interdisciplinary, multilevel and cross-contextual analysis) and methods (comparative analysis, cases, analysis of information sources and contexts, extrapolation, etc.), which allows to reveal the peculiarities of the studied phenomenon in Norway and abroad.
The analysis of the subject of research on the management of school education in Norway made it possible to identify the main areas that are closely related and mutually influential: reforming school education in the direction of democratic changes, educational management (governance and cooperation), improvement of curricula, accountability, leadership.
It was concluded that the management of school education is positioned in the country, as well as in Europe, as a new public management through reformation and modernization with a mandatory starting point – taking into consideration the existing differences in national contexts for the further successful transformations. Taking into account the peculiarities of internal needs, the main directions of the new public management are defined as curricular and educational reforms, governance and accountability, leadership and promotion of knowledge, which is explored in the topics of scientific research.
