Resumen

El objetivo de este artículo es hacer un análisis temático de los estudios que se han realizado sobre el subdirector escolar en países anglosajones de 1970 a 2012. Con este fin, se hizo la búsqueda de literatura, se seleccionó y caracterizó el corpus de análisis y se hizo la categorización temática de los estudios. Los estudios se clasificaron en cinco categorías: funciones de la subdirección; rol de los subdirectores en la escuela; estudio del aprendizaje del puesto de la subdirección escolar; estudios de satisfacción en el trabajo del subdirector; y el puesto de subdirección como preparación para el trabajo en la dirección escolar. El estudio concluye que el enfoque de los trabajos ha transitado de un nivel descriptivo a uno más analítico sobre los roles de los subdirectores en la escuela, sus procesos de socialización y como un nivel de preparación para la siguiente etapa laboral.

Abstract

The aim of this article is to make a thematic analysis of the studies that have been conducted on the assistant principal in Anglo-Saxon countries from 1970 to 2012. To this end, the literature search was selected and the corpus of analysis was determined. Studies were classified into five thematic categories: tasks of the assistant principals; role of assistant principals in school; how this role is learned at school; studies of job satisfaction; and the assistant principal as the previous step to be principal. The study concludes that the focus of the work has passed a descriptive level to a more analytical one about the roles of assistant principals in school, socialization processes and the training step for the principals´ role.
