The purpose of this study is to enhance the understanding of person-environment fit and examine its effectiveness in predicting student performance and satisfaction in the management education field. Three person-environment fit measures were used: (a) values congruence (the congruence between a student's ideal value set and the existing value set in a classroom), (b) personality congruence (the fit between a student's and their professor's personalities), and (c) classroom environment congruence (the fit between a student's ideal classroom environment and their perceptions of the existing environment). Data were collected from 171 students in five different sections of management classes taught by 3 different instructors from state-funded educational institutions in the western United States. The results indicated that student-professor personality congruence was a significant predictor of student performance and that classroom environment congruence and values congruence were significant predictors of student satisfaction. Results and implications for classroom practice are discussed.

Practice has shown, that efficient development of any country is connected with implementation of achievements of the international experience, succession of the national economy, governmental supervision and assistance. The experience of the countries bridged over the difficulties of transformation periods pushes forward to the development of relations between state institutions and market relations participants. The article displays methods of reasonable interrelations between the state and economic entities.

In this article the author questions the comparativist & American political academic assumption that that United States government acts autonomously from social demands to argue that the historical source of this assumption comes from an underestimation of the autonomy of nineteenth century American government. The author argues that voter participation & public opinion is is characterized as vulnerable to elite manipulation, releasing the state from societal control. Historical analysis of ninteenth-century American democratic culture, finance in the postbellum period, & the Ohio gubernatorial elections of 1875 & 1876 indicate that the high levels of popular participation could have been manufactured by political elites. The author concludes that the current ill-informed American electorate pliability can fuel state autonomy & creates elected officials that are no longer vulnerable to public opinion.

Because of the recent expansion of the activities engaged in by both state and municipal governments,.the problem of legal hazards to which they are subject becomes increasingly important. One such hazard is estoppel. In general estoppel is the principle that one who wrongfully or negligently induces another to adversely change his position will be precluded from pleading the falsity of his acts or representations to his own advantage.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Çağdaş ve Demokratik Eğitim çerçevesinde, teftişin danışmanlık rehberlik, inceleme-araştırma ve kontrol işlevlerini analiz etmek, yorumlamak ve önerilerde bulunmaktır. Çalışma, alanyazın taramasına dayalı derleme türünde yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın konusunu ve kuramsal temelini, Bilgen'in Çağdaş ve Demokratik Eğitim Kuramı oluşturmuştur.

Teftişin, yapı ve süreçlerde doğrudan görev yapması dolaylı olarak öğrenciye yansır. Teftiş sisteminde görevli müfettişlerin, öğrenciyi bilişsel, duyuşsal ve psikomotor farklılıklar bağlamında doğru algılaması ve işlevlerini yerine getirmede doğru davranışları örneklemesi beklenir. Sonuç olarak, müfettişlerin, çağdaş ve demokratik düşünüş ve davranışlar göstermesi, bunu hayat felsefesi haline getirmesi; işlevler yoluyla da amacın gerçekleşmesine yöneltmesi beklenir. ; The purpose of this study is to analyse and interpret the consultancy, guidance, examine-research and control functions of supervision within the frame of contemporary and democratic education and to make relevant suggestions. This is a review study based on the related literature. Contemporary and Democratic Education Theory builds up the subject and theoretical basis of the study. Supervision is the administrative sub-system assigned to carry out general purposes of Turkish National Education. Education raises future individuals through current understanding and methods. Current inputs and process variables will affect future citizens of Turkey. Students are in the centre of education process. Supervision functioning in the structure and processes directly reflects on students. It is hoped that supervisors should understand students properly in terms of their cognitive, affective, and psychomotor differences, and exemplify right behaviours. To conclude, it is expected supervisors should display contemporary and democratic thinking and behaviours, adopt these in their lives, and ensure that educational purposes realize through supervision functions.

Corruption is a major drain on the effective use of resources for education and should be drastically curbed. Corruption in education is particularly damaging because it endangers a country's social, economic and political future. Corruption in education is more detrimental than corruption in other sectors because of its long-term effects. Corruption threatens equal access quantity and quality of education. Its consequences are particularly has for the poor who, without access to education or with no alternative but low-quality education, have a little chance to escape a life of poverty. Corruption is incompatible with one of the major aims in education – producing citizens that respect the law and human rights. If children come to believe that personal effort and merit do not count and that success comes through manipulation, favouritism and bribery, then the very foundations of society are shaken. The article argues that the problems posed by corruption in education have been neglected for too long. DOI:10.5901/mjss.2014.v5n23p1308
