Abstract

Managerial competencies are linked to the understandings, skills, attitudes, and behaviors that a teacher emphasizes in the exercise of their praxis to optimize student learning. Based on this premise, this study aims to determine the managerial competencies for promoting university social responsibility in teachers of the Pedagogy career at a Private University located in Curico, Maule Region, Chile. A quantitative approach, precisely a basic descriptive research type, was chosen. The target population of this study consisted of 95 teachers. A structured questionnaire was employed to collect data, presenting three response alternatives: excellent, adequate, and needs improvement. The main results revealed a complete absence in the application of elements such as interpersonal relationships, critical thinking, communication, and ethics in University Social Responsibility (USR). It is observed that teachers neglect the management of these components, which are considered crucial for the accomplishment of learning that promotes student development and positions them as socially responsible entities in the university context and society.
