Resumen

En la investigación sobre la aplicación de la reforma educacional, los investigadores han subrayado la importancia que la colaboración entre profesores tiene en el rendimiento escolar. En el presente estudio se examina si el intercambio de conocimiento en las redes sociales entre profesores tiene relación con los elementos esenciales asociados al aumento del rendimiento escolar, a saber: la autoeficacia y el compromiso de los profesores. Desde el punto de vista de la teoría del capital social, estudiamos las redes sociales de profesores para valorar si el mayor acceso a los recursos tiene relación con un mayor sentido de la eficacia y el compromiso en los docentes. Recopilamos encuestas y datos del entorno social de ocho escuelas primarias en los Países Bajos (N=114), que fueron comparados utilizando análisis correlacional y análisis de redes sociales. los resultados sugieren relaciones positivas entre los indicadores de las redes de profesores, la autoeficacia y el compromiso con la organización y con los estudiantes. Nuestras conclusiones abren el camino a posteriores instrumentos de política educativa orientados al estudio relacional.
