“…Academic supervision is crucial in shaping the quality of education, particularly within the context of early childhood education. The effectiveness of the learning process heavily relies on the presence of skilled and professional teachers (Cantor et al, 2021;Cousin, 2020;Ford et al, 2021). Nurturing professionalism among these educators is achievable through the effective implementation of academic supervision.…”

In the context of early childhood education, education plays a crucial role in shaping a child’s development. The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the education landscape entirely, including early childhood education. School principals and early childhood educators have faced challenges in providing effective supervision, guidance, and evaluation in digital-based learning environments. This research aims to analyze the implementation of digital-based approaches in early childhood education supervision during the COVID-19 pandemic. Employing a survey method with a mixed-method approach, the results indicate that digital-based supervision in early childhood education exhibits limited effectiveness due to educators' lack of digital literacy, institutional unpreparedness, and suboptimal communication channels. Emphasizing digital literacy training, ensuring digital infrastructure, establishing continuous communication, and adopting user-friendly applications are crucial to enhancing educator competencies and enriching children learning experience.

“…Croatia is one of the rare countries without a regulated system of education and professional training for principals, so those who are not ready or qualified take on this role and are in most cases left to their own devices and/or opportunities for professional development. According to many authors, successful management of educational institutions guarantees positive development of the overall process, therein the education system (Caldwell, 2005;Rood, 2006;Leithwood and Day, 2007;Hersey, Blanchard and Johnsonet, 2008;Grint and Holt, 2011;Fullan, 2011;Earley and Greany, 2017). Therefore, the professionalization of principals should become an imperative to all the countries aiming to establish quality in this part of the system.…”

“…If a child is perceived as a competent, active, reflexive, curious and intelligent being, the provision of quality education will become our imperative and guide in creating and developing as quality preschool institutions as possible. By considering scientific insight about learning and development, numerous authors (Sekulić-Majurec, 1997;Gopnik et al, 2003;Mlinarević, 2004;Rinaldi, 2006;Dahlberg and Moss, 2006;Miljak, 2009;Jurčević-Lozančić, 2011;Slunjski, 2006; suggest the direction in forming quality, incentive environment in order for the child to develop his/her potentials. Hence, the role of a high-quality preschool institution in the child's development is indisputable.…”

The aim of this work is to point out the importance of the professionalization of the principal’s role in education institutions, with an accent on preschool institutions. The sample included principals (N=57) of preschool institutions in Central Croatia. The goal was to test the mediation relationship through SEM and examine the direct influence of interpersonal relationships within the preschool institution on the development of its work quality; furthermore, to test the indirect influence of these relationships by introducing the mediation variable of professional competence. The structured modelling in the AMOS was applied for testing the direct and indirect influence. The contribution of interpersonal relationships on the work quality is high and statistically significant (β=0,920), which confirms the direct influence. For testing the mediation effects, a bootstrapping method was designed that confirmed the indirect influence of interpersonal relationships on the work quality with the statistically significant serial mediator of professional competence (p= 0,016), thereby confirming partial mediation. This research determined that positive interpersonal relations, mediated by the principal’s professional competence, have a positive effect on the work quality of a preschool institution. In order for preschool institutions to reach the desired quality, it is necessary for them to be managed by professionally empowered and expert principals who promote prime cooperative relationships as the starting point in developing a high-quality institution. The results of this research contribute to a clearer perception and understanding of the professionalization of the principal’s role through key areas of his/her work and activity, and the possibility of their practical implementation into education institutions.

“…Sebuah sistem makna bersama mengandung nilai-nilai, norma, adat, perilaku, sikap yang difahami bersama dan menjadi komitmen bersama untuk bekerja dan berbuat dalam menghadapi tantangan organisasi baik itu secara internal ataupun eksternal (Baráth, 2015). Dengan sistem makna bersama yang disepakati diharapkan organisasi dapat survive (Cousin, 2020). Selain daripada sebagai sistem imun, sistem makna bersama itulah yang membedakan antara satu organisasi dengan organisasi yang lain.…”
