Abstract

The last decade witnessed a great number of foreign terms enetering our speaking area and becoming so familiar that people have gotten used to see them often, although sometimes they do not really understand their meaning. More often than not, these terms, especially among the general population, are treated as something mystical and incomprehensible so it is assumed that their exclusive use is reserved for a certain category of people who are more educated. In addition, despite the unsolved issuess about these terms, they are used in everyday communication where people mutually communicate but mean different things using the same term. This leads to the conclusion that it is more than necessary that these terms, along with their popularization, get adequate explication that will break down barriers to meaningful and unambiguous use of foreign origin terms whose usage has already become part of everyday life. One of the frequently encountered and exploited terms in pedagogical literature certainly is the term "management" that can be found here associated with or followed by many other terms. Because of this it is necessary to clarify its use together or alongside the most commonly used terms and expressions. However, it would be most justified to clarify its most general determination and the very term "management". The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary offers different meanings of the term "management": the act or skill of controlling and making decisions about a business, department, sports team, etc.; the people who make decisions about a business, department, sports team, etc.; the act or process of deciding how to use something.1 There are also other explanations of the term "management" such as: the process of managing or being managed; or the action or activity of management. These are some of the explanations of the term which have a direct connection or can be used in the pedagogical context. I. Adizes however, citing the impossibility of a literal translation of the term management in some languages where in such cases the terms leadership or administration are used, offers some synonyms for explaining the meaning of the term "management" such as decision making, operation, planning, controlling, organizing, achieving goals, guidance, motivation, achievement.2 It can be said that all these terms are fully transferable and recognized in the pedagogical field as something happening in immediate practice but regularly as two-sided process in which both actors appear as equal partners. For the term "management" the definition that it is a judicious use of means to accomplish an end or a complexity of functions can also be found. If we analyze the importance of each of these in the pedagogical field, we will see that it is quite acceptable to interpret this term in several ways because all of this happens and takes place within the pedagogical practice. It has both organization and challenge, striving to achieve success, to establish control or to control something, to direct something to a particular goal, to decide, to operate, plan, etc.
