Social capital and tendency to violence in education organizations

Social capital has been one of the interests which sociology, emerging as a result of effort of understanding the importance of social changes and transformation after tha Industry Revolution, has given importance to in the recent years. The notion of social capital, which took its name in the early 20th century and was later conceived by the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu and carried on academic adjustment, attracted much attention with the work of Coleman and especially Putnam. Later, Fukuyama brought a new dimension to social capital by considering the dimension of trust. Scientists working on the theory base social capital on what Alexis de Tocqville wrote about American democracy. If we look at the dimensions of the concept, it is possible to find the traces of social capital in the fairy tales, myths, stories, proverbs, old tales and folk songs that human beings have produced since ancient years. So considering Hanifan L.J. as a starting point is considered to be healthier. There are researches that measure the relation between academic achievement and social capital in educational organizations. It has been observed that the social capital of education organizations is measured by teachers and administrators. The measurement of the social capital which is already problematic is thought to be the result of comparing the social capital of a stakeholder with the social capital levels of the other stakeholder in an organization with a triple stakeholder such as a teacher-student-parent. The social capital levels of teachers and students were measured separately in 2550 students and 292 teachers in Düzce province and the difference between them was determined. It was also determined that there was a significant relationship between the social capital levels of students and their tendency to violence. That social capital of the students who smoke,drink alcohol and use substance is low and their violence tendency is high of the another findings of the research.
