Teachers’ ability to manage stress and daily challenges is crucial to their professional development and well-being. By examining how Chilean elementary school teachers perceive the growth in their resilient behavior, this study seeks to determine the predominant factors that foster resilience in these individuals. Sixty-three public school teachers participated in semi-structured interviews as part of a qualitative analysis employing deductive and inductive coding. The results show that teacher resilience is built through a complex interaction between personal, professional, and contextual factors. Among the most important factors are self-care, psychosocial support, and an institutional environment that facilitates teachers’ emotional well-being. Relationships with students and their families also support this resilience, creating an atmosphere of trust and collaboration in the classroom. The study highlights that strengthening resilience not only improves the teaching experience but also has a positive impact on students’ well-being and academic performance. Integrating self-care strategies, support networks, and family alliances in teacher training and education policies is essential to developing healthy and sustainable school environments. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of specific training programs that give teachers effective tools to manage stress and adversity better. Although limited to elementary education in Chile, this study invites future research that expands the analysis to other education levels and cultural settings, offering a more comprehensive view of resilience in education.

En los procesos de selección del equipo directivo, el liderazgo es visto como una competencia individual. Debido a la actual transformación sociocultural, el liderazgo debe ser observado desde la perspectiva del capital social, donde lo colaborativo reemplaza a la administración burocrática. Este cambio de paradigma provoca conflictos internos relacionados con el compromiso e influencia que tienen tanto sobre la comunidad como con el proyecto educativo. El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar el grado de compromiso e influencia que posee el equipo directivo de establecimientos educativos resilientes de Chile a través de metodología cualitativa, análisis de contenido y matriz de impacto. Los resultados conducen a que compromiso e influencia son determinantes en la creación de un perfil de selección de directivo, donde el liderazgo transformacional es idóneo para cargos donde el capital social es evidente y el liderazgo transaccional es parte de las características de los cargos técnicos.
Educational trajectories developed by students throughout their schooling are shaped by experiences across multiple domains, where learning opportunities coexist with factors that may hinder academic achievement and the development of successful trajectories. The aim of this study was to analyze the personal, family, school, and contextual factors associated with educational trajectories and academic achievement among primary and secondary school students. A systematic review of the literature was conducted based on quantitative longitudinal studies published between 2022 and 2025 and identified through the Web of Science, Scopus, and Education Resources Information Center databases. The results indicate that educational trajectories linked to academic achievement tend to begin in primary education and show relative stability throughout secondary education, with variations over time associated with the interaction of individual, family, school, and contextual factors. These findings have practical implications for behaviorally informed interventions aimed at strengthening self-regulation, teacher support, socioemotional competencies, and family engagement to promote more equitable academic pathways. Overall, the evidence underscores the need to implement comprehensive and differentiated educational interventions articulated across multiple levels to reduce inequalities and foster sustainable academic development.
