Educational Management: Social Dimension, Transformations, Challenges and Challengesd

Abstract

The main purpose of this work was to study educational management from the social dimension in the current historical development, from an approach to the phenomenological events in school institutions. The qualitative paradigm was assumed as a methodological scenario for the analysis of the transformations that arise from the challenges that educational institutions must face in the current situation and that imply conceiving formative processes oriented towards the formation of quality professional resources. Due to its nature, the type of research was documentary and the bibliographic design allowed the review of authors, theories and documents on this fundamental topic, since documentary sources on educational management, its social influence and its impact on institutional transformations were selected from Scopus, SciELO and Google Scholar databases. The results obtained indicate that educational management is a tool that supports institutions in achieving their purposes. Among the conclusions, it is highlighted that innovations are executed as a product of the managerial conception, allowing in historical stages such as the current contemporary one, to decipher the nature of the events in this contemporary era to adjust educational policies towards possible scenarios, where macro objectives are the practical and teleological orientation in the daily work. Moreover, from the practical dimension, educational management can be optimized so that it responds to contextual needs.
