Controversies and Misunderstandings in the Issue of Assuming Responsibility for Changing Educational Organizations

The preparation of the change process involves concerns in the direction of the clarification of some aspects related to the identification of the problem and the definition of the conditions, the specification of the goals, and the elimination of false goals, as well as the verification of the feasibility of the change. Through multiple research methods, structured observations, survey techniques, and systematic analysis of documents, norms, and legislation specific to the quality of educational organizations, the present study offers, as an answer, implementation models of change. The result that emerges from the analysis is the following: at the level of educational organizations, the adaptation process has a multi-determined character (by the internal needs of the organization, which may concern the administrative, instructional-educational, managerial level or the requirements of the social environment), multidimensional (the change having strong psychological, educational, social, strategic influences), multilevel (targets both the individual and the organizational level).
