本研究以臺北縣國民中小學校長為研究對象,採文獻分析法、問卷調查法進行探究。參考改編自Hall之問卷為研究工具,問卷效度諮請13位學者專家提供修正意見,進行問卷調查,共計發出問卷281份,回收有效問卷209份,有效樣本回收率為74.37%。資料分析採平均數、標準差、t考驗、皮爾遜積差相關、單因子變異數分析、描述統計等統計方法。資料經統計分析,本研究獲致以下結論:
一、 課程領導理論包括課程理論與行政領導理論,具有其獨特的學術造型。
二、 透過哲學、心理學、行政學、政治學、社會學的學理分析,可以闡明課程領導的理念並建立課程領導的內涵。

四、國中小校長課程領導理念認知與實際實踐已建立共同的努力目標與自我要求。
五、臺北縣國中小校長在課程領導整體理念認知與實際實踐的自我期許程度相當高,其中女性校長對課程實施議題理念認知程度高於男性校長。
六、不同學校類別的校長在課程領導整體理念認知方面有顯著差異,其中國中校長在課程評鑑上的理念認知有待加強。

(三)適度鬆綁法令,賦予學校組織結構多一點彈性空間。
(四)教育行政機關應鼓勵學校辦理自我課程評鑑工作。

The purpose of this study is to investigate the required curriculum leadership knowledge and its actual accomplishment by principals of elementary schools in Taipei County. Accordingly, the study also aims to ascertain the discrepancy between both of principals’ required knowledge and their actual accomplishment in curriculum leadership. This research targets at elementary and junior high school principals in Taipei County. The statistical methodology in this study includes Documentary Analysis and Questionnaire.

The major findings from statistical analyses are as follows: 1. The theory of curriculum leadership includes both curriculum and administrational leadership theories. It itself is unique. 2. By means of analyzing philosophy, psychology, administration, politics, and sociology, we can clarify the essence of curriculum leadership. Moreover, we make the essence more profound. 3.
