Analysis of the characteristics of an educational context that promotes attitudes of leadership
The purpose of this research is to understand the impact of the school context compared to the Scouting context on the Leadership attitudes (valued-based leadership) of the adolescents. The study was conducted on a judgment sample, consisting of 600 students and 231 Scouts enrolled in upper secondary school in Rome (10th and 11th grades). The instruments used are the Educational Context Perception Questionnaire -ECPQ and the Socially Responsible Leadership Scale-SRLS to which we added a dimension of Leadership. The analyses indicate that the educational context has an impact on the valued-based leadership development of the adolescents and show statistically significant differences in favor of the Scouts, relating to both the environment perception and the development of leadership attitudes. The differences in outcomes related to gender, having or not having responsibilities at school, enjoying or not enjoying school, being seen as a good or a bad student, are also presented.
