Factors of the educational effectiveness of a private university, in times of pandemic

Abstract

The subject of this study is framed in school effectiveness. The objective of this research was to describe the organizational factors associated with the educational effectiveness of a private University at North Lima campus in times of pandemic. For this study, with a qualitative approach, two categories were considered: teacher commitment and professional development, and educational leadership. The interview was used as a research technique and the semi-structured question guide as an instrument, which was validated by a specialist and applied to four academic coordinators from various specialties. The information collected was organized and analyzed using the Open Coding technique. The respective analysis of findings allowed to conclude that there is a commitment to the professional development of teachers, which is evidenced by the training programs; however, it is important to develop a culture of lifelong learning in order to generate a good attitude and disposition from all teachers. Likewise, academic and administrative coordination meetings, and communication spaces with teachers and students are important for decision-making, allow the generation of an environment of trust and support, and reinforce the sense of belonging; however, despite best efforts, leadership remains primarily administrative.
