Keywords:
Educational Management, Commissioned Officers, Management Development ProgramAbstract
This study attempted to evaluate the educational management competencies of the commissioned officers of the 8th Infantry Division, in which the findings were considered as inputs to management development programs. The descriptive-developmental research design was used in this study using the questionnaire adapted from Harris (1989) as a basic instrument. The difference by group of respondents based on weighted means of the seven management dimensions such as cultural awareness, communication/coordination, public relations, planning, programs/projects implementation, material resources management, and unit monitoring and supervision is not significant as proved by the computed z-value of -1.25 as against the critical z-value of 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance. For management competencies of Cos by geographical area it turned out that managing educational programs had a positive effect on Cos educational management competency level. Thus, more involvement in educational programs will more likely improve the management competencies of Cos. Among the seven Cos-related variates of educational qualification did not affect or influence the educational management competency level of the Cos while the rest play an important role in the management of educational programs of the 8th Infantry Division. Problems on cultural awareness and communication/ coordination affect the implementation of the educational programs of the 8th Infantry Division as evidenced by the data gathered on problems encountered by the Cos. There is a need for an educational management program.
