Las metáforas docentes sobre la gestión educativa en una escuela pública

The subject of study is framed in the organizational culture and the use of metaphors. The objective of the research was to analyze the metaphors used by teachers about the dimensions of educational management in a School Education Institution in Arequipa. The information was collected through the application of a semi-structured interview directed to teachers; which showed that metaphor plays a fundamental role in the construction of social reality and whose meanings go beyond what literal language can offer us; that is to say, it is an unattainable mode of interpretation for reason. In the institution studied, no member is alien to the use of metaphors. For this reason, the findings of the metaphors analyzed show that the organization is managed as an educational community where the sense of belonging and human relationships, a system of shared values and a sense of belonging prevail notoriously.
