Technology Leadership Conditions among Nebraska School Principals
Curnyn, Molly A.
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, University of South Dakota
As visionary leaders, school administrators are responsible for leading their schools into the 21st century by integrating technology to enhance learning and teaching. As technology leaders, principals must apply rigorous thought into the overall role that technology plays in the enhancement of student learning. Leveraging technology will assist educational leaders as they guide schools in an environment of accountability and fiscal responsibility. Technology in schools should enhance academic achievement and be integrated in a way that fosters sustainability and least disruption. A visionary leader considers emerging technologies' impact on student learning. Participants in this study voluntarily completed a researcher-developed instrument comprised of selected demographic data and the Principals Technology Leadership Assessment (PTLA). The survey measured technology leadership of an individual school administrator and was aligned with the 2002 ISTE's National Educational Technology Standards for Administrators (NETS-A). The six dimensions of the PTLA survey included: (1) leadership and vision; (2) learning and teaching; (3) productivity and professional practice; (4) support, management, and operations; (5) assessment and evaluation; and (6) social, legal, and ethical issues. Means and standard deviation were computed in response to the administrators' self-reported level of meeting each dimension. Computation of item means indicated that the participants self-reported that they moderately met the ISTE NETS-A (2002) standards. Results from t tests for independent samples indicated that there were no significant differences in PTLA ratings based on administrator gender. Results of the ANOVAs for independent samples that explored differences in PTLA ratings based on respondent age, years of experience, grade level, district size, and degree earned indicated that there were no significant differences.
