The analysis is based on the perceptions of the governing and didactic coordination members of these educational centers.

A quantitative methodology was used, it has applied a questionnaire of 35 items, type ordinal scale, to a sample of 145 subjects (N = 181). Descriptive statistics tests and factorial analysis (Principal Component Analysis with Varimax rotation) has been applied to the data.

The results indicate that management teams distribute the functions of educational leadership, even though ICTs are not directly used to implement such functions.
