Abstract

The characteristics of social relations and social networks among teachers are a source of important predictive information pertaining to trust and cooperation among each other as well as confidence in institutional bodies and education in general. Social capital is all of different entities with common characteristics of actual or potential resources associated with the ownership of a social network of mutual acquaintance and recognition. The aim of this study is to present Primary education teachers' viewpoints of their social capital. The sample consisted of four one hundred Primary education teachers. The questionnaire includes questions regarding teachers' social capital dimensions and questions related to teachers' social capital off the school context, such as interpersonal relations. The results of this quantitative study have shown that Primary education teachers' social capital is related to their attitude towards social cohesion within the educational context, social support and the experienced feeling of 'belonging'.
