PERCEPCIÓN DE EQUIPOS DIRECTIVOS SOBRE LA GESTIÓN DEL CURRÍCULUM EN ESCUELAS CHILENAS DE BAJO DESEMPEÑO.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how management teams perceive curriculum management in low-performing Chilean schools. School principals from 25 institutions considered poorly performing were interviewed about the factors that hinder curriculum management at the macro, medium, and micro levels. The findings show that the executive teams tend to identify barriers to curriculum management in aspects unrelated to their leadership practices and attribute the responsibility for the results to the pedagogical management of teachers and student performance. The conclusion is that it is necessary to strengthen pedagogical leadership and the involvement of school leaders to ensure consistency between the guidelines of the required curriculum and its flexible and situated implementation according to the contexts and needs of the schools.
