| description | Objective: To learn about the skills of the educational principal in Panama, for which we focus on schools with elementary school principals from 1st to 6th grade.Originality/Contribution: We provide a perspective on educational leadership in Panamanian schools based on the perceptions and experience of principals.
Method: This project, of a mixed nature, mainly takes up the perceptions and experience of school principals on how they manage schools, the characteristics of principals, characteristics of schools, management course and activity, and institutional policy.Strategies / data collection: Quantitatively, the sample was taken from the general characterization of the educational centers registered in the educational system of the Republic of Panama, for the year 2020, provided by the Statistics Office of the Ministry of Education. Qualitatively, the "Survey on the Perception of Educational Leadership of Panama's Elementary School Principals" was designed, and direct and participant observation was carried out, as well as written and recorded oral surveys, where the principals expressed their opinions freely.
Conclusions: The main characteristics that principals themselves should have to lead projects are self-organization, as managers, personal values and effective communication. Early monitoring by the Ministry of Education of teachers who demonstrate leadership skills is also important to motivate their training as possible successors in management. |

Se diseñó la “Encuesta de percepción de Liderazgo Educativo de directivos de escuelas primarias de Panamá”; cualitativamente, se realizó observación directa y participante, así mismo, se aplicaron encuestas impresas y orales grabadas, donde los directores expresaron sus opiniones libremente. Conclusiones: Las principales características que los propios directores deben tener para dirigir proyectos son la autoorganización como gestores, los valores personales y la comunicación; el monitoreo temprano del Ministerio de Educación de los docentes que presenten habilidades de liderazgo y su formación como posibles sucesores en la dirección. Objetivo: Conhecer as competências dos diretores de escolas no Panamá, pelo que nos centrámos nas escolas com diretores de escolas primárias do 1º ao 6º ano. Originalidade/contributo: Oferecer uma perspectiva sobre a liderança educativa nas escolas panamianas com base nas percepções e na experiência dos diretores. Método: Este projeto foi de natureza mista, tendo em conta principalmente as percepções e a experiência dos diretores escolares sobre a forma como dirigem as escolas, as características dos diretores, as características das escolas, a trajetória e a atividade da direção e a política institucional. Estratégias/recolha de datos: Quantitativamente, a amostra foi selecionada com base na caraterização geral das escolas do sistema educativo da República do Panamá para o ano letivo de 2020, fornecida pelo Gabinete de Estatística do Ministério da Educação. Foi concebido o Inquérito à Percepção da Liderança Educativa dos Diretores das Escolas Primárias do Panamá; qualitativamente, foi realizada a observação direta e participante, bem como inquéritos orais impressos e gravados, onde os diretores escreveram e discutiram as suas impressões. Conclusões: Entre as principais características que os próprios diretores consideram para serem diretores, destacam-se, em primeiro lugar, a experiência na liderança de projetos, a auto-organização como gestor e, logicamente, os valores pessoais e a comunicação. O MEDUCA deve acompanhar desde cedo os professores que apresentam capacidades de liderança e formá-los para serem sucessores dos diretores.
