Joseph M.CHIN & I-Hua CHANG

Abstract

The principals’ role as an educational leader has changed dramatically, while principals have quickly become leaders who promote and support new educational technologies. The intent of this study is to measure the dimensions and implementation of the principals’ technology leadership in Taiwan. The SEM was employed for measurement of the five dimensions including: (1) evaluation and research; (2) vision, planning, and management; (3) interpersonal and communication skills; (4) technology and infrastructure; and (5) staff development and training. As shown in this study, the five dimensions of technology leadership provide possible alternatives to assist principals in developing the knowledge and skills necessary to use technology and enhance their effectiveness as leaders in their schools.
