Gestión pedagógica en el aula: Clima social escolar, desde la percepción de estudiantes y profesores del séptimo año de educación básica desde los centros educativos Miguel Prieto y Alfonso Cordero Palacios de la provincia del Azuay, ciudad de Cuenca, 2011-2012

Abstract

Abstract: The research study titled "Pedagogical Management in the Classroom: School Social Climate" based on the perceptions of seventh-grade students and teachers at the "Miguel Prieto" and "Alfonso Cordero Palacios" educational centers was conducted to examine pedagogical management and the classroom social climate. Surveys were administered to forty-five seventh-grade students and two teachers. The instruments used included: the Moos and Trickett School Social Climate Scale (CES) adapted for Ecuadorian students and teachers as well as a student-completed questionnaire evaluating teacher management of learning and a teacher self-assessment questionnaire regarding the same. The results, presented in the corresponding tables, reveal that students do not feel a sense of engagement with either institution and that both teachers and students perceive task orientation and control levels as low; consequently, the urgent implementation of a proposal is required.
