Empirical Expression of School Shift

Summary/Abstract: Change - is one of the essential characteristics of the post-modern society. Variety of authors, having investigated the educational situation of the contemporary era, define it as the period of systemic reforms, with the education systems entering the period of permanent, lasting change. The success of reforms in the educational sphere is vitally dependent on the systems approach, i.e. the awareness of the educational system elements planned to undergo change, aiming at the objectives defined by the reform. School can be approached from several different aspects, namely: school as an institution that needs to guarantee the match between the learning and the positional functioning; school as a (learning) organisation that orients itself towards combining the priorities of educational and operation systems; school as an education system that outlines the efficiency of education of a school The presumption is, that a school with the distinct characteristics of a learning organisation is an outwardly adapted participant of educational reform, while a school with the weak distinction of the above-mentioned characteristics, or in case of their absence, comes to be an observer. This means, that the identification of the intensity of the learning organisation's indicators allows the identification of school's participation in the educational reform. Changes at school are identified by - the comprehension of common needs, ability to manage the development processes, formation of a unique education system - indicate the significance of the change of school as an institution to a school as an organisation and the systems-based policy school context changes.
