Abstract:

It has been observed that the discussions on educational researches have generally focused on the methodology. The present study aimed at evaluating educational administration researches in the context of the empirical research articles on educational administration vis a vis methodology. The articles dating between 2000 through 2006 were selected from Educational Administration in Theory and Practice Journal. The sample comprised of 20 randomly selected empirical research articles. It is seen that most of the evaluated researches were about the causes of the administrator behaviors and next came the researches about the administrator behaviors. The population-sampling levels of the articles included in the sample were found to be moderate. The designs of the research articles were predominantly survey type and quantitative in nature. It was seen that the statistical techniques used in the evaluated articles were rudimentary.
