SCHOOL ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE
SCHOOL ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE

Summary/Abstract: Organizational culture of the school is based on a system of values and concepts, shared by all of its members, that determines their behaviour and guides the school’s activity. Knowing the organizational culture characteristics is achieved through socialization. By socializing, getting in touch with other human beings, one gradually becomes a knowledgeable, self-aware being accustomed to the ways of being of that culture. Socialization connects different generations. Education is an aspect of the socialization process through which people achieve the behaviours necessary to participate in social life. In other words, the culture of an educational institution could be defined as the set of values, beliefs, aspirations, and behaviors of the members of a school, which prevails within, developed over time and it directly and indirectly conditions its functionality and performance. The educational culture that accompanies an institution in its journey toward change, is a group process in which all members of society learn new ways to lay the foundations of education, understanding that it is a lengthy process based upon the formation of prosocial behaviours and habits among students. Socializing through education, within the school as an organization, involves the transmission, appropriation, internalization and application of cultural, scientific, philosophical, ethical, economic values.
