Proposal for a pedagogical leadership model for principals of charter primary schools. Application of confirmatory factor analysis

Abstract

The aim is to confirm a Pedagogical Leadership Model for principals of charter primary schools. 68 principals participated, through a trend survey. The following were carried out: Exploratory Factor Analysis (Maximum Likelihood and Promax rotation) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (AMOS 5.0©). The most relevant result is the non-confirmation of the model. It is clear that the exercise of shared leadership does not necessarily correspond to an action intended to improve the performance of the teaching staff, nor to the capacity to bring about changes in the functioning of the centers and/or in the collaboration with the families.
