A
correlational study was conducted to examine the relationship between
high school administrators’ technology leadership self-efficacies and
their attitudes and competencies towards technology use in education.
The participants were 338 school administrators (67 administrators and
271 vice administrators) working in 112 high schools located in the
Anatolian side of Istanbul and the data were collected through a
questionnaire. According to the findings, the school administrators'
technology leadership self-efficacies were all sufficient and they had
positive attitudes and sufficient competencies towards using technology.
In addition, there were positive relationships between school
administrators' technology leadership self-efficacies, their attitudes
towards the use of technology and their competencies in using technology
in education. Similarly, there was a positive relationship between the
attitudes and the competencies of school administrators towards using
technology. Conducted with a group of school administrators, accepted as
the technology leaders of the school, this study sheds light on the
relationship between the necessary school administrator characteristics
in technology integration processes. The present study is indeed
valuable in exploring the relationship among these three critical
factors influencing the school principals’ effectiveness in the
technology integration process. Examining these important school
administrator characteristics, this study will cast light on the ways
through which creating a digital school culture by improving their
leadership qualifications may become possible.
