Abstract

The objective of this research was to describe what is known about school administration in times of pandemic. The PRISMA method was applied for the systematic review of 31 scientific articles published in the Scopus, ScienceDirect and CORE databases between 2020 and 2022. The results obtained were grouped into 2 dimensions: a) human resources administration and b) administration of goods, resources and educational materials. It is shown that during the pandemic there was an interest in investigating the area of school administration carried out remotely and using virtual means; as well as that most of the investigations carried out were of a qualitative nature. It is concluded that the reviewed articles indicate that the educational community had to make changes, the teachers in their methodology, both in continuous training and learning in the use of platforms and for these resources were needed, which, in many families, lacked generating gaps in expected learning. Likewise, there were cases in which innovation and training opportunities for teachers were generated, with the director of the schools as leader and manager being the promoter and promoter of these practices.
