“En educación todo cambia”: Cómo directoras lideran el ingreso de la educación parvularia al Sistema de Aseguramiento de la Calidad en Chile
Resumen
El sistema educativo chileno ha debido enfrentar importantes desafíos derivados de la pandemia por covid-19. En el caso de la educación parvularia, a estos desafíos se añade además su ingreso al nuevo Sistema de Aseguramiento de la Calidad. A través de un enfoque cualitativo, y considerando las particularidades del liderazgo en educación parvularia, esta investigación tuvo como objetivo explorar cómo las líderes abordan los desafíos de la nueva institucionalidad en el período postpandemia. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de las directoras tiene una visión positiva del proceso, viéndolo como una oportunidad de aprendizaje, construyendo sentido con su equipo pedagógico. Sin perjuicio de aquello, algunas directoras advierten de experiencias más bien negativas, en donde los nuevos requerimientos son trabajados de forma mecánica, sin entender el sentido que traía consigo esta reforma. Estos resultados dan cuenta de importantes desafíos que considerar para la implementación exitosa de esta nueva institucionalidad.
