“…Within the literature, multiple instruments have been identified dedicated to evaluating the leadership capacity of principals [25,26]. Among them, some have been interested in analyzing middle leaders, focusing on how schools work [27,28]. Among the instruments found, the DLI [24] was chosen because of the in-depth analysis it provides, not only to evaluate leadership positions, but also to evaluate the school's functioning and assess aspects closely related to pedagogical coordination and school improvement, such as work satisfaction and leadership identity.…”

“…For the adaptation of DLI [24] into Spanish, experts were asked to review the instrument according to the Delphi Method [25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. The panel of experts selected was formed by university teachers and researchers with a recognised prestige for their expertise in the field of study, and who belonged to the RILME network.…”

“…Many instruments have been developed to evaluate the principal's leadership capacity [25,26], although this number is smaller when referring to middle leaders [27,28]. Many of the instruments validated in the field have focused on a person's leadership capacity.…”

Introduction: Leadership as the second factor in school improvement needs potential leaders to be effective. Method: The present study aimed to know the potential capacity of leaders in Spanish secondary schools through the adaptation of the DLI questionnaire to Spanish. To accurately adapt this questionnaire, the present research group conducted content validity processes in 2017, using the Delphi Method, in which eight experts from the Spanish Network for Research into Leadership and Academic Improvement were invited to participate (RILME). As part of a pilot test, preliminary tools were administered to 547 participants from secondary schools in Granada and Jaén (Spain). Results: The present study reports on the adaptation of the DLI instrument within the Spanish context. Acceptably high values were obtained in the analysis of reliability and internal consistency, suggesting that this item can be reliably utilised for the exploration of the dynamics of internal functioning in secondary education and the evaluation of the distribution of leadership characteristics. Conclusions: The pilot study highlights how heads of studies and department heads are potential leaders, making it easier to set up and sustain educational projects in schools.

“…Las habilidades de liderazgo instruccional de los directores y sus equipos directivos fueron descritas utilizando la "Escala de Percepción de la Gestión Instruccional de Directores" (Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale, PIMRS) en su versión traducida al español (Fromm, Hallinger, Volante & Wang, 2017). Este instrumento se encuentra basado en un modelo conceptual que propone tres dimensiones ordenadas en 10 funciones directivas para el apropiado desarrollo de un enfoque de liderazgo instruccional (tabla 2).…”

En esta investigación se describen las habilidades de liderazgo con un enfoque instruccional de directores, equipo de gestión y docentes de establecimientos educativos de la región del Biobío, Chile. Se encuestaron a 64 miembros del equipo de gestión y 424 docentes de 17 establecimientos educativos utilizando el instrumento PIMRS. El análisis de datos demostró que no existen diferencias significativas en la valoración de los encuestados en la implementación de las tres dimensiones establecidas en el PIMRS. Sin embargo, se determinó que los docentes presentan diferencias significativas con respecto a los miembros del equipo directivo en término de las tres dimensiones y diez funciones establecidas en el PIMRS. Al comparar la valoración de los equipos directivos y los docentes, las menores brechas se registran en las funciones asociadas a la definición de la misión de la escuela y las mayores brechas se encuentran en las funciones asociadas al fomento de un adecuado clima de aprendizaje escolar. La valoración de las actividades asociadas a la implementación de liderazgo instruccional de los directores y jefes UTP difiere en términos de los énfasis que se otorgan dependiendo de cada cargo. This research describes leadership skills from an instructional approach of school principals, management team and teachers of educational organizations from the Biobío region, Chile. A sample of 64 members of the school management team and 424 teachers were surveyed using the PIMRS instrument. The data analysis showed no significant differences in the assessment of the respondents in the implementation of the three dimensions established in the PIMRS. However, it was determined that teachers have significant differences with respect to the members of the management team in terms of the three dimensions and ten functions established in the PIMRS. When comparing the assessment of the management teams and the teachers, the smallest gaps are found in the functions associated with the definition of the school’s mission and the biggest gaps are found in the functions associated with the promotion of an adequate school learning climate. The evaluation of the activities associated with the implementation of instructional leadership of principals and pedagogical heads differs in terms of the emphasis that is granted depending on each position.

“…In view of the above, the goal of this paper is to develop an instrument to assess the capabilities, skills and knowledge required by a university teacher to be a good manager and/or politician, given that no specific measurement instruments are available. The Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale (PIMRS), for example, focuses more on school leaders (Fromm, Hallinger, Volante and Chung Wang, 2017). With this and the abovementioned bibliography in mind, we have developed the Skill Inventory for Higher Education Management (SIHEM-UB).…”

INTRODUCTION.University management and governance is a complex matter and differs from the management and governance of other institutions, since the structure, organisation and complexity of the university make it a unique institution. Moreover, teaching staff members with individual management roles are not professional managers, as is the case in other institutions. This raises the question of whether all university teachers can be effective managers of their institutions. The goal of this paper is therefore to create a scale to assess highereducation management skills (SIHEM-UB). METHOD.The initial scale consisted of 129 items, and after a review by expert judges and the pilot study, the final scale was reduced to 30 items and was administered to a sample of 690 university teachers. RESULTS.The scale was checked for reliability, internal consistency, and content, criterion, discriminant and construct validity. CONCLUSION.All indicators demonstrated the suitability of the proposed scale in relation to reliability and validity in all facets analysed.
