Abstract

Pandemija COVID-19 značajno je preoblikovala područje odgoja i obrazovanja, a privatne škole i njihovi ravnatelji nisu bili izuzeti od ovog izazovnog razdoblja. Uvođenje mjera izolacije i lockdowna otvorilo je brojna pitanja za privatne škole i zahtijevalo brze prilagodbe kako bi se osiguralo kontinuirano i kvalitetno obrazovanje. Ravnatelji privatnih škola suočavali su se s posebnim izazovima u vođenju obrazovnih ustanova tijekom pandemije. Mnoge privatne škole se financiraju od školarina učenika, a pad prihoda roditelja zbog ekonomske neizvjesnosti i gubitka poslova predstavljao je financijski teret za obitelji, ali i za same škole. Ravnatelji su morali pronaći ravnotežu između održavanja stabilnosti financiranja škola i istovremenog pružanja podrške obiteljima koje su se suočavale s teškoćama. Organizacija nastave na daljinu predstavljala je još jedan izazov za privatne škole i njihove ravnatelje. Nenadani prelazak s klasične nastave na online platforme zahtijevao je hitne prilagodbe u metodičkom pristupu te osiguranje tehničkih uvjeta za online nastavu. Ravnatelji su morali osigurati edukaciju i podršku nastavnicima kako bi se osigurala kontinuirana i kvalitetna nastava na daljinu. Cilj ovog istraživanja je istražiti kako su ravnatelji srednjih privatnih gimnazija u Hrvatskoj rukovodili svojim ustanovama tijekom lockdowna te utvrditi kako su se nosili s organizacijskim i pedagoškim izazovima. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da su ravnatelji bili suočeni s brojnim izazovima u rukovođenju škola. Organizacija nastave na daljinu bila je jedan od ključnih izazova u pogledu stručno-pedagoškog područja rada, a i financijski problemi također su predstavljali značajan izazov za ravnatelje u poslovodnom segmentu.

Abstract (english)

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly reshaped the field of education, private schools and their principals were not exempt from this challenging period. The introduction of isolation and lockdown measures brought numerous challenges for private schools and required rapid adjustments to ensure quality education. Principals of private schools faced special challenges in running educational institutions during the pandemic. Many private schools are financed by student fees, and the drop in parents' income due to economic uncertainty and job losses has been a financial burden for families, as well as for the schools themselves. Principals had to find a balance between maintaining the stability of school funding and at the same time providing support to families who were facing difficulties. The organization of online education represented another challenge for private schools and their principals. The sudden transition from traditional classes to online platforms required urgent adjustments in the methodical approach and ensuring the technical conditions for online classes. Principals had to provide education and support to teachers in order to ensure high-quality remote teaching. The aim of this research is to investigate how principals of secondary private high schools in Croatia managed their institutions during the lockdown and to determine how they coped with organizational and pedagogical challenges. The results of the research show that directors were faced with numerous challenges in managing schools. The organization of online education was one of the key challenges in terms of the professional-pedagogical field of work, and financial problems also represented a significant challenge for directors in the business segment.
