Eğitim Yönetiminin Düşünsel Kavramlarında Problem İzlekleri

Abstract

The naming and use of concepts belonging to a branch of science in different ways causes various controversies and confusion. These differences, which are also observed in the field of linguistics, are large enough to go down even to the secondary education level. However, the existence of a branch of science is made possible by determining its basic concepts and ensuring its continuous continuity. This becomes even more important when it comes to social sciences, because the concepts that point to the fields of study of the branch of science in question and the terms that express them as a language provide information about the process of becoming a scientist. In this sense, the concepts used in educational sciences and in the field of educational management also give clues about when and how these fields started to become scientific. The number of concepts that are still in use is not the same as the period when the field appeared. In order to sort out the basic concepts of educational management, it is necessary to express the basic problems of the field. In this sense, it is possible to specify the concepts that stand out as the basic concepts of educational philosophy in the form of the concept of education, learning, teaching, discipline, equal opportunities and the right of the child. There are many concepts used in educational processes, educational sciences and management. However, some of these concepts are basic concepts that reflect the characteristics of that area. In this context, the basic concepts of education can be listed as education, management, organization, system, educational management, non-formal education, formal education, coordination, power, supervision, leadership, discipline, school management, cascading of education, managerial power, authority, responsibility, task, competence, organizational effectiveness, efficiency, evaluation, communication and competence. This is a proof that education has to be in relation to other disciplines in terms of basic concepts. It is even possible to state that a large part of the concepts used in the field are taken from the fields of management and business administration. As the characteristics of the school, which is a kind of organization, and the nature of education as a process change, the characteristics of educational management also change. For this reason, the basic concepts used in the field may also change. Because not every age's expectations from education may be the same.
