The Philosophy and Concept of Educational Administration
The study of philosophy and the concept of educational administration provide; direction and opinions on how an educational administrator can carry
out hisher duties based on both the values of practical and theoretical truth. There are two forms of truth, namely: a Absolute truth, this kind of truth is the
foundation of all truth in this world. This form of truth comes from God. For example, the truth about heaven, hell, death etc. b Relative truth, this kind of
truth is a relative truth or derived from human experience or understanding based on a scientific study. This kind of truth has led to various types and
forms of knowledge. For example, the laws made by human beings are said to be relative; this can be seen from the laws applied in Indonesia. These laws do
not necessarily apply in other countries. In telling the truth, there are some general theories which act as the basis for
how the truth can be logically accepted, i.e. the theory: correspondence, coherence, and pragmatism. In philosophy, the condition of something to be
taken as knowledge or science, are characterized by the presence of the following elements: Ontology, epistemology and axiology. These elements can
be explained as follows: 1 Ontology: This is a discussion about reality or about what is being studied. 2 Epistemology: The discussion is fundamentally
about how to obtain knowledge or the methods used for acquiring knowledge and 3 Axiology: A discussion of the usefulness and functionality of scientific
knowledge.
