Unit 22: Application of Educational Management in Administrative Areas

• Physical Facilities : It comprises of the area dealing with the problem of provision and Notes
maintenance of the school, plant, equipment and supplies, etc., their production, purchase upkeep
and accounting.
• Public Relations : Education is a social enterprise run with the cooperation of students, teachers,
parents and the community.
• According to modern educational thinking the meaning of discipline is taken in widespread
form. Today, where the objective of education has been understood to develop qualities of
successful citizenship and sociability in child, at the same place, school discipline is meant
internal and external discipline which should develop physical, mental, social and ethical values.
• Discipline is schools generally means “orders and system in doing things, regularity and
obedience to commands.” But discipline is not synonymous with class-order. It should not be
identified with orderly behaviour in the classroom and other forms of school activities.
• Discipline is very much important in the life. In want of it man cannot utilise powers properly
given by nature (God). Through discipline only, man can attain good power, and by this power
he becomes capable in developing of his natural tendencies with personal viewpoint, discipline
is very important.
• The Headmaster : ‘As the headmaster, so the school,” is well-known saying. In fact success of
failure of any school system depends upon the personality or the headmaster. He must possess
some philosophy of discipline and see that school.
• The Teacher : In fact, teacher the fountain-head in of all good discipline and charactors formation.
With good teacher, half the problem of school discipline disappears.
• Teaching Methods : If appropriate methods of teaching are employed, the chances of pupils
getting indisciplined or going astray, will be few and far between, classroom methods should
be directed towards producing well-adjusted and self-disciplined individuals and towards the
building up of a high morale.
• A Good School Environment : Every school should prepare its calendar in the beginning of new
school session, giving a clear idea of the aims, the courses of study administrative rules and
regulations.
• Co-curricular Activities : Sports, scouting, N.C.C., social service and community activities of
the type, develop in pupils a sense of self-control and self-confidence, which is the cornerstone
and good discipline. Such activities give our pupils practical lessons in subjugation of their
will.
• Self-Government in Schools : In every secondary school, pupils be properly associated with the
administration of discipline as well as with the health, sports dramatic and other school activities,
such an association will make obedience rules and regulations far more real meaningful and
willing than when the same is imposed form above.
• Effective Team-Workers : A sense of unity, co-operation and fellow- feeling, prevailing among
the school-staff is sure to reflect upon the pupils.
• Building up Traditions : As we have already stated, school discipline is closely connected with
school traditions. The higher and nobler the traditions, built-up by a school, the greater the
efforts on the parts of pupils and teachers to maintain those traditions.
• Judicious use of Rewards and Punishments : Meritorious and successful efforts on the part of
pupils, must be recognised and rewarded.
• It is the process of putting things together in a harmonious relationship so that they may function
more effectively. The administrator has to reckon with many physical, social and economic
forces.
