Resumo

Introdução: Os sistemas educativos em todo o mundo reconhecem a aprendizagem formal como um catalisador fundamental para a transformação social nas dimensões económicas, sociais e políticas. Este processo abrangente dota os indivíduos das competências, conhecimentos e padrões comportamentais essenciais necessários para uma participação social significativa.

Objetivo: Esta investigação procura examinar como os atributos pessoais específicos dos diretores impactam a eficácia profissional dos educadores nas escolas públicas de ensino secundário do estado de Anambra.

Métodos: Utilizando um desenho de investigação transversal descritivo, foram recolhidos dados de 150 professores e 150 diretores em 21 áreas de governo local, utilizando a Escala de Avaliação do Desempenho do Educador (EPAS) e o Inventário de Características do Diretor (PCI). Este estudo examinou os atributos pessoais dos diretores e a eficácia dos educadores nas escolas secundárias públicas do estado de Anambra, na Nigéria. Cinco questões de investigação e quatro hipóteses nortearam o estudo. A análise estatística utilizou as técnicas de frequência e percentagem, correlação de Pearson e regressão múltipla.

Resultados: Os resultados revelaram que a maioria dos diretores era do sexo feminino (58,7%), com idades compreendidas entre os 55 e os 65 anos (62,7%) e com mais de 10 anos de experiência administrativa (72,0%). A experiência administrativa demonstrou uma forte correlação positiva com a eficácia do educador (r = 0,824, p < 0,001), explicando 67,9% da variância. A idade dos diretores apresentou uma correlação positiva fraca, mas significativa (r = 0,163, p = 0,046), representando apenas 2,7% da variância, enquanto o género não apresentou uma relação significativa (r = 0,063, p = 0,442). Coletivamente, os três atributos explicados mostram 69,4% de variância na eficácia do educador (R² = 0,694, p < 0,001), sendo a experiência administrativa o preditor dominante.

Conclusão: O estudo conclui que, embora os atributos pessoais tenham um impacto individual mínimo, a experiência administrativa é o determinante crítico da eficácia do educador. As recomendações incluem a implementação de nomeações de administradores baseadas em competências, o investimento em programas de desenvolvimento de liderança, a garantia de políticas inclusivas em termos de género e o estabelecimento de sistemas estruturados de planeamento da sucessão.
