Course Description
This course is designed to familiarize students with the theoretical and practical foundations of the
field of educational administration and policy. For the theoretical foundations, the course will
explicate the methodological, epistemological and ontological foundations upon which theory and
research in the field are based and developed. These will include the debates between quantitative
and qualitative methods, between empirical-positivism and hermeneutic tradition, and among
objectivism, constructivism and realism. For the practical foundations, the course will explicate ideas
commonly permeating in the action arena of both educational administrators and policy-makers.
These ideas will include rationality, power, practical reason, organization, institution, system and
lifeowrld. Conceptions and theories relating to these ideas will be critically examined. The course
aims to help doctoral students to build solid theoretical and practical foundations for their future
enquiry into the field of educational administration and policy.
