PEDAGOGICAL LEADERSHIP FROM THE DIMENSIONS OF BEING: AN ANALYSIS FOR THE ACADEMIC AND PERSONAL SUCCESS OF PRIMARY EDUCATION STUDENTS

Abstract

Throughout history, and since its very beginning, teaching has been a true challenge, requiring permanent leadership positions, given the enormous social responsibility involved not only in teaching or imparting knowledge, but also in assuming well-founded roles, from a position of true pedagogical leadership towards learners. Human beings, and even more so today, need to be provided with formative, ethical, emotional, and sensitive tools that take into account all other dimensions of their being. Educational paradigms have evolved as the world has evolved, and in that sense, the didactic task, which is otherwise a titanic one, should be responsible, along with other social strata, for preparing children so that, throughout their school life, in addition to learning, they develop as true leaders, through connection with their family environment and their teachers, who are responsible for guiding the paths of the little ones. In this documentary research, with a qualitative approach, we will explore various perspectives, both national and international, which will allow us to analyze these approaches and reach conclusions about the importance of training, maintaining, and developing leaders from an early age and in primary education, preparing them to face an increasingly demanding society eager to find new and better leaders.
