6. -discusses the dynamic roles of leadership,
management, and administration as they
relate to educational organizations
(NCPAE)

7.  Educational administration evolved out of a need to
operate schools under a set of practical and applied
administrative skills.
 The bureaucratization of educational organizations
during the 19th and 20th centuries required
specialized professional knowledge in order to
become and to succeed as an educational leader.
 The academic, scientific, and theory basis for
educational administration provided educational
leaders with advanced tools, conceptual
frameworks, and contemporary and theoretical
knowledge required to lead educational
organizations.

bad about themselves
 They can create a climate in schools that is productive and fun.
Can work on improving school climate if this is main target
 They can help teachers grow and retain their professional
resiliency.
 They can influence whole schools and hundreds of children (e.g.
if one teacher can make a difference with thirty or fifty kids, a
school administrator can have a positive effect on more kids.)
 They can move and improve school systems and an opportunity
to change whole schools or “shaping up” a school and providing
a more work-oriented environment
 Improving school’s performance in terms of scores and
statewide competency battery
 Increase in salary, prestige and other perks (benefits) that goes
with it.

10. is not only to learn the theories,
movements traditions, and skills of the
discipline, but to be exposed to the
dominant paradigm and have it raised to
the level of cognitive awareness
required to fully appreciate its
contribution, strengths, and
weaknesses, as one goes about
practicing educational administration in
schools and colleges.

11. Context (language)
-the text in which a word or passage
appears and which affects its meaning;
also the words and social setting which
surrounds a spoken word or passage.

18. Truth has a variety of meanings, primarily being in accord
with fact or reality, fidelity to an original or to a standard or
ideal and, in common usage, constancy or sincerity in
action or character. The opposite of truth is falsehood,
which, correspondingly, can also take on a logical, factual,
or ethical meaning. The concept of truth is discussed and
debated in several contexts, including philosophy and
religion. Many human activities depend upon the concept,
which is assumed rather than a subject of discussion,
including science, law, and everyday life.
Truth – is an objective “thing” and as such needs nothing else
except facts to support it. The truth requires no
embellishment. Since it is immortal it needs no human law
or government to cradle or sponsor it. (Dudley Field
Malone)

20. Paradigm
- is a Greek word that means as example or pattern. But used by American
scientist- historians, Thomas Kuhn, it meant a group of scientist who are
bound by the traditions of the solution of central scientific problem. Thus
paradigm is a shared pre understanding necessary to be part of the field.

28. DEMOCRATIC
ADMINISTRATION
HUMAN RELATION

29.  Focused on their efforts on chaging the
style of leadership and its autocratic
overtones. They desire a “soft” and
even non-directive stance in regard to
leadership. This body of thought did not

positivism.

approach to study human in
organizations represented the apogee of
triumph of positivism.
