Abstract
CUESTA MORENO, Oscar Julián and MORENOMOSQUERA, Emilce. The concept of leadership in educational spaces: scope and limits of an elastic word. sophia [online]. 2021, vol.17, n.1, pp.84-99. Epub July 29, 2021. ISSN 1794-8932. https://doi.org/10.18634/sophiaj.17v.1i.1010.
The results of a documentary review on the definitions of educational leadership present in the works published on the subject in Latin America are presented. A query was made in digital databases. After analyzing 87 documents, it was established that conceptual ambiguity between educational, pedagogical and school leadership. In addition, that the leadership is framed administratively but that is not restricted to these spaces. It is concluded that it is necessary to formulate theories that constitute educational leadership as an object of study with ontologically defined features, to avoid epistemological distortions and accumulate knowledge on this subject.
