Resumen
La sobrecarga administrativa representa uno de los principales desafíos que enfrentan los docentes de Educación General Básica en la actualidad, afectando significativamente su desempeño pedagógico y la calidad educativa. Objetivo: Analizar el impacto de la sobrecarga administrativa en la práctica docente de Educación General Básica y su influencia en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Metodología: Se empleó un enfoque cuantitativo descriptivo con una muestra de 150 docentes de instituciones públicas y privadas. Los datos se recolectaron mediante encuestas estructuradas y entrevistas semiestructuradas, analizándose estadísticamente mediante SPSS v.28. Resultados: El 78% de los docentes dedica más de 15 horas semanales a tareas administrativas, reduciendo en un 45% el tiempo destinado a la planificación pedagógica. Se identificó una correlación negativa significativa (r=-0.67, p<0.001) entre la carga administrativa y la satisfacción laboral docente. Las principales tareas administrativas reportadas incluyen: elaboración de informes (89%), gestión de documentación estudiantil (76%) y participación en comisiones institucionales (68%). Conclusiones: La sobrecarga administrativa constituye un factor limitante para el desarrollo óptimo de la práctica docente, generando estrés laboral y disminuyendo el tiempo efectivo dedicado a actividades pedagógicas, lo que repercute negativamente en la calidad educativa y sugiere la necesidad de implementar estrategias de optimización administrativa.
