“…Within the context of gender, different findings were obtained in the studies carried out in our country. While in some studies (Akkaya, 2009;Deniz-Türkel, 2006) it is stated learned resourcefulness is not changed depending on gender, in some others (Bekçi, 2009;Coşkun, 2008) it is stated that girls have characteristics of learned resourcefulness more than boys whereas in some studies (Goff, 2011) it is asserted boys have more characteristics.…”

High school education is a process involving quite challenging life situations such as university entrance exam preparation, career choice, as well as autonomy development. While some students overcome with the difficulties successfully, the others might not demonstrate the same skills. The differences among students are explained with learned resourcefulness. Many factors such as the relationships with parents have an effect to develop learned resourcefulness. In this study, determination of the predictive power of gender, parental attitudes, and values on learned resourcefulness of high school students were aimed. The study is designed according to the survey model. The sample consisted of 420 (F=202; M=218) high school students studying in different schools in Istanbul. Parental Attitude Scale, Rosembaum's Learned Resourcefulness Scale, Schwartz Value Scale, and personal information sheet were used as measurements. Results showed that gender, parental attitudes and values had predictive power on learned resourcefulness. It was also gained that mother and father educational levels had significant effects on learned resourcefulness, whereas number of siblings and birth order did not yield any effects. The result indicated that effects of parents' on their children must be investigated in terms of cultural themes.

Purpose: To carry out a systematic literature review on strategic orientation to educational innovation (SOEI), considering methodological and conceptual aspects.Design/methodology: Four macro-processes were implemented: identification (study location), description (information extraction), in-depth analysis (grouping and characterization patterns) and dissemination. The studies were identified through Scopus and Web of Science. The search expressions yielded 63 documents; afterwards, quality control was carried out using seven inclusion/exclusion criteria; the final sample consisted of 19 documents subject to review. Findings:With regard to methodological aspects, qualitative studies stand out, with the educational institution as the unit of analysis, and pedagogical documents as the most frequent source of information. Likewise, the description form proves to be the most commonly used data collection instrument. In terms of the conceptual aspects of the SOEI, findings include strategic purposes, mediating mechanisms and the results of said construct.Originality/value: This article portrays the state of the art of the SOEI, proposes a comprehensive definition of said construct and proposes a new conceptual model of the SOI that takes into account its main strategic purposes, mediating mechanisms and results. Therefore, it is a reference for future empirical works that seek to study innovation in educational institutions and explain their results.

“…14,21 According to Evans et al, individuals who understand how they contribute to their organization's vision and purpose are generally inclined to make a positive contribution to a greater purpose. 15 Personal ownership is a key component to organizational success as it reflects one's willingness to invest in their work. Connors and Smith, authors of, Change the Culture, Change the Game, suggest that employees' experiences foster beliefs about "how we do things around here," and those beliefs, in turn, drive the actions people take.…”

The work of faculty, staff, and students is driven by their alignment with an institution's vision and purpose, as set forth in its strategic plan. Any plan that calls for innovative growth must address certain aspects of organizational culture as roadblocks to success and should foster relationship building to achieve long-standing progress. This demonstration project investigates a method for effecting change through a Small Group Initiative (SGI).Methods: Representatives from faculty and staff were selected by purposive sampling, placed into eight groups of six, and one member of each group was made a facilitator to participate in or facilitate monthly structured discussionbased meetings for a 1-year time period. Participants read one chapter a month of 12: The Elements of Great Managing, which corresponds to the Gallup Q12 Employee Engagement survey that each participant completed at the beginning and end of the program. Results:Findings indicate an overall increase in participant levels of employee engagement and increased levels of personal ownership in regard to the strategic plan after participating in the SGI. Conclusions: Many other institutional efforts aimed at the advancement of school-wide vision and employee engagement can be cumbersome to implement and require a substantial allocation of resources. The SGI, however, requires minimal resources, limited infringement on regular activity, and minimal direct cost to implement. These factors suggest that the SGI could be tailored to meet specific needs of leadership and may have broad-based applicability across various academic settings.
