STATE OF THE ART ON PRINCIPAL LEADERSHIP AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
Main Article Content
Abstract
The approach to the school principal's leadership has been gaining importance since the early years of the 21st century, given that the school of this era faces challenges that require not only the attention of academic processes, but also school management from the planning, direction and evaluation of measures and strategies in the administrative, financial, directive and community areas in order to offer a quality education. The purpose of this document review is to analyze some recent research that has been developed as doctoral theses in the international context, and that deal with the way in which educational management and leadership styles can positively influence educational quality. For this purpose, a documentary review was carried out that allowed the identification of seven studies that complied with the thematic, geographical and temporal delimitation. As a result, it was found that knowledge of school management processes and the exercise of managerial, transformational and distributed leadership styles, among others, enable pedagogical leadership that provides educational quality, promotes innovation and improves the development of educational communities.
