Leadership and Its Relationship to the Development of Teachers’ Collaborative Work Skills: A Proposal for Pedagogical Support

Abstract

Administrative leadership promotes teacher collaboration and institutional quality. The objective was to determine the relationship between leadership management and teachers’ collaborative work skills at Planeta Azul School, a private educational institution. Using a quantitative, descriptive-correlational, non-experimental, and cross-sectional approach, a structured questionnaire was administered to the entire population (n=20) of administrators, coordinators, and teachers. The results showed effective communication channels (75%), but revealed gaps in distributive equity and openness to suggestions. Regarding the collaborative work variable, ratings above 80% were observed for indicators related to the interdependence of objectives and the exchange of experiences and materials. Spearman’s correlation coefficient (r_s= 0.535) confirmed a moderate positive relationship between the two variables. It is concluded that there is a moderate, statistically significant positive relationship between managerial leadership and collaborative work in the study population. Based on these findings, a proposal for pedagogical support and circular management was designed, the effectiveness of which will need to be evaluated later through its implementation.
