Abstract

This research is focused on the access to school principalship with the aim of carrying out an in-depth analysis based not only on the knowledge of mental factors (development of school principalship project, presentation and discussion around that project with the educational community, etc.), but also on difficulties, training needs and impact perceived by those candidates who want to become school principal in the Canary Islands. We have opted to do a factor analysis in SPSS 19 gathered from the questionnaire on access to school principalship (Teixidó, 2007). The study included 170 education centers; in other words, the percentage of centers in Canary Islands that participate was 20%.
