POL, Milan; HLOUKOVA, Lenka; NOVOTNY, Petr  and  ZOUNEK, Jií. In Search of the Concept of School Culture. A Contribution to Current Discussions. Rev. Lusófona de Educação [online]. 2007, n.10, pp.63-79. ISSN 1645-7250.

This article deals with the concept of school culture. Its numerous definitions and the absence of unequivocality of this concept have served as the impulse for our exploration into the ways in which school culture tends to be delimited. The inspirations for the definition of school culture are documented, apart from pedagogy, from three traditional sciences - management, anthropology and sociology - and the potential of the “integrative approach” is taken into account. These inspirations include the characterization of the ways in which the concept of school culture is defined. The text is based on the analysis of relevant literature written in English, German, Czech and Slovak.

Keywords : school culture; integrative approach; organization; scientific contribu-tions.
