“…Discussing school culture development process in schools and its relation to school effectiveness Cavanaugh and Dellar (2003) viewed that school culture "is manifested, developed, maintained and transformed by the sharing of beliefs, values and norms amongst teachers resulting in commonality of purpose and actions intended to improve the learning of both students and teachers" (p. 199). To show full agreement with this statement, Kuen (2009) studied different research studies such as Cheng (1993) who claimed that, in schools better productivity, flexibility, and adaptability has always remained the result of strong culture among the individuals within the school; Aelterman et al (2007) argued that betterment and wellbeing of teachers is related to school culture; Brady (2005) and Cavanaugh and Waugh (2004) considered school culture as increasing student outcomes; and Cheng (1989) believed that school culture increase organizational commitment and job satisfaction of the teachers. Similarly, it would be a sequence for school effectiveness if certain conditions for example school culture are achieved (Hopkins, Stringfield, Harris, Stoll, & Mackay, 2014).…”

The main aim of this study is to find out that the development of school culture needs no extra budget, but has a great role in motivation. The research design was non-experimental design with survey study. Different statistical methods such as descriptive statistics and Spearman rho were used to analyze the data using SPSS-22 and AMOS-22. It was found that the present level of school culture in the stated schools is low and there is a significant relationship between school culture and school effectiveness.

-While educational data are typically analyzed with statistical software, data mining techniques are increasingly appropriate in revealing complex relationships among multiple variables in large amounts of data. We experimented with the rough set method in conjunction with statistical analysis to identify patterns in, and thereby extract meaning from, complex educational data. Results establish the benefits of combining rough set decision making with stochastic analysis in mining exceedingly complex and difficult to interpret educational data sets.

A dynamic and very rapid change of time can only be followed by the mastery of information literacy. Students with high information literacy skills will understand information or materials given in the classroom more easily, and acquire knowledge more accurately. To obtain or develop information literacy competencies, it is necessary to establish a typical behavior in responding to the information. Students' involvement in the classroom can encourage them to behave better academically, be motivated, more curious in learning and be more enthusiastic in mastering the classroom materials. Classroom involvement is influenced by students' interest of the learning process (both in course materials and learning strategies), which has an impact on their learning achievement. Student and teacher collaboration in the classroom may also have an indirect effect on learning outcomes. Besides, class culture can increase the active participation of learners and encourage high-level thinking. Hence, the ability of positive and quality information literacy is influenced by how individuals are actively involved and able to practice the values they get in the classroom.
