  9. B.Scientific Movement of EAP

  10. The rise and constitution of policy science • The initiatives around the WWI: • Upon President Wilson's request, National Research Council was established in 1916 to assist the government to fight WWI • Establishment of the Social Science Research Council in 1923 and the Brookings Institute in December, 1927. • Charles Merriam's advocacy in his Presidential address in American Political Science Association in 1925 for researches of applied and multidisciplinary social science on social problems

  11. The rise and constitution of policy science • The Post-WWII and Cold-War initiatives: • The success of Operations Research (OR) and Psychology of War in WWII and the rise of “management science” • The Congress initiated the establishment of National Science Foundation (NSF) in 1950 to serve as instrument to sponsor scientific research informing public policy • Harold Lasswell coined the concept of “policy science” in an article in 1951.

  12. The rise and constitution of policy science • Harold Lasswell’s three-perspective formulation of The Policy Orientation (1951) in the book Policy Sciences edited by him and Daniel Lerner • Multidisciplinary Perspective • Contextual and Problem-Oriented Perspective • The Normative Perspective

  13. The rise and constitution of policy science • Developments of policy orientations from the 1950s to the 1960s • The theoretical hegemony of the economic analysis, system approach, and/or management science • The dominance of structural-functionalism and Robert K. Merton’s call for applied social science research and theories of middle range (1967) • Demarcation of knowledge in and of policy process, i.e. policy analysis and policy-process analysis

  18. The Theory Movement & the constitution of the science of Educational Administration • The methodological stance of the Theory Movement (Cullerston, 1983 p. 15) • Scientific theories treat phenomena as they are. • Effectiveness research has its origins in theory and is guided by theory. • Hypothetic-deductive method are the best exemplars of theory. • The use of social sciences is essential in theory development and training. • Administration is best viewed as a generic concept applicable to all types of organization.

  20. C.Critiques on the Scientific Movement of EAP

  21. Critiques on policy science from within • Charles Lindblom’s science of muddling through (1959/1979) • Herbert Simon’s conception of bounded rationality and the principle of satisficing (1957) • Aaron Wildavsky’s (1969) critique on program-planning-budgeting system (PPBS) in Public Administration Review, Vol. 29 • Pressman & Wildavsky (1973) Implementation.

  22. Challenges of policy science from policy reality (deLeon, 1988) • The rise an fall of projects of the Great Society and the War on Poverty in the 1960s • The defeat in Vietnam War and challenge of the omnipotence and controllability of operation science in war by guerilla warfare • The Watergate scandals and the fall of the integrity of the government • The energy crisis and the environmental movement and the challenge to the omniscience of science and the omnipotence of engineering

  23. Challenges to the scientific-system based theory movement in Ed Administration • The Greenfield Revolt: The phenomenological challenge Thomas Greenfield's presentation "Organization theory as ideology" in an International Inter-visitation Program in Bristol in 1974. In the paper, Greenfield's claimed • Phenomenological rather positivist/realist approach organization • Value-laden rather than value-free in inquiry to organization • Theory building as paradigm building rather than objective and neutral truth-finding process

  24. Challenges to the scientific-system based theory movement in ed administration • The impact of the 1st Coleman’s Report (1965-66) • Emergence of politically and legally controversial education issues, e.g. school segregation • The challenge to the "is-ought" and "fact-value" dichotomy and the de-mystification of the value-free ideology in educational administration

  25. The first Coleman Report 1965-66 Policy research on inequality of Educational Opportunity Design of effective policy ends and intervention measures The second Coleman Report in 1975 AERA annual conference Policy research on the phenomenon of the White Flight Controversy over the unwanting findings The third Coleman Report in 1980 Policy research on the effectiveness of public and private schools The argumentative turn of the report James S. Coleman’s odyssey of research in education policy, 1960s to 1980s

  26. “There are two fundamentally different schools of thoughts concerning the role of scientific research. … One school of thought sees policy research as private dialogue between the policy maker and the policy researcher. The policy makers poses the problem and the questions, and the policy researchers acts as adviser to the prince, to answer the questions on the basis of existing scientific knowledge if possible, and if not, to gather the right kind of data and analyze it properly to arrive at a conclusive answer. This conception of a clear, orderly process, with the final stage being implementation of the policy researcher’s results. The scientific answers are conclusive, sources of controversy are stilled by the conclusiveness of the research results, and rational action based on scientific evidence replaces interest group politics.

  27. “The other school of thought – the one to which we subscribe – see policy research as a largely public activity, one in which there is no ‘policy maker’, and in which the policy researcher’s role is that of the servant of multiple interests. …The contribution of the policy research to the end result is that of raising the level of discourse which leads to policy: facilitating disposal of false issues, narrowing attention and political conflict to the important issues. The research results cannot specify policy to be implemented; they are only one of a number of input which makes that process a more open one, helping to provide a window to the consequences of policy that enables more persons to effectively press for their interests and ideals.” (Coleman, et al., 1982, p.220-221)

  28. Challenges to the scientific-system based theory movement in ed administration • Christopher Hodgkinson's philosophical and ethical challenge • Hodgkinson published Towards a Philosophy of Administration in 1978 • Philosophy of educational administration and leadership consists of two components: logic and value • Hodgkinson's typology of values • Type I value: Value as matter of principle • Type II value: Value as matter of rationality • Type IIa value: Rationality based on the desirability of consequences • Type IIb value: Rationality based on quantitative-based consensus of the concerned collectivity • Type III value: Value as individual's preferences

  29. Challenges to the scientific-system based theory movement in ed administration • The Marxian challenge • Richard Bates (1982) critiques the orthodox administration theory as conservative and anachronistic • Emphasis on contradiction and conflict in organization • Emphasis on dominant and power in administration • Challenge from Critical Theory • William Foster's Habermasian contribution (1980) • Distinction between communicative rationality in the life world and the functional rationality in the systems • Administrative system of the state and the medium of power • Economic system of market and the medium of money • Communicative ethics in educational administration
