Patyčios – toks agresorių elgesys, kai negalinčiam pasipriešinti asmeniui nuolat sukeliamas fizinis ar psichologinis diskomfortas. Kadangi šis reiškinys labai paplitęs įvairiose žmonių bendruomenėse: pradedant ikimokyklinėmis įstaigomis ir baigiant akademine bendruomene ar darbo kolektyvais, todėl būtina patyčių prevencija – veiklų, kuriomis siekiama užkirsti nusikalstamo elgesio riziką, visuma, skirta asmenų psichiniam ir fiziniam saugumui užtikrinti. Patyčias, jų prevenciją nagrinėja užsienio ir Lietuvos mokslininkai. Daugiausia dėmesio skiriama šio reiškinio analizei jaunes-niųjų klasių grupėje, tačiau patyčios aktualios ir vyresnių klasių mokiniams. Todėl magistro darbe analizuojamas patyčių prevencijos organizavimas ir įgyvendinimas išgrynintoje gimnazijoje, kurioje mokosi 15 – 19 metų mokiniai. Tyrimo rezultatai parodė, jog patyčios aktualios gimnazijoje, tačiau prevenciniuose renginiuose, kuriuos organizuoja socialinė pedagogė, mokinių taryba, klasių auklėtojos, dalyvauja tik dalis mokinių, ypač neaktyvūs vaikinai. Respondentų nuomone, sėkmingiausiai patyčių prevenciją sekasi įgyvendinti renginius organizuojant ne gimnazijoje, kviečiantis lektorius – žinomus Lietuvos žmones, priimant aiškias mokinių elgesio taisykles, parengtas vadovaujantis ugdymo įstaigos bendruomenės siūlymais, efektyvinant gimnazistų saugumo stebėseną, teikiant individualias konsultacijas, mokinių elgesį svarstant mokytojų posėdžių metu.

Mokykloms, kaip ir kitoms organizacijoms, būdinga organizacijos kaita, nors jų bendruomenė ir yra linkusi išlaikyti status quo, dėl dažnai suprantamo kultūros išsaugojimo, kaip konkrečios visuomenės stabilumo garanto, misijos supratimo. Taigi, mokytojo misija tampa būti tuo įžvalgiu liudininku tarp visuomenės suprastų pokyčių būtinumo ir mokyklos bendruomenės, besivadovaujančios tradicija. Vadinasi, mokyklos tapimas besimokančia organizacija įtakotų sėkmingesnį šios misijos atlikimą. Ši idėja remiasi daugelio mokslininkų darbais, kuriuose akcentuojama, kad mokymasis tampa esminiu individo sėkmingos karjeros ir organizacijos išlikimo veiksniu bei sėkmingo vystymosi ir prisitaikymo prie kintančios aplinkos garantu. Organizacijų gebėjimas aptikti žinias, asimiliuoti naujas idėjas, pritaikyti jas veikloje greičiau negu varžovai - turi tiesioginę įtaką konkurenciniam pranašumui, vystymuisi ir išlikimui rinkoje. Mokymasis integruojasi į organizacijos veiklą, yra šių dienų sampratoje nauja darbo forma, produktyvios veiklos sąlyga ir garantas. Vadinasi, gimnazijos tapimas besimokančia tampa viena iš išlikimo rinkoje ir jos įtakojimo, prielaidų, tačiau pirmiausia yra tikslinga išsiaiškinti, kiek organizacija yra pasirengusi ja tapti. Tai ir sudaro šio darbo mokslinę problemą. Tyrimo objektas - pasirengimas tapti besimokančia organizacija. Tyrimo tikslas - įvertinti gimnazijos pasirengimą tapti besimokančia organizacija. Tyrimo uždaviniai: - išryškinti gimnazijos, kaip...

So, schoolteacher’s mission is to be that insightful witness between the necessities for a change as the society sees it, and the tradition-oriented school community. Thus, school becoming a learning organization would facilitate successful implementation of this mission. This idea refers to the scientific works, which emphasize the fact that learning becomes the main factor in individual’s successful career and survival of an organization and guarantees ability to adapt to the constantly changing environment. Capability of organizations to discover knowledge, assimilate new ideas, to apply them in practice faster than the competitors, has a direct impact on their competitiveness, development and survival in the market. Learning becomes integral part of organizational activity. In modern-day understanding it is a new form of work; it also conditions and ensures productivity. This means that for gymnasium becoming a learning organization is one of prerequisites for survival and influence in the market, but first and foremost it is important to ascertain to what extent is the organization ready to become such.
