As a teacher, I am assuming at this point that you are familiar with the ways your school
administrator runs your school. You might have observed that some of them are bossy while
others are group oriented. This supports the observation of most teachers and well-known
authorities in education that the well-known types of school administration are the autocratic
and democratic.

Educational Administration according to Maquiso (1984) is generally taken to mean the

administration of a school, that is, administration and supervision of teachers, the school plant and
such other activities that are related to curriculum making and student development; and an art and
science of managing education, including school organization that is charged with the job of looking
and competing for funds, developing good public relations, overseeing campus cleaning and doing
public service.

Maquiso (1984), in his attempt to look at educational administration from a rational and
structural approach asked these questions:

(i) What are the common areas as a whole that educational administration is usually
concerned about?
(ii) Are these areas distinct from each other?
(iii) What are their relationships?
(iv) Are these relationships indispensable to forming a conceptual or structural framework
so that from that perspective, educational administration can be better viewed and
understood?
(v) Do these areas of concern have a rational basis? And
(vi) Will all of these make educational administration susceptible to objective analysis, and
hence, to proper assessment?

To answer these questions, Maquiso (1984) discussed lengthily the five areas of concern for
educational administration, to wit:

1. Educational administration as an executive position;

2. Educational administration as a process management;
3. Educational administration as a public concern;
4. Educational administration as a career; and
5. Educational administration as a discipline.
6. The third area of concern, educational administration as public concern, is usually
understood to refer to each user of educational services. Educational administration as a
public concern refers to its specific publics with whom it must interact for purposes of
influencing these publics to support educational objectives, on the other. These specific
publics are the members and elements of society and culture, and the power welders of
school environment. Once pursued, educational administration as a public concern
therefore will reveal how executive roles and process management functions could be
stretched to interact with specific publics, beyond the requirements of internal
organizational operation.
