Evaluating Schools on Innovation Term: Phenomenological Research

Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate schools in the framework of becoming innovative organizations according to the views of teachers and administrators through the concept of innovation. The research was designed in phenomenological qualitative research designs. The study group of the research consists of 18 participants working at primary, secondary and high school levels. The data were collected with a semi-structured interview form based on the literature. Content analysis method was used in data analysis. According to the research finding, reasons such as technological developments, disasters and increasing competition are the main reasons for innovation movements in schools. In addition, innovation initiatives such as spreading technological applications, improving learning processes and heightening skills training are more common in schools. According to another finding, there is a need for innovation movements in the areas of equipment, curriculum and reducing the number of classes in schools. According to another finding, administrators and teachers should have leadership skills, take initiative and exhibit innovative behaviours in the innovation process. According to the results of the research, considering that technology and artificial intelligence affect our daily lives in many aspects, it has become a necessity to increase innovative behaviours in schools to attract students' interest and increase their focus on the lesson. In addition, it has been concluded that many innovative movements in the field of education were not on the desired level. Schools are institutions that process, produce, present and spread knowledge. Therefore, schools should be able to adapt to the changing world conditions and adapt to change significantly.
