Resumen: En el ámbito de la carrera profesional de los líderes educativos, investigaciones previas han explorado sus trayectorias, identificando etapas y desafíos en el viaje directivo, reconociendo la relevancia de los directores para el mejoramiento escolar y los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje. El propósito de este artículo es contribuir a esta discusión, analizando y comparando la carrera de directores de escuelas públicas pertenecientes a las tres generaciones con mayor presencia: Boomers (aquellos nacidos entre 1946 y 1965), Generación-X (1966-1978) y Millennials (1979-1999. Se les otorga especial atención a los elementos que explicarían la decisión de convertirse en director. A través de un enfoque cualitativo, bajo los principios de la investigación biográfico-narrativa, se realizaron entrevistas a 24 directores en ejercicio y 4 recientemente jubilados. Los resultados indican diferencias generacionales importantes entre cohortes, las cuales moderan la opción profesional de acceder a la dirección y proyección laboral: el rol de su familia, su experiencia formativa, sus experiencias tempranas en la escuela y sus oportunidades de trabajo como líder. Estos hallazgos sugieren recomendaciones para la política pública, en particular para las estrategias de reclutamiento, retención y desarrollo de líderes escolares.
The development of rooftop solar PV generation has significant potential to generate enormous benefits to the electricity systems in achieving emission reduction targets and meeting increasing global energy demand, but could also make the power systems more resilient and affordable. In 2012, the Chilean government introduced a net billing law (Law 20.517) to incentivize consumers to sell their excess renewable electricity into the grid, which was expected to lead to a significant growth in rooftop solar. However, to date, the advancement of these technologies in the country has been very limited due to various barriers. For this reason, identifying and mitigating the main barriers that impede the advancement of development of rooftop solar is necessary to allow the successful deployment of these technologies. Based on data collected from a questionnaire survey and interviews conducted among the project developers in rooftop solar, the authors identify and rank the major barriers to the adoption of these technologies in Chile. Our findings show that the most significant barriers include “high investment and recovery period for the customer”, “lack of incentives to develop projects in the sector”, “rigid regulations regarding project size”, and “long administrative process and grid connection costs”. Furthermore, we discuss the most critical barriers in detail together with policy recommendations to overcome them.
