Fifty years of publication Pondering the legacies of the Journal of Educational Administration

---

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify the legacies of the Journal of Educational
Administration ( JEA) since its foundation in 1963 to the present (2011) and to illuminate the main
contributions of the Journal to the academic field of educational administration (EA) worldwide.
Design/methodology/approach – The method employed in analysing the Journal’s articles was
“qualitative content analysis” which includes constant comparisons for discovering patterns,
emphases and themes in an array of documents. The first stage of analysis included extensive reading,
sorting and searching through the Journal’s abstracts resulting in the coding of categories, key words
and themes. In the second stage, themes and categories were identified and compared until main
themes and sub-categories in each abstract emerged.
Findings – The paper traces the Journal’s legacies in every decade since its foundation, and
highlights the dynamic nature of this publication. Likewise, the dominance of the “empirical legacy” as
compared to the other five legacies is emphasised, and the rise and fall of different topics and
perspectives throughout the years are illuminated. Some thoughts about plausible future directions of
the Journal conclude the paper.
Originality/value – The historical review provides an opportunity to glean information about the
distinctive intellectual identity of the field of EA. Likewise, reviewing existing research and
scholarship in the JEA may increase our intellectual and theoretical understanding of the ways by
which the scholarly boundaries of EA as a field of study have been shaped and reshaped, after all, JEA
has long been an outlet for hundreds of works from the four corners of the earth.
