「組織發展理論」及其在學校組織革新上的意義

The Theory of Organization Development and Its Implication for the Innovation of School Organization

教育發展是社會變遷的反映,然而教育應有其本身的價值與目的。因此,欲促進教育的發展,須先認清社會變遷的本質和需要,然後擬訂適當的計畫,使教育「質」與「量」能平衡發展。學校是教育發展的重心,其革新的成效直接影響到教育的發展,所以必須積極培養學校主動適應社會變遷的能力(如解決問題和創造的能力),而不應再消極地接受法律和行政命令的約束;而教育的發展更須注重學校革新諸因素的整體配合此外,更要在教育的過程中避免過分機械化、標準化和非人性的產生,而使學校成為具有人文氣氛的環境,從而推動學校教育的整體革新。上述問題的產生,已漸成為學校組織研究的重要領域。為求學校教育的推展更為順利、成功、對學校組織特性的了解,以及對學校組織問題的解決,乃成為教育革新和教育研究當務之急。
