Professional pedagogical approach of the management team in schools in the Dominican Republic

Abstract

The article reflects on the professional pedagogical performance of the management team in Primary Level schools in the Dominican Republic, a topic that has been analyzed and debated in recent years, as shortcomings are perceived in this regard, both in their academic preparation and in their actions, related to the limited use of technological tools and the handling of situations that arise in the course of their work. Likewise, the reviewed scientific literature does not sufficiently argue, from a theoretical perspective, this study event, so it is necessary to seek new perspectives that contribute to the improvement of the work of the mentioned team. Consequently, this article is presented with the purpose of analyzing the relationship between institutional management and the management team in the Dominican context. The semi-structured interview, observation, and document review allowed for the collection of information. The sample was made up of directors, coordinators, and counselors from five schools in District 15-05, Herrera. The main result provides foundations that help in building a new theoretical perspective on professional pedagogical practice, considered a reference point for improving the role of the management team. This research strengthens teachers' pedagogical practice in developing students' competencies through the management team's way of acting, and their performance as companions and evaluators of educational processes.
