Abstract/Notes: A growing number of schools across the globe have implemented design thinking (DT) as an instructional approach to increase student engagement, motivate creative thinking, and teach students to problem solve. Although offering significant opportunity to students, implementing DT can involve pushing against the traditional “grammar of schooling.” Drawing on in-depth qualitative case study data, we present findings on a previously low-performing, underenrolled middle school that underwent a dramatic shift when becoming a magnet school focused on DT. We explain the intentional leadership actions that facilitated structural and cultural changes, including building a collaborative leadership structure. Interactions between the principal and the teachers led to the emergence of practices that supported innovation schoolwide. At the same time, internal and external challenges rooted in the grammar of schooling arose, requiring educators to respond to sustain the momentum for change. Implications for policy and practice are discussed.

Hence, if the research results are summarized in the present research, it is as follows. First, as a result of investigating a relationship between the language control type of a mother and leadership according to a gender of children of 4 years old, it appeared that there is no statistically significant difference in all of the language control type of a mother. Also, the leadership according to a gender of children showed that a boy children is higher than a girl children in only pro-social leadership, and it appeared that a girl children is higher than a boy children in the proactivity, creativity, cognitive abilities and decision-making leadership and there was signigicant difference. Second, the results of analyzing the influence that the language control type of a mother affects leadership of an children according to a gender of an children are as follows. 1) It appeared that as the person-oriented language control type of parents of all boy and girl children is higher, the pro-social leadership of children is raised. 2) It appeared that as the imperatives language control type is higher, the proactive leadership of a boy children gets lower. It appeared that as the status-oriented and person-oriented language control types are higher, the proactive leadership of a children gets higher. It appeared that as the status-oriented language control type is higher, the proactive leadership of a girl children gets lower. It appeared that as the person-oriented language control type is higher, the proactive leadership of an children gets higher. 3) It appeared that as the person-oriented language control type of parents of all boy and girl children is higher, the creative leadership of an children gets higher. 4) It appeared that as the imperatives language control type is higher, the leadership of cognitive abilities of a boy children gets lower, and it appeared that as the person-oriented language control type is higher, the leadership of cognitive abilities of children gets higher. It appeared that as the person-oriented language control type is higher, the leadership of cognitive abilities of a girl children gets higher. 5) It appeared that as the person-oriented language control type is higher, the decision-making leadership of boy infants gets higher, and it appeared that as the imperative and status-oriented language control type is higher, the decision-making leadership of girl children gets lower. And it appeared that as the person-oriented language control type is higher, the decision-making leadership of children gets higher. Third, as a result of analyzing the influence that the language control type of a mother affects leadership of an children of 4 years old, it appeared that as the language control type of a mother gets more person-oriented, the leadership of an children is enhanced. As a result, it can be understood that the language control type of a mother has much influence on children, and first of all, when a mother use the person-oriented language rather than using the imperative and status-oriented language control, it has much influence on the leadership's lower domain of children. / 본 연구에서는 어머니의 언어통제유형이 만 4세 남, 여 유아의 리더십에 미치는 영향에 관하여 알아보았다. 연구의 대상은 유아교육기관에 재원중인 만 4세 유아 400명과 그의 어머니 400명이다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 만 4세 유아 성별에 따른 어머니의 언어통제유형과 리더십은 성별에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 유아 성별에 따른 어머니의 언어통제유형이 유아리더십에 미치는 영향은 남아·여아 모두 전반적으로 어머니의 인성지향적 언어통제유형이 높을수록 리더십이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 어머니의 언어통제유형이 만 4세 유아의 리더십에 미치는 영향은 어머니가 인성지향적일수록 종속변인인 리더십 5가지 하위요인에 모두 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
