Abstract

Educational
managers’ self-efficacy perceptions of information technology may be thought to
influence technological leadership self-efficacy perceptions. However, it is
seen that there is not enough research on this situation in the field. In this
context, the perceptions of technological leadership self-efficacy of education
managers and the self-efficacy perceptions of information technology have been
discussed in this present study. In the literature, it is emphasized that the
gender, age, branches, the schools where they graduate and the in-service
training situations of education administrators and teachers are effective on
different variables. These variables are considered as independent variables in
this research. This study is a descriptive research. The study group of the
study consisted of 210 school principals and assistant principals working in
the Malatya Provincial Center. Data were collected by using Self-efficacy
perception scale (α = 0.97) and Technology Supervisor Technology Leadership Self-efficacy
Scale (α = 0.97). Frequency, percentage, Pearson correlation (r), t-test,
one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post-hoc analyzes were used in the
analysis of the data. The results show that school administrators have a high
level of self-efficacy perceptions of technological leadership. These
perceptions do not differ according to the school level, age groups and
in-service training. There is a significant positive correlation between
technological leadership and IT self-efficacy perceptions.
