Abstract

This study analyzes the importance of the leadership played by the Heads of Technical-Pedagogical Units (UTP, for its Spanish acronym), in terms of the criteria for a successful lesson. A qualitative research study was carried out, with the participation of 27 Heads of UTP from the provinces of San Felipe and Los Andes. From an emergent coding, it is concluded that these academic leaders consider that a successful lesson contains: a clearly identified structure, a learning goal, consideration of student diversity, motivation, and the monitoring process and feedback from teachers. The findings from this research contribute to a reflection on the design of specific professional development programs oriented to UTP.
