Gerencia y organización escolar: herramientas que construyen la eficacia educativa.

The purpose of this paper is to identify what the actors involved in the program "The computer in the school" understand by management, which is one of the dimensions that contributes to the effectiveness of this project and to educational quality. This program is coordinated by the Ministry of Education and the National Center for the Improvement of the Teaching of Science, CENAMEC. The study is integrated into the qualitative paradigm and has been presented in a descriptive exploratory format. A sample was taken of 7 of the 43 schools that are involved in the program on a national level. An analysis of the information obtained from secondary sources is presented as well as the sample results from the information gathered from the actors involved in the program. The factors which make up the management of the educational computer science program were identified from the perspective of the actors as well as in light of the importance that they have had in the execution of the project and in the fulfilment of project objectives. Managerial tasks that require improvement were also identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
