La relación entre el nuevo modelo de gestión educativa y la gestión escolar y pedagógica: un estudio de caso en dos escuelas de educación general básica del Norte de Quito

Abstract

This research consists of discovering the relationship between the new model of educational management and pedagogical management that takes place in two schools that belong to the private and fiscal support. This study has its origin in the participant observation during the pre-service teacher training program developed in two schools of basic general education. The research revealed that the main purpose of the new model of educational management is incongruent to its development. A qualitative methodology was used in this study because it allows the interrelationship with the participants of the research to collect data. Participant observation, diary studies and interviews were applied to two teachers and three coordinators of the educational institutions. The results showed that there is not a relationship between the new management model proposed by the Ministry of Education of Ecuador and the pedagogical management of both samples due several difficulties in its development. Consequently, there is an inconsistency in what is planned and applied. Furthermore, this research revealed that teachers and authorities in charge of the schools do not have a close relationship. That is, the training courses and educational improvements offered by them are not evident to the Ecuadorian education.
