Infaliun: A project to identify effective leadership in higher education faculty and students

Although the leadership competences of university teachers are important for student learning, most research on leadership and universities focuses on how leadership training is embedded in teaching programmes and formal leadership positions (3). Few studies have been conducted on leadership in teaching itself and in university teaching (1). Furthermore, it is also necessary to know what the students' perspective is on the leadership characteristics of university teachers and what impact they have on them (18). In order to achieve graduates trained in leadership, as demanded by society and the labour market, it is necessary for university teaching staff to also have these competences. It is therefore necessary to study the competences and factors related to leadership that university teachers possess. It is also necessary to know what effect they have on the learning and formative development of university students. All of this should make it possible to define valid tools for evaluating their impact.
