Transformational Leadership and Pedagogical Management in Basic Education Teachers in Peru: A Case Study

Abstract

Transformational leadership and teacher development play a pivotal role in the educational sphere.By strengthening pedagogical skills and fostering a collaborative environment centered on teacher well-being, a more effective and enriching education can be achieved.This research explores the interaction between transformational leadership and pedagogical management in 78 basic education teachers from a Peruvian institution.To this end, Medina's (2010) transformational leadership questionnaire was used, along with adaptations of Oliveros' ( 2011) and Penalva's (2013) questionnaires designed to evaluate pedagogical management.The findings reveal that effective strategies for enhancing teacher motivation and performance include development programs, incentives, and ongoing training.Thus, transformational leadership emerges as an essential element to improve pedagogical competencies and encourage continuous teacher development.In conclusion, the significance of teachers' emotional and physical well-being for their classroom effectiveness is emphasized, underscoring the need for programs that boost this leadership style and ensure the well-being and sustained training of educators.
