Liderazgo profesional docente y motivación académica en la educación básica. Una experiencia de praxis educativa

Abstract

An investigation was carried out with the objective of determining the relationship between professional teacher leadership with the academic motivation of basic education students. The study is based on the positivist paradigm with a quantitative approach, applying a field, correlational, descriptive, transectional and non-experimental methodological design. The study population was made up of 14 teachers and 15 students. The survey was used as a technique and the questionnaire with Likert-type scale questions was used as an instrument. The aforementioned instruments were subjected to validation by the judgment of experts in the field. The results show the existence of a moderate correlation between professional teacher leadership and the academic motivation of students, highlighting the need to recognize the strengths and weaknesses in the various dimensions studied in order to pertinently meet the school requirements.
