Innovative Organization and The Quality Development of Primary Schools in 21st Century

Abstract

The Innovative Organization (IO) is a modern management concept that aims
to transform organizations into those with characteristics and behaviors that systematically and continuously foster innovation, creating added value, differentiation, and competitiveness. This type of organization emphasizes integrating organizational management with human resource development to ensure that personnel possess the knowledge, creativity, and skills necessary to initiate, innovate, and adapt appropriately
to change. This innovation enhances work quality, generates sustainable economic and social outcomes, and fosters a continuous and stable organizational learning culture.
For elementary schools, the Innovative Organization concept is crucial because it enhances the quality of education to meet the demands of the 21st century. It involves four key factors: leadership, climate, culture, and organizational behavior, which are fundamental to creating a quality learning environment.

              The development of quality schools requires operating under the Innovative Organization concept, which aims to create a learning environment conducive to creativity, experimentation, and knowledge application. This approach aims to transform elementary schools into innovative organizations that generate new, high-quality, and practically applicable knowledge across teaching, management, teacher development, community engagement, and sustainable educational outcomes for the 21st century. This includes infrastructure for lifelong learning, such as digital classrooms, e-libraries, and creative spaces, as well as a robust quality assurance system. To create innovation and best practices, driving innovation organizations can be done through the development of innovations in management, curriculum, teaching and learning, and appropriate and effective supervision, monitoring and evaluation.
