gestión directiva, liderazgo digital, innovación educativa, competencias directivasResumo
Los escenarios que imponen los procesos de transformación tecnológica demandan de una constante innovación en la gestión directiva, la cual, al estar orientada a impulsar la calidad en los centros educativos, asume nuevos matices en la era digital. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo: identificar y analizar las competencias clave que deben desarrollar los directivos para liderar instituciones educativas en entornos digitales complejos y cambiantes. La investigación se desarrolló bajo un enfoque cualitativo de tipo documental, mediante la revisión sistemática de literatura científica reciente sobre liderazgo educativo y transformación digital. Los hallazgos reflejan que el liderazgo digital, la gestión de la innovación, la toma de decisiones basada en datos, la cultura organizacional orientada al cambio y la comunicación institucional estratégica constituyen dimensiones esenciales del perfil directivo contemporáneo. De manera paralela, se identifica que la digitalización no se limita a la incorporación de herramientas tecnológicas, implica una reconfiguración estructural del modelo de gestión y del ejercicio del liderazgo pedagógico. Se concluye que el fortalecimiento de competencias digitales y estratégicas en los equipos directivos resulta determinante para garantizar procesos de mejora continua, adaptación institucional y calidad educativa en escenarios de alta incertidumbre tecnológica.
