To systematically review the research of teacher leadership in the global context and explore the knowledge base of teacher leadership, the study conducted a bibliometric review analyzing 616 journal papers in the Scopus database. The analysis strategies of descriptive statistics, citation analysis, co-citation analysis, and co-occurrence analysis were used to understand the performance, research topics, and the intellectual structure of teacher leadership research. Three important findings were concluded as follows. 1. Based on the quantity and developmental trend of publication, teacher leadership research could be categorized into four phases, which included classroom level teacher leadership study, teacher leadership study beyond classroom level, research quantity consolidation phase, and research quantity increasing phase. The top three influential countries concerning publication quantity and citation rates were America, the UK, and Australia. 2. The top three influential journals of teacher leadership were all core journals of educational leadership. The fourth one was an important journal of teacher education. Of the top ten influential papers, three were reviews of research, one was conceptual paper, and five of the six empirical studies were qualitative studies. 3. The topics of teacher leadership studies could be grouped into six clusters. The emerging themes were middle leadership, professional identity, collective efficacy, educational policy, educational leadership, and school leadership. The intellectual structure of teacher leadership consisted of four schools of thought, including teacher education and organizational perspective, distributed leadership and student learning, distributed leadership and school improvement, and parallel leadership and school reform. |
