Özet:

 

Recent studies in South Africa suggest that the social, material and curricular
 transformation espoused in post-apartheid legislation and education policies do
 not always translate into implementation in schools. This article reports on a
 qualitative multi case study on transformative leadership in township schools and
 a follow up study in rural schools. The article is restricted to three rural and three
 township secondary schools regarding the question: how do teachers perceive and
 experience their role in school transformation. Semi-structured focus group
 interviews and phenomenological steps were the basis for data collection and
 analysis, respectively. Findings suggests that while teachers query their limited
 involvement in school transformation initiatives, and question the concentration of
 decision-making power regarding transformation issues on school management,
 they are equally reluctant to take additional non-teaching responsibilities.
 Perceived contextual barriers to teacher involvement in rural and township school
 transformation are outlined.
