ABSTRACT
To achieve the deliverables of the 21st-century learning agendas, the education system needs to innovate itself in a multi-faceted manner, enabling schools as agents of organisational change through innovation, collaboration, empowerment and effective school functioning. A learning organisation model has been proposed based on review of articles suitable for the Indian Education System. Lack of a comprehensive tool assessing the school effectiveness and educational outcomes necessitates development and validation of school learning organisation scale for Indian setting. The current study examines the psychometrics of the school learning organisation (SLO) scale, exploratory factor analyses (EFA) revealed five factors: School Vision, Professional Development of Teachers, Embedded systems, Learning Community & Collegiality and Leadership & Technology Usage. Finally, the proposed model was examined to test its goodness of fit by applying SEM through confirmatory factor analysis.
