• W289189850 abstract "Abstract: The purpose of this study to identify the role of Jordanian schools' leadership in transforming their schools into an learning culture by highlighting the importance and goals of adopting an Organizational Learning Approach in a school setting. The study also intends to examine in depth and define the role of school leaders in making changes in school personnel's perceptions of their organizations as a professional learning culture. The study suggests that Jordanian schools' leadership practices learning characteristics in a manner that facilitates the transformation of schools into serious learning cultures. Furthermore, the results indicate that there were no significant differences in school leaders' practices of learning characteristics and the proposed demographics of teachers, except in gender variable. Keywords: Organizational Learning, School Leadership. Introduction Organizations still face criticisms for their inability to make fundamental and structural changes in their settings. Margaret Wheatley (1996), in her Leadership in the New Science, asked why organizations are not working well. Contemporary organizations, including K-12 schools, within the global world, appear to have a diminished ability to address issues of complexity and uncertainty to enhance the organizations' effectiveness. Organizations work hard to perform and act effectively to respond to their dysfunctions (Taylor, 911). This has included doing more of what they have traditionally been doing, doing better what they have already been doing, tightening the control of the organization, defending against an increasingly hostile environment, and, in general, shoring up the existing bureaucracy (Weber, 1949). However, bureaucracy in the educational system did not seem to be up to the task of addressing the aforementioned issues of complexity and uncertainty (Coppieters, 2005) which are growing and compounding in an age of an emerging global community and a technology which loads and overloads the certainty of society in general (Thompson, 1967). As a result, educational organizations have in recent years initiated reforms based on assumptions about how to close the gap of uncertainty and complexity to become more effective and competitive. These institutions aimed to achieve high quality productivity, and enhance the quality of people for continuous teaching and learning growth and improvement. Moreover, these initiatives showed that the traditional approaches of managing are no longer appropriate to foster effectiveness (Wai-Lin Lo, 2005). Therefore, educational organizations initiated some educational reforms to reduce schools uncertainty and complicity by restructuring the learning culture to include not only students, but also school staff as well, and to represent fundamental changes in the learning culture process. A learning culture is more than just organized training and making sure everyone completes [the task]. It also means encouraging and capitalizing on opportunities to transfer knowledge (Martin, 2007, p. 40) to action process which suggests the adoption of lifelong professional development learning in a school setting (Senge, 1990, 1994, Wai-Yin Lo, 2005). This process of lifelong professional development learning which labeled by Argyris and Schon (1974) as organizational learning; could help schools to survive in a changeable world. Adoption of the learning approach principles empower schools to improve their practices and performance towards which schools have to proceed in order to cope with the various pressures they face (Argyris & Schon, 1996, Senge, 1990). That could happen, especially if it known that the rate of change outside schools greater than the rate of change inside (Thompson, 2004). The emphasis on school leaders to implement learning disciplines in order to transform their schools to become a continual lifelong learning culture by inspiring staff to work for the interest of school and to be innovative. …" @default.
