This research aims to (i) examine the effectiveness and the efficiency of primary education management with regards to the service user satisfaction within 29 primary schools in Thailand, subject under provincial administrative organization (PAO), and their counterparts, which are under the authority of the Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC), (ii) to conduct a comparative study concerning the effectiveness and the efficiency generated from the selected schools by specifically handpicking, from each province, one school from the PAO and two from the OBEC, amounting to the total number of 3 schools representing each province. The selected samples can be categorized into those containing similar numbers of students and the ones with certain amounts of operating unit cost (OUC), which are essentially contributing to the sum of 87 schools. The data collection was carried out by drawing samples from the students, the parents, and the members of the concerned communities. Each group comprised 812 subjects, leading to the total number of 2,436 study subjects. The gathered data is analysed using average mean and t-test. The findings indicate that the level of user satisfaction, in general, towards the primary education management of the PAO schools, which is marked as  x= 4.34, is lower than those listed under the supervision of the OBEC. Such result is consistent for either cases where the sample schools contain similar students numbers ( x= 4.41) or the case where the amount of OUC is relatively equal ( x= 4.41). Upon considering and assessing each group, it was found that while the user satisfaction level, as produced from the students and the community members, did not have significant differences, on the other hand, the level of satisfaction that was generated by the parents reveals that the parents’ perception towards primary education management under the PAO authority ( x= 4.36) was placed lower than those of OBEC, which was also applicable to both cases where similar number of students were present ( x= 4.49) and where the OUC was somewhat equivalent ( x= 4.48).

Management Functions

Based on general and special foundations ot the theory of management of education and theoretical approaches existing in research literature interdisciplinary methodological approach was conceptualised and purified. It enables to substantiate research methodology of management functions of the system of pre-primary education in the processes of shift in the policy of education of Lithuania. In the absence of methodological approach functions of pre-primary education were analysed in the context of positivism, often applying approaches of structural functionalism. Therefore, the link of pre-primary education as an intermediary link (with regard to the links of pre-school and primary school) lost specificity and polyphony, whilst in reality functions that corresponded to its status were attributed. Interdisciplinary methodological approach enables to highlight contextuality, complexity of functions of pre-primary education. Validity of the position of immanence determines such functions that are characteristic namely for management of the system of pre-primary education: gnostic, project-based, constructive, communicative. In management and in management of educational organisations the function is a specialised component of a managerial activity, which is characterised by unimality and exceptionality by ways of impact. In the discourse on self-contextualisation of management of the system of pre-primary education, global changes in education and management theories the educational policy in the context of social values is analysed. It can be stated that considering the valuable basis of educational policy as a key characteristics of the concept of educational policy, the formation, implementation and evaluation of the policy must by based on social values. Social values should be embodied in laws, express main democratic principles and ideals. Having considered the contextuality of educational policy, it must be noted that its relating with social and economical country‘s endeavours is inevitable. It is also important that many factors determining educational policy exist beyond the boundaries of educational system. In the context of high unemployment, increasing individualism that is characteristic to the post-industrial society, when social differences and inequality are permanently increasing, educational polisy must seek its aims. Key words: discourse, pre-primary education management, education and childhood policy, interdisciplinary methodological paradigm, self-contexstualisation of management.

African American Adults

Across the breadth of acquired neurogenic communication disorders, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) may go undetected, underreported, and untreated. In addition to stigma and distrust of healthcare systems, other barriers contribute to decreased identification, healthcare access, and service utilization for Hispanic and African American adults with MCI. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) have significant roles in prevention, education, management, and support of older adults, the population must susceptible to MCI.
