Paper Abstract:
|
The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency and extent to which principals implement educational technology leadership in three school districts in the largest Midwestern metropolitan area of the USA. The study also identified and explained the factors that influence these perspectives. A mixed method sequential explanatory research model was utilized to collect quantitative and qualitative data. Technology leadership was measured based a modified version of the Principals Technology Leadership Assessment (PTLA). Data from the quantitative phase of the study were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Data from three focus group interviews were analyzed to identify codes and themes. These data were then triangulated to inform findings and recommendations for practice. |
