The objective of this research was to understand the role of principles in the promotion of scientific research with children and adolescents studying in public schools in a specific region in Colombia. A non-experimental cross-sectional and descriptive study was carried out with 73 principals from urban and rural campuses. The study used a qualitative approach as an analytical strategy that was focused on systematizing the phenomenon. This was based on both the administrative experience and capabilities to promote science education. The results identify three management challenges for principals: relationships with members of the educational community; the ability to manage resources; and articulation between institutional pedagogical objectives and human resources management with teachers.

Keywords : Basic education; school management; investigative ability; scientific research; childhood.
