Organizational culture is crucial for all living institutional structures and has become a critical research topic. Although different variables have been investigated in the literature as predictors of organizational culture, to our knowledge, the role of social values and life skills as mediators hasn’t been investigated before. This study, therefore, aims to investigate the role of social values and life skills as mediators of organizational culture. The hypotheses of the research were tested in the context of this research aim. The present study, which is in the relational survey model, included 370 participants consisting of teachers and school leaders working in 22 different educational institutions. The findings showed that teachers and school leaders had high levels of organizational culture, social values, and life skills. The relationship of organizational culture with social values and life skills is meaningful and high. Also, the findings indicate a partial effect on mediating organizational culture between social values and life skills.

“…For example, it was shown that schools' different visions regarding technology's potential to enhance learning impacted how Technology Enhanced Learning practices were shared among the teaching community in Schools A and B. Following previous research, which has posited that school culture is associated with technology use in the classroom (Gürfidan & Koç, 2016), this research revealed that a strong development orientation and active internal and external networking through communities of practice can enhance effective integration of devices into teaching. Hence, in line with previous research (Tondeur et al, 2017), the study showed that learning communities can be valuable in improving teachers' iPad practices.…”

Little research has focused on the implementation of iPad practices in real contexts and the identification of relevant challenges and enablers. This work explored practices relating to using iPads for autistic pupils' social communication (SC) and emotional regulation (ER) based on key stakeholders' perspectives. It employed two case studies undertaken in two primary schools located in the United Kingdom's West Midlands. The data were gathered by interviewing practitioners and parents and analyzing the schools' computing policies. The outcomes varied from iPads being used as multimodal learning tools, to teachers focusing on SC and ER, and parents mainly on recreation and ER. The findings were evaluated using Abbott's concept of e‐inclusion (2007), considering the impact of the relationship between technology, individuals and context on iPad use in situ. Issues are highlighted around pedagogy and teaching methods, offering insights into what drives teachers to make decisions regarding technology use.

“…That workplace culture includes the individual's perception that resources for using technology are available, along with technical support for tackling new devices and applications, and the felt value and encouragement by others with whom the educator works. Education administration greatly shapes the workplace culture around technology through policies, practices, and resources (e.g., Gurfidan & Koc, 2016). Tondeur et al (2008) observed that technology integration is most likely to occur when there is shared vision for teaching with technology, a well‐developed policy for use, and educators share the values underlying the policies.…”

The purpose of the study was to examine workplace conditions as influences on professional parent and family educator technology acceptance attitudes and to describe their technology use. Background: The rise of new media and information and communications technologies (ICT) has significantly affected the field of parenting and family education in the first part of the 21st century.Methods: On the basis of responses from a national sample to an online survey (N = 631 participants), information search and communications technologies (e.g., email) were employed most frequently; social media, texting, and online learning platforms were used infrequently. Structural equation modeling tested a hypothesized model of influences based on a modified technology acceptance model (TAM, Davis, 1989). Results: Technology attitudes were related directly to perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of technology. Workplace encouragement and workplace infrastructure indirectly influenced acceptance attitudes as mediated by perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, respectively. Workplace encouragement also showed a small but direct influence on technology acceptance.
