- Summary:
-
In replying to a critic, the authors reassert an understanding of theory as "a set of logically inter-related propositions with potential for explaining and predicting events and for producing new knowledge." Contrary to the authors' thinking in the 1950s and 1960s, they now hold that the whole enterprise of educational administration is so immersed in a value saturated matrix that "ought" theory--theory based on philosophy and ethics--cannot be ignored and that to deliberately separate it from "is" theory--theory based on empirical inquiry--is to seriously misunderstand what educational administration is all about.
