Adopting a quantitative research approach, the study utilized a relational survey design. A total of 305 teachers were selected as the sample using a simple random sampling technique to ensure unbiased participation. To gather data, the "Professional Learning Community Scale" and the "Learning Organization Profile Scale" were employed. The analysis involved calculating descriptive statistics, including arithmetic means and standard deviation values. The Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient method was applied to investigate the link between professional learning community practices and organizational learning levels in secondary schools. The findings revealed that teachers perceive both professional learning community practices and organizational learning in their schools at a high level. Additionally, a strong, positive, and significant correlation was identified between organizational learning levels and professional learning community practices, highlighting a meaningful association between these practices and organizational learning in formal secondary education settings.}, number={3}, publisher={Anadolu Üniversitesi}
