Exploring Educational Administration

Coherentist Applications and Critical Debates
Extending the claims made in "Knowing Educational Administration", this book demonstrates how a post-positivist science of administration can deal with traditional and vexed issues in the field of educational administration. It begins the task of extending the authors' ideas into more applied domains.
"Exploring Educational Administration", the second book in a planned 3 volume work, begins the task of extending the authors' ideas into more applied domains. It provides some introductory accounts of their theory, some extension of the theory in new directions, particularly in response to the post-modernist challenge, and signals the development of some important applications to educational management issues, notably leadership, policy, decision-making, and organisational design. Since their work has generated a significant amount of controversy they have drawn together, in the last section, three debates on their views from prestigious international journals. The book extends considerably the claims made in "Knowing Educational Administration" by demonstrating how a post-positivist science of administration can deal with traditional and vexed issues in the field. Hence, it will appeal to practitioners, students and researchers alike.
