BIOPOLITICS, REGULATORY IMPERATIVES, AND SCHOOL MANAGEMENT. AN ANALYSIS OF THE PRACTICES OF SECONDARY SCHOOL DIRECTORS IN THE DISTRICT OF SAN MARTÍN FROM THE OUTBREAK OF COVID 19

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the practices of school leadership of institutional leadership teams at the secondary level of the San Martín party from the outbreak of COVID-19, taking into account the imperatives of monitoring and the tensions that occur in the modes of think and act of these teaching groups in relation to the emergencies, persistence and deepening of the precarious conditions that characterize the social fabric of the institutions. The central hypothesis is that the managerial practices studied are constituted from the discourses and technologies characteristic of school management and expose, on the one hand, the continuity of the dynamics and logics of management societies and, on the other hand, practices that show tensions, reactions and oppositions to certain ways of behaving in critical times. In this sense, this work presents a qualitative-based methodological approach, based on informal and formal exchanges in the framework of semi-structured interviews with teachers who are members of secondary school management teams. The results that will be presented show how with the deepening of socioeducational problems from the emergence of COVID-19, the discourses and technologies on school management -with its imperatives- affect the conditions of the teaching task and institutional leadership. for its attention and resolution, exacerbating the responsibility of the directors and promoting a growing context of self-management.
