Abstract
El COVID-19 implicó un gran desafío para las escuelas en tanto reorganizó los procesos
de aprendizaje y su funcionamiento, contexto en el cual el rol de directores y directoras fue
fundamental. Previamente la literatura había dado cuenta de características propias del liderazgo femenino tales como la incorporación de las emociones y el desarrollo de entornos más
colaborativos y solidarios. Este artículo analiza las acciones desplegadas por directoras escolares
que facilitaron el abordaje de la crisis generada por el COVID-19. Se realizó un estudio de
caso en el que se abordaron las experiencias de 12 directoras de la capital de Chile a través de
entrevistas en profundidad. Los resultados muestran que las directoras ejercieron un liderazgo
positivo marcado por un componente de cuidado en los ámbitos de sus interacciones, su contexto
y su gestión y administración. Se concluye que dichas acciones permitieron lograr un equilibrio
entre las necesidades individuales y colectivas impulsando el bienestar de sus comunidades.
COVID-19 was a great challenge for schools. It forced the reorganisation of learning processes and their operation in a context where school principals played a key role. Previous studies had shown some of the defining characteristics of female leadership to be the ration of emotions and the development of more collaborative and supportive environments. This article analyses the actions carried out by female school principals that facilitated the management of the crisis generated by COVID-19. Employing a case-study methodology, the experiences of 12 female principals from the capital of Chile were addressed through in-depth interviews. The results suggest that female principals exercised positive leadership defined by a caring component in the areas of their interactions, their context and their management and administration. We conclude that these actions allowed them to achieve a balance between the individual and collective needs of the educational actors, promoting the well-being of their communities.
