Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine teachers' views on what extent the schools in which they are working have the characteristics of learning organizations and the causes of blocks to becoming a Learning Organization. The research (2010 – 2011) was conducted on 214 teachers in primary schools in provincial centre of Amasya determined by simple random sampling. In this research which is a quantitative descriptive study, a questionnaire named as determination of teachers' views on to what extent the primary schools have the characteristics of learning organizations and blocks was used. As a result of the data analysis, it has been confirmed that teachers' views of primary schools in provincial centre of Amasya on the characteristics of learning organizations of the schools in which they are working are in 'mid –level' (M= 2.61-3.40 range) in three dimensions (individual, team and organizational learning). As required for today, the primary schools have to provide the highest level of the characteristics of learning organizations rather than all the other organizations. Therefore the obtained result 'mid –level' wasn't seen enough in terms of the extent that the primary schools have the characteristics of learning organizations. Likewise it is also noteworthy that there are so many blocks of learning organization. Local institutions and organizations including the Ministry of Education must take the necessary measures by investigating deeply the issues that have been in the primary schools to become a learning organization.
