Lineamientos para Medir los Comportamientos de Liderazgo Pedagógico en los Docentes Policiales de la Escuela Antidrogas

Abstract

The objective of the research is to establish guidelines for measuring pedagogical leadership behaviors at the Antidrug School of the National Police. The entire work is based on the Institutional Educational Project (PEI) of the Police Education Directorate, aiming to strengthen skills and expertise in controlling illicit drugs, while always maintaining respect for human rights and contributing to peaceful coexistence. The research follows a qualitative methodological approach, grounded in the exploration and interpretation of leadership behaviors and their impact on the training sessions led by police instructors. The instruments used for data collection include a literature review and open interviews, from which essential aspects were identified, such as: innovation in active methodologies, educational change management, digital competencies focused on education, and the promotion of ethical principles and values. The results highlight the importance of strengthening pedagogical leadership to improve the quality of education at the Antidrug School, as it helps enhance commitment, teamwork, professional development, and adaptability—key aspects for facing the changes in the illicit drug trade and impacting both the police and community environment in the country.
