Abstract
Recent developments in information and communication technologies have moved schools into digital platforms. For this reason, in our digital-age, technology-based leadership has an important place increasing the quality of expected education in the environment of the new generation students, who we call digital natives. The Technology Leadership that emerged at this point is an important type of leadership that should be adopted for the school administrators in the digital age. In this context, the aim of this study is to evaluate the role of technology leadership self-efficacy on educational processes in the digital age in the context of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). In the study, a semi-structured interview form was employed as the data collection tool. The study was conducted in the academic year of 2018 and a total of 20 school administrators engaged in the secondary education level under the ministry of national education were included in the study. The views obtained from the administrators were analyzed with content analysis. The results were evaluated utilizing TAM model. In light of the views of administrators which are analyzed according to "perceived ease of use" and "perceived usefulness" defined by TAM model, it is concluded that the technology leadership self-efficacy has an impact on technology integration to the education process, promoting effective use of technology for learning, communicating effectively with all the stakeholders and creating social interaction based on trust.technology leadership, technology acceptance, digital age, school administrators, digital natives technology leadership, technology acceptance, digital age, school administrators, digital nativestechnology leadership, technology acceptance, digital age, school administrators, digital natives |
