Exploration On School Management Thought In Primary And Middle Schools

The thesis first cards the current thought of school management in primary and middle schools and from the cultural angle divides the various theories into three kinds: "the theory of scientific management" with the guidance of scientism, the theory of "behavioral science" with the guidance of humanism and the "theory of human relation management" with the guidance of ethicism. It briefly introduces their theoretic resources and main features respectively, analyses in detail their theoretic limitations and objectively points out their negative influence. In terms of limitations, the author clearly points out three main manifestations: monism of value and culture pursuing identity, certainty and harmony, the trend of administratism making educational management and rights absolute and ignorance of the particularity of educational process because of transplanting business management theories. The negative influence is that they directly lead to the poverty of school management researches, the alienation of school management being hindered of the implementation of elementary education curriculum reform.Then the thesis finds a new theoretic resource for school management thought in primary and middle schools. It points out that the base ethics of universalism can delimit the lowest limit and the minimum requirement of school management behaviour and prevent any infringement of individual freedom and rights, thus stipulate a demarcation line between what can be done and what can not be done for management behaviour, Meanwhile, ideas such as fact of pluralism, social cooperation, public reason and overlapping common knowledge in John Rawl's theory of political liberalism provides instructive enlightenment for practical premise, management purpose andmanagement means of school management in primary and middle schools.Finally, it puts forward some concrete measures concerning school management reform in primary and middle schools with the instruction of the new theoretic resource. For example: making class hours flexible and teaching places open; defining teachers professionlization system and setting up student management system of selective study; removing information restricted zones, opening up information channels, enlarging information capacity and improving information quality.
