1. Το σχολείο ως οργανισμός μάθησης: αποτύπωση της υφιστάμενης κατάστασης στην πρωτοβάθμια εκπαίδευση / The school as a learning organization: a depiction of the current situation in primary education

Abstract

This short assignment, which is part of a broader research project, aims to research the attitude, the perception and the practices of educators in primary education, making mention of the current situation as far as the running of schools as organizations of learning is concerned. The survey was conducted in 2016 through anonymous questionnaires which were answered by 270 educators of primary school in four prefectures in Greece. The results show that the respondents regard team meetings in each specialty as well as the creation of cross-curricular teams as the most important techniques in organizational learning, with the formulation of a common goal being the most important of all. Moreover, it reveals that a small number of students participate in collaborative activities and have the ability to develop their talents.
