Abstract

Background - The deteriorating educational quality is among the challenges in the Maldivian education sector. Professional learning communities (PLC) and school leadership are positive interventions that can upgrade teachers and teaching processes. The paper is a systematic literature review and offer an integrated framework to illuminate mediating effect of PLC on leadership engagement and teaching quality, in Maldives.

Method – The review of articles from 7 databases between 2018 and 2020, under four main search terms followed a PRISMA statement and a study protocol as a guide.

Findings –A framework is proposed to understand the impact of PLC on leadership engagement and teaching quality, in Maldives.

Limitations – As PLC is a context-sensitive concept, the limited number of articles from Asian Region, specifically in Maldives, may reduce the relevance of the findings

Originality – The integrated framework may assist the policy makers to use PLCs to transform the quality of teaching in Maldives.

Urgent Regarding ISSN Update

Announcement Date: April 20, 2021

Dear Authors and Researchers,
We would like to inform you that the U.S. ISSN Center at the Library of Congress has confirmed that the correct ISSN number of the Journal Psychology and Education is ISSN 1553-6939. This ISSN is to be used instead of ISSN 0033-3077 which is the ISSN that belongs to the former title, “Psychology.” Each time a journal undergoes a major change of title a new ISSN is assigned. Psychology and Education also has been assigned a Linking ISSN (ISSN-L). The ISSN-L is available for use when there is a need to identify and link to a continuing resource without regard to format, for example in services such as OpenURL, library catalogues, search engines or knowledge bases. The next issue of Psychology and Education will be published with ISSN 1553-6969. But the previous ISSN will be also available in the ISSN Portal to retrieve the record for Psychology because it remains the identifier for the former title Psychology and the articles published under that title.
