M.Ed. (Education Management) / In this dissertation it is endeavoured to explore and discuss the problem of student alienation from an educational management view point. Such perspective inevitably aims at the special task of the management team and particularly to that of the management leaders of schools up to counteraction of student alienation. At first the question of the necessity of successful management for meaningful educational instruction and study events is raised. It is also indicated that student alienation and organization climate fall within the field of educational management because they link with staff-student and classroom- affairs as management areas. Management committees are ever conscious of the alarming trend of alienation in schools. By clearing up this trend it is not only endeavoured to point out how it is manifested at school, but to draw the attention of management committees to the importance of creating a healthy climate for counteracting student alienation in the school environment. One dimension of organization climate that is particularly connected with student alienation is the reigning discipline policy. Specific accent is put on democratic ideas of co-responsibility and involvement of management committees, staff and students by discipline policy development. Odd basic-, organizational and operational principles that can be taken as guide lines for management leaders. are discussed. In totality, management committees and -leaders are to be made conscious of the urgent problem of student alienation by means of this dissertation.
