1. Educational Leadership: An Alternative for Graduate Studies in Education.

Author

Serafin, Ana Gil

Abstract

This paper offers a rationale and a design for a graduate program in Educational Leadership to be implemented in Venezuelan universities. The rationale for the program points out that schools are the main source of leadership development, and teachers and administrators need to be aware of their leadership roles and their roles as agents of societal change. The new program aspires to break the old paradigm of educational management and educational administration which is not responding to the new imperatives of societal change. The paper examines the development of leadership theories and models, discusses the socioeducational implications of the current state of the art in education, analyzes the feasibility of designing and implementing a postgraduate career in Educational Leadership, and proposes some indicators that may delineate the curriculum design of a graduate program in Educational Leadership.

Abstract

Information collected from interviews with 15 ministers of education and 30 program directors and researchers at 18 universities in Venezuela, Costa Rica, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, and Argentina is used to study academic programs which prepare persons to be educational planners and administrators. Section one describes background information, institutional and program characteristics, staffing, program evaluations, and future expectations of the institutional programs. Section two reports on conclusions of the study in terms of the necessity for educational programs, objectives, programs' contents, students, themes, changes, resources, graduates, and the relationship of a university to a national planning office. Section three includes recommendations and proposals. Conclusions suggest serious deficiencies in educational planning and administration programs because of reduction in funding and lack of adequate financial sources. The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) encourages interchange and cooperation among these countries to: (1) increase the quality of education for planners and administrators; and (2) develop new models of planning and administration management that are more flexible and democratic. Appendices present educational program information by country, by persons interviewed, and includes the questionnaire. (JHP)
