Análisis de los procesos de la gestión directiva como eje articulador para promover el acceso a la educación superior en la I.E Buenos Aires - Cazucá - Soacha

Abstract

This research work comes from a questioning about the responsibility that the school has, specifically in the changing given by its students towards higher education and the link that has been built between high school education and post-school stage life. The researching exercise was carried out at the Buenos Aires educational institution, which is located in Cazuca commune at the municipality of Soacha, It is based on qualitative research with an ethnographic approach, the collecting of information was done from three elements, the first one works with three focus groups made up of school graduates, eleventh grade students and head teaching school directors, the second one was the application of semi-structured interviews to these three focus groups and the third stage was the analysis of management documents from the last three years. All these instruments show important information which was analyzed under five categories built during the investigation: directive management, PEI, secondary education, access to higher education and the articulation between secondary and higher education. From these analyzes we were able to identify four processes that are carried out from the directive management of the institution: articulation with SENA technical job training programs, vocational training for middle school students, the PEI updating and the institutional horizon, and monitoring of graduates. The descriptive comparison of the previously mentioned processes made possible to show that the link with the SENA programs has become in the only possibility of academic continuity for the establishing a relation with the higher education to school students, this situation is presented by the lack of a robust project that could potentiate higher education as well founded alternative for middle school students.
