| dc.description.abstract | This research examines the evolving role of educational leadership in the digital age, emphasising the competencies, challenges, and opportunities that arise from technology integration in educational practices. Through surveys and qualitative interviews with educational leaders, the study illuminates the critical importance of digital literacy and continuous professional development for successful technology implementation. Despite the enthusiasm for digital tools, challenges such as varying digital proficiency among staff, resistance to change, and inadequate infrastructure hinder optimal technology use, creating disparities in student learning experiences. The study advocates for a structured approach to technology integration, involving strategic planning, comprehensive training, and ongoing evaluation to ensure technology is embedded within the educational framework. Additionally, fostering a collaborative culture among stakeholders, teachers, students, and parents is essential for promoting innovation and addressing diverse student needs. Leaders also bear the responsibility of modelling digital citizenship and ethical technology use, preparing students for the complexities of the digital world. This research contributes valuable insights for enhancing teaching and learning outcomes in a technology-driven educational landscape. | |
