Leadership and management skills influencing the effectiveness of physical education teachers in higher education institutions

 The article examines the leadership and management skills of physical education teachers that influence the effectiveness of their professional activity in higher education institutions. The relevance of this issue is determined by the growing demands of the modern educational environment, where a teacher must combine not only professional knowledge and pedagogical excellence, but also developed leadership qualities and management competencies that ensure the quality of the educational process. It is established that the effectiveness of the physical education process directly depends on the level of the teacher's management competencies, their ability to organize collective activities, motivate students and make effective decisions in a dynamic and competitive educational environment. Globalization processes require the actualization of all aspects of the teacher's management potential, which allows them to effectively realize themselves in professional activity. It is substantiated that the effectiveness of a teacher as a leader manifests itself in two dimensions of pedagogical activity. In the individual dimension, the teacher is able to organize their own work clearly, prepare methodologically and psychologically for classes, maintain perseverance in achieving educational results and demonstrate flexibility in the face of change. In the collective dimension, the teacher is able to unite the academic group, ensure the dynamics of students' learning activity, organize effective communication among participants of the educational process and support colleagues in the implementation of shared educational objectives. The pedagogical conditions that contribute to the formation of students' leadership potential through physical education are defined: the organization of a developmental educational environment aimed at fostering initiative and independence; the cultivation of purposefulness, self-control and resilience; involvement in student self-governance and volunteering; the development of individual and group projects; the conduct of discussions and debates to develop communication skills and critical thinking. It is emphasized that the modern management model of a physical education teacher is characterized by flexibility and dynamism, and the effectiveness of developing leadership competencies directly depends on the organization of the educational process and the structure of physical culture, health-improving and sports activities in higher education institutions. Physical culture, beyond training the human body, develops individual qualities of resilience, ambition and composure in challenging situations, which are defining characteristics of an effective teacher-leader.

Strategic educational leadership: teacher empowerment and the transformation of learning environments

THE LEADERSHIP OF THE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL IN THE CONSOLIDATION OF COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENTS: CONTRIBUTIONS OF EDUCATIONAL LEGISLATION

This study aims to analyze administration and leadership within the school context, emphasizing the strategic role of the school manager in the consolidation of collaborative environments, in light of the contributions of educational legislation to the implementation of participatory management. It is based on the understanding that contemporary school management must be grounded in democratic, legal, and ethical principles, as established by the Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988, the National Education Guidelines and Framework Law, and other regulations governing the Brazilian educational system. The research is characterized as a bibliographic study, drawing on theoretical contributions from the fields of educational management and Educational Law, as well as on the analysis of relevant legal provisions. The results demonstrate that leadership exercised in a participatory manner, supported by legal frameworks, fosters the strengthening of institutional relationships, the improvement of the organizational climate, and the promotion of more inclusive and collaborative educational practices. It is concluded that the performance of the school manager, guided by legal foundations and democratic, dialogical leadership practices, constitutes an essential element in promoting school environments committed to educational quality and civic education.

Innovation Practice of Collaborative Mechanism Between College Student Management and Ideological and Political Education Under the Perspective of "All-Round Education"

Under the framework of all-round education, college student management and ideological and political education constitute a coordinated system for moral cultivation, campus governance, and professional talent development. This study explores the innovation of their collaborative mechanism by constructing a three-level model of concept coordination, institutional coordination, and operational coordination. Using questionnaire surveys, interviews, and case analysis across multiple universities, the study examines how management services, value guidance, and educational resources can be integrated into a shared platform. The results indicate that collaborative mechanisms improve students’ academic persistence, participation in ideological education, psychological capital, and overall campus governance efficiency. A new model with common objectives, re-engineered processes, joint teams, and shared digital platforms is shown to enhance the systematicity and relevance of educational work. From an engineering-management perspective, the study provides a process-oriented framework for networked education platforms, data transmission among educational actors, and coordinated governance in digitally supported universities.

School Leadership in TQM: The Role of Principals, Quality Commitment, and Human Resource Empowerment in Schools

Improving educational quality has become one of the primary challenges faced by schools amid the dynamics of globalization and educational transformation. One widely adopted approach to achieving continuous quality improvement in schools is Total Quality Management (TQM), which emphasizes ongoing improvement, stakeholder satisfaction, involvement of all members of the organization, data-driven decision making, and building a sustainable quality culture. This paper aims to analyze the role of school leadership in TQM implementation, examine how quality commitment is manifested within the organization, and identify strategies for human resource empowerment that support the creation of a quality culture in education. A descriptive-analytical literature review method was used, based on national and international scholarly books and journal articles. The findings indicate that the school principal serves as a vision setter for quality, a change agent, a builder of quality culture, a data-driven decision maker, and a facilitator of teacher professional development. Quality commitment is reflected in improved student learning outcomes, stakeholder (student and parent) satisfaction, an evaluative culture, academic supervision, accreditation processes, and the implementation of the Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) cycle. Meanwhile, human resource empowerment is carried out through teacher competency development, continuous professional training, Lesson Study, Professional Learning Communities (PLC), coaching, mentoring, and collaborative learning. By integrating these three aspects, schools can build a quality culture that supports continuous improvement, enhances teacher professionalism, and strengthens the overall effectiveness of school management.
