koulukulttuuria

Koulukulttuuria, or school culture, refers to the shared values, norms, and practices that exist within a particular educational institution. It encompasses the unwritten rules, traditions, and social dynamics that shape the behavior and interactions of students, teachers, and staff. School culture can vary significantly from one institution to another, influenced by factors such as location, size, and the specific educational philosophy of the school.

A positive school culture is often characterized by high levels of student engagement, strong teacher-student relationships, and a supportive learning environment. It fosters a sense of community and belonging, where students feel valued and respected. Conversely, a negative school culture can lead to low morale, high levels of absenteeism, and poor academic performance.

School culture is not static; it can evolve over time as new students, teachers, and administrators join the institution. It can also be influenced by external factors such as changes in curriculum, school policies, and societal trends. Understanding and fostering a positive school culture is crucial for the overall well-being and success of students and the school community as a whole.
