Adaptation of John Kotter's theoretical model of organizational change, for the introduction and implementation of educational policies
Abstract
The design and implementation of educational policies, in centralized educational systems, such as the ones of Greece and Cyprus, are issued almost exclusively by the state. The literature has demonstrated that many of the educational policies introduced are either poorly implemented or fail completely, mainly because of inadequate planning, lack of vision and the absence of educational partners from the relevant process. Although in the Greek language literature a research-evaluated, theoretical model of educational policy planning and implementation, is completely absent, in the wider literature a significant number of research, has studied how organizational change models are utilized, for reforms in educational contexts. In this article, we first refer to the educational systems of Greece and Cyprus as well as the reasons that may be responsible for the poor results in relation to the implementation of educational policies. We then analyze and adapt in the context of the implementation of educational policies, one of the most widespread and applied models of organizational change, that of John Kotter.
