A qualitative methodology was employed, using an approach based on systematic literature review. An exhaustive search was carried out in various academic sources and specialized journals to collect and analyze relevant research and existing theories on the subject. The results revealed the importance of integrating pedagogical strategies that encourage critical thinking and problem solving in all areas of study, as well as the need to adapt the curriculum to address these skills effectively. Emerging patterns were identified in the literature that highlight the interrelationship between critical thinking, creativity and the ability to solve problems in a contemporary educational environment. Succinctly, this research underscores the importance of cultivating critical thinking and problem-solving skills to prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century in contemporary education.</p> Evelyn Lizeth Ilbay Guaña Copyright (c) 2024 Evelyn Lizeth Ilbay Guaña https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-02-15 2024-02-15 3 1 4 18 10.62943/rck.v3n1.2024.50 https://editorialinnova.com/index.php/rck/article/view/51 <p>School leadership emerges as a crucial component in the pursuit of educational excellence and improved academic outcomes. Through a comprehensive review of the literature, it is confirmed that effective leadership in educational institutions is closely linked to higher student achievement. This positive influence is reflected in higher graduation rates, higher levels of academic achievement, and a school climate more conducive to learning. Furthermore, it is highlighted that school leadership goes beyond administrative management, also involving pedagogical and socio-emotional aspects that affect the comprehensive development of students. Educational leaders who promote trust, caring, and equity in their school communities create an environment conducive to students' academic and personal growth. Likewise, it is observed that adaptive and proactive school leadership in the integration of emerging technologies in the educational process can enhance teaching and learning, preparing students to face the challenges of the modern world.</p> Paola Alejandra Espinosa Cevallos Copyright (c) 2024 Paola Alejandra Espinosa Cevallos https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-04-09 2024-04-09 3 1 19 30 10.62943/rck.v3n1.2024.51
