Το σχολικό κλίμα στην Πρωτοβάθμια Εκπαίδευση: ένας σημαντικός παράγοντας της αξιολόγησης και αποτελεσματικότητας της σχολικής μονάδας

Περίληψη

This study investigates the organizational climate perceived by 444 teachers in 42 state primary schools in Greece, and its relationship with teacher, head teacher and school (OCDQ-RE) instrument of Hoy and Clover (1986). The OCDQ-RE is a standardized questionnaire which provides an instrument for measuring teachers' perceptions of teacher-teacher and headteacher-teacher social interaction. Findings reveal four school profiles: open, almost disengaged, almost closed and closed. The best predictors of school openness are school's low socio-economic level and teachers' age and experience. From the results some implications may be advanced for ongoing policy discussion in the field of educational administration and school improvement in Greece.
