IMPROVING THE INFORMATION AND METHODOLOGICAL SYSTEM FOR DEVELOPING THE MANAGERIAL COMPETENCIES OF GENERAL SECONDARY SCHOOL LEADERS

Abstract

This article examines the issue of improving the information-methodological system for developing the managerial competencies of general secondary school leaders. The relevance of the topic is determined by the growing complexity of school management, the increasing demands placed on educational leaders, and the need to ensure the continuous professional development of school principals in the context of educational modernization. The study aims to identify the theoretical foundations, practical problems, and effective directions for improving the existing system of managerial competency development. A mixed-methods research design was applied, combining theoretical analysis, questionnaire surveys, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The findings revealed that although school leaders have access to certain informational and methodological resources, the current system remains insufficient in terms of practical orientation, methodological coherence, continuity, and digital integration. The study concludes that the improvement of the information-methodological system should be based on the principles of accessibility, relevance, continuity, digitalization, and practice-oriented support. The proposed approach can contribute to strengthening school leadership effectiveness, improving educational management, and supporting sustainable school development.
