Abstract
Se describe una estrategia de acompañamiento a diez redes de líderes escolares y su efecto en el desarrollo de capacidades directivas, las prácticas de liderazgo y la cultura de aprendizaje, desde la valoración de sus integrantes. Es un estudio mixto de alcance descriptivo. Los participantes son 139 directivos pertenecientes a diez redes de La Araucanía, Chile, acompañados durante dos años y medio por “amigos críticos” de un Centro de Liderazgo Educativo. Las técnicas de recolección de información fueron un cuestionario Likert (pre y post) y entrevistas semiestructuradas. Los resultados indican que los directivos escolares aumentan significativamente su valoración respecto al trabajo en red, y lo reconocen como una estrategia que permite reflexionar sobre sus prácticas de liderazgo y aprender colaborativamente en ambientes de confianza y simetría profesional. Asimismo, valoran al “amigo crítico” como un actor educativo que orienta la transformación de las redes en comunidades profesionales de aprendizaje.
We describe a strategy of accompaniment of ten networks of school leaders and its impact on the development of management skills, leadership practices, and the culture of learning, based on an assessment of their members. It is a mixed study of descriptive scope. The participants are 139 managers pertaining to ten networks in La Araucania, Chile, accompanied for two and a half years by “critical friends” from an Educational Leadership Center. Data gathering techniques were a Likert questionnaire (pre and post) and semistructured interviews. The results indicate that school managers have a significantly higher opinion of networking, and recognize it as a strategy which helps them reflect on their leadership practices and learn collaboratively in environments of trust and professional symmetry. Also, they appreciate the “critical friend” as an educational actor who orients the transformation of networks into professional learning communities.
