Constructing the Identity of the School Zone Inspector in Times of Complexity

Abstract

Immersed in the 21st century, characterized by the end of certainties, it is necessary to transmute the ways of doing school. Within the educational system, the institution of school supervision plays a fundamental role in these new ways of being and being within schools. It is in its pedagogical function and from its role as guarantor of the continuous training of all teachers in its jurisdiction that it will achieve the expected improvement. The essay consists of the presentation of the most relevant background of the Doctoral Thesis Project, elaborated within the framework of the Doctorate in Education of the Catholic University of Córdoba. The objective is to explore and describe the trajectory of the training function of the zone inspector. The aim is to explain the tendency adopted over time, considering that the academic contribution would have an impact on the denaturalization of the supervisor’s training function, so necessary to give answers to the reality of the present century: to accompany managers and teachers so that reflexivity becomes their practice oriented to educational improvement in response to the uncertainty that characterizes contemporaneity. The idea is to build the identity of the school zone inspector today, from different perspectives: theoretical, practical, historical and legal.
