Abstract
SOTO BUILES, Norely; MORILLO PUENTE, Solbey; CALDERON-HERNANDEZ, Gregorio and BETANCUR, Héctor Darío. MANAGERIAL PROFILE OF TEACHER-DIRECTORS IN ANTIOQUIA AND ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT APPROACHES. Innovar [online]. 2020, vol.30, n.77, pp.123-136. Epub Nov 20, 2020. ISSN 0121-5051. https://doi.org/10.15446/innovar.v30n77.87453.
This paper reports the results of a research aimed at studying the relationship between the managerial approach and the personal and professional characteristics of teacher-directors at schools of the 117 non-certified municipalities of Antioquia (Colombia), taking into account the four dimensions of educational management (directive, administrative, academic, and communitarian) into three forms of management: functionalist, structuralist, and critical. The research followed a descriptive, quantitative, and inferential approach, and was carried out with 242 teacher-directors who were selected by stratified random sampling and surveyed through self-administered questionnaires. The results reveal that many of the practices of these directors in each of the dimensions of management are still functional and structural, although a turning point to-wards the so-called critical management is observed. Our findings reveal a statistically significant tendency of teaching directors with graduate studies and more than ten years of experience to place themselves in critical management. Similarly, those with less experience tend to a functionalist community managerial style and show a greater prevalence of critical management in this dimension over the years.
