Pedagogical internships in a learning community

Abstract

A community that fosters learning is characterized by facilitating the integral and sustainable development of its goals, inspiring responsibility, dedication, effort, creativity and innovation in its collaborators for both individual and institutional benefit, which leads to the strengthening of pedagogical leadership. However, achieving these goals is often a challenge due to several factors, such as the unwillingness of veteran collaborators to transmit their experience free of charge and quickly to new employees, the lack of interest and conformism of workers to continue growing professionally, a limited vision to achieve organizational objectives, little or no implementation of internships in the daily practice of collaborators, managers and directors, and the arrival of new collaborators, both teachers and administrative and logistical staff, as a result of internal and external social movements, who inevitably become interns. This motivated to determine the influence of pedagogical internships for the strengthening of pedagogical leadership. The study responds to a quantitative, experimental, one group only after design approach. Descriptive and inferential results are presented. The sample is made up of 64 teachers from different educational centers. It is concluded that pedagogical internships have a positive influence on the strengthening of pedagogical leadership in the educators of a learning community
