THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL AND SOCIAL INNOVATION IN SCHOOLS DURING COVID-19

Abstract

Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, which was declared as a pandemic in March 2020, daily business practices have changed all over the world. This change has also affected the field of education and online education has replaced face-to-face education. However, since the teacher and the student are not in the same environment in online education, the effectiveness of the education has been a matter of discussion. In this study, the relationship between innovation and intellectual capital in schools was examined and it was evaluated whether the Covid-19 process created variability in teachers' intellectual capital and innovation perception. The findings obtained from the research conducted with a total of 456 teachers from different branches show that there is a positive relationship between social capital and innovation in schools and that support from the school management and allowing the use of innovative methods in the Covid-19 process has an effect on the perception of innovation and intellectual capital.
