Conditions And Problems Of Mobilizing Educational Policies Toward Practice Of Basic Education School Administrators

The purposes of this research were to study the conditions and problems of mobilizing educational policies toward practice of the school and to study the components of capability for mobilizing educational policies toward practice. Research findings were as follows: (1) regarding the operational conditions of mobilizing educational policies toward practice, it was found that some schools conducted an analysis of the policies while other schools did not do so because they considered that the policies had already been pre-determined for practice; some schools took action to ensure the understanding and acceptance of the policies; most of the schools did not set up any specific working team to be responsible for implementation of the policies, did not evaluate the policies, and did not attempt to create continuity in the implementation; (2) regarding the problems of mobilizing educational policies, it was found that the supervisory work unit issued a lot of policies for the schools to implement without integrating those policies; it also urged the schools to speed up the implementation; on the other hand, the school administrators did not seriously attempt to mobilize the policies, did not analyze the policies, and failed to create the program/project for mobilization of the policies; and (3) the capability for mobilizing educational policies toward practice comprised the following components: the competency for transforming the policy; creating the understanding and acceptance of school personnel; setting up the work structure; resources management; personnel development; monitoring, supervising and evaluation; and creating continuous solidity.
