El rol directivo en la construcción de convivencia: Análisis de prácticas en una institución oficial de la localidad de Kennedy en Bogotá.

Abstract

This article analyses the role of school leadership in building a culture of coexistence in a public educational institution located in the Patio Bonito Local Planning Unit (UPL), Kennedy district, Bogotá. The study adopts a qualitative approach with a case study design and a socio-critical paradigm, using semi-structured interviews with teachers, coordinators, and the school principal. Findings reveal that school coexistence is shaped by contextual factors such as migration, community violence, and digital culture, which increase the complexity of conflict dynamics within the institution. The study identifies a tendency to normalize low-intensity violence, a growing incidence of cyberbullying, and limited family co-responsibility. In response, school leadership emerges as a strategic axis for articulating pedagogical, normative, and restorative responses. The article concludes with differentiated recommendations for school leaders and teachers, aimed at strengthening coexistence through contextualized, participatory, and sustainable leadership.
