| Abstract [eng] |
The article actualizes the system of preparatory pre-school education as a subsystem of education that lacks theoretical management and administration conceptions. It is explained that due to this reason with respect to management processes of educational reform of Lithuania the system of preparatory pre-school education becomes dysfunctional and does not respond to the general trend of changes in education. The thesis discloses theoretical-praxeological bases of management of preparatory pre-school education system, which have self-contextualised in the modern policy of education of Lithuania. With this aim the author of the thesis uses post-modern instruments of social sciences and the humanities and formulates the idea about the necessity of new type managerial knowledge, while making political decisions regarding managerial strategies of preparatory pre-school education and other subsystems of education. Based on the results of qualitative content analysis, which showed up carrying out the analysis of the most important documents on education of modern post-reform period of Lithuania, the following is concluded: to manage preparatory pre-school education system both general and special managerial principles, which are suitable for management of localized subsystems of education in policy change processes, can be applied. The thesis proves that the management of preparatory pre-school education system must be perceived through the paradigms of systemic change of its functions, orientating to societarian, systemic, institutional, interpersonal and intrapersonal levels, their inter-synergic relations, and the change of preparatory pre-school education as a subsystem and as a system of education. |
