Resumen
Este artículo de investigación recoge las percepciones sobre cómo directores y equipos pedagógicos entienden y experimentan el liderazgo en cinco centros preescolares ubicados en Junji,Chile.Se recopilaron datos de cinco entrevistas semi-estructuradas y una observación participativa.Los hallazgos sugieren tres formas de ejercer el liderazgo:pedagógica,supervisora y administrativa.En todos los casos, existen las mismas amenazas al liderazgo.El estudio descubre algunas habilidades y características personales comunes a las formas de liderazgo.El artículo también destaca el contexto como un elemento clave para el ejercicio del liderazgo y la importancia de modelar culturas colaborativas,que consideran la centralidad del aprendizaje de los niños en la educación preescolar.
