PARRA ROBLEDO, Richar  and  RUIZ BUENO, Carmen. Transference of School Administrative Leadership Skills Training at a University in Chile. Educación [online]. 2020, vol.44, n.2, pp.138-153. ISSN 2215-2644.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/revedu.v44i2.40279.

The objective of this article is to assess information transfer for educational administration leadership skills programs at a Chilean university within the framework of Chile´s School Principal Leadership Program. The research carried out for this study is non-experimental, transactional and descriptive. The process for gathering data involved a data transfer questionnaire which includes a high global internal consistency index (α=0,920). Analysis of the results was based on four aspects: 1) personal factors, 2) educational factors, 3) organizational factors and 4) skills transfer. These are combined to design an outline focusing on aspects that facilitate and hinder the transfer of school administration leadership skills training. This study also develops and assesses how skills provide opportunities for reconsidering and recontextualizing associated contexts. The conclusions that were drawn focus on three key aspects: 1) Greater motivation to learn and further one´s personal development, 2) Curricular design and internal continuity and coordination in developing skills training possibilities and promote skills transfer. 3) Enhanced job security and encouraging team work strengthens pedagogical leadership.
