Educational Administration Programs

Educational administration programs are in desperate need of change. However, substantive change is unlikely given the rigidity of the university culture and its dysfunctional nature. The demand to change American universities has existed for over a century with little effect. However, faculty resistance, wrapped in a rigid culture, rejects competing ideologies. A new paradigm is needed if university preparation of school administrators is to be credible. One alternative paradigm is based on the relationship between the teacher and learner. In this paradigm, leadership is discovered rather than taught. It is a personal journey for the faculty member and student. The relationship between the teacher and student creates an opportunity for the discovery of different structures grounded in existential theory.

Objectives: to discuss the historical trajectory of health policies in Brazil, contrasting the paradigms flexenerian and the social production of health; to deal the range of cultural and ideological factors in historical development in the social field of health, relating them to the role of the University. Methods: we analyzed the subject from different authors who discussed the matter in order to detect the approach of the relationship between the paradigms and models of health care in the economic, political and cultural predominance. Results: the Universities have contributed to the discussions about the paradigms inherent in the social context of public health in Brazil, assuming the role of training, update and improve the content of their curricula, as well as to respond the demands arising from the society. Conclusion: we concluded that this situation was crucial in the development of the emerging paradigm and that the University has an important role in the formation of professional critics, and reflective participants in structuring a new paradigm.

Educational Administration Programs

What is the place of special education in programs that prepare school administrators? In this article, we explore this question by: (1) reviewing selected contemporary literature including recent recommendations for improving educational administration programs; (2) reanalyzing relevant data from a national study; and (3) reporting the results of recent interviews with selected high school principals. The conclusion reached is that special education is treated inadequately (if at all) in programs designed to prepare school administrators. Based upon this body of information collected and our experience with our own principal preparation program, recommendations are discussed concerning why and how special education should have a place in these programs.

This paper describes an investigation of the needs of graduate students in educational administration preparation programs. The study raises questions focusing on what learning would be most valuable to school administrators who deal with diverse constituencies and cultures. To obtain appropriate information, the authors conducted in-depth interviews with older graduate students at three different locations in the U.S. In this study, the most salient finding that emerged was that graduate students learned far more through informal peer learning about diversity issues dealing with gender, race, ethnicity, social class and other areas of difference than they did in the formal educational administration classroom. Based on the analysis of interviews, the authors recommend a number of changes for program development under the category of diversity. Through these changes, it is hoped that educational administration faculty will better prepare graduate students to be educational leaders in the 21st century.

Change management is known to be a significant model based on theories and practices from educational experts, educators, professors, school administrators, and even scientists. Like other higher education institutions in Vietnam, Private Universities in Ho Chi Minh city are a change management type organization. The management challenge facing contemporary universities refers to the multiple roles assumed by universities and the extraordinary increase in the number of subject fields, heightening, in turn, the complexity of the university environment. However, the previous research about change management of the Vietnamese private university system still has many shortcomings and limitations in terms of both size and quality. There is a lack of studies that have used Kotter's Model of Change (1996) to examine the evolutionary changes and challenges facing Private Universities. So, the main objective of this paper is to establish and propose a suitable model based on the apply Kotter's eight-step model of change to enhance effective change management in private universities in Ho Chi Minh City, and then discussion and recommendation will be presented in the study. To overcome the change challenges, some recommendation was proposed for the successful implementation of the changes for the university. Quantitative method has been utlised to complete this paper.

The Relationship

To assess the progressive teaching practicums included in an English Teaching Programme at a Chilean university, 60 former student-teachers answered a questionnaire with both Likert-scale and open-ended questions. The issues assessed included the relationship between the progressive teaching practicums and the curriculum’s modules and sequence, and the skills developed while implementing innovation projects during the student-teachers’ two final practicums. Quantitative and qualitative data analyses allowed us to identify both strengths and weaknesses. The participants highlighted strengths in the areas of teaching strategies, critical thinking skills and professional and pedagogical knowledge. Among the weaknesses, they identified limited supervision and feedback, and diverging views on teaching education between the university and the schools as the most difficult to deal with. These findings may be useful for introducing improvements in Initial Teacher Education aimed at reducing problems and discrepancies and devising suitable induction processes.
