Exploring Learning Agility in Education: The Effect of Teachers' Learning Agility on Their Readiness for Change and Performance

Öz

Learning agility is the ability to learn from experiences and to apply these learnings rapidly and successfully in the event of new problems. This research aims to reveal whether the learning agility of teachers in Turkey had an impact on their readiness for change and performance. The explanatory sequential research design was adopted to further clarify the relationship between the variables. The quantitative phase of the study was conducted on a sample group consisting of 1640 teachers working in public schools in Istanbul. Subsequently, data were obtained through semi-structured interviews from 21 teachers working in public schools, and the data were analyzed by content analysis. According to the quantitative research findings, teachers' learning agility positively affects readiness for change and performance. The qualitative findings of the study revealed that teachers developed their learning agility through training, research and experience. It has been determined that teachers with high learning agility are open-minded and ready for change. Teachers achieve speed and flexibility in classroom practices by finding solutions to the problems brought about by change. In addition, unlike the quantitative findings, the qualitative findings revealed that teachers were not sufficiently prepared for change and even showed resistance to change. The findings provide clues about teachers' professional development and educational reform and change initiatives.
