Educational Leadership, Decision-making, DataAbstract
The purpose of this research is to analyze the collection of data by principals and how this information influences the design of educational improvement plans. Through a quantitative exploratory-descriptive study, a self-assessment survey of data collection was translated and validated and applied to a group of 24 principals. The results show that principals preferentially collect data on student behaviour, school-family relations and teachers' teaching practices. It is concluded that the principals have limited data on the pedagogical nucleus, which prevents the improvement plans from achieving changes or improvements in the classroom.
