Technology Leadership in Educational Organizations: A Systematic Analysis

Abstract

The use of technology in educational settings is recognized as indispensable if education is to provide 21st century skills. Since technology is an indispensable component of all schools, providing strong technology leadership, by either a school administrator or a teacher, has become a key requirement. This study aims to reveal the areas that studies in this field have focused on and analyze any gaps in the research. The study is based on three main points regarding studies of educational technology leadership: research methodologies, trends, and educational theories, approaches and standards. According to the analysis, the studies focus on the goals of technology leadership for technology integration, technology leadership competencies, technology leadership self-efficacy and technology leadership perceptions. It shows that according to the theories and standards there are studies on ISTE/NETSA, ISTE and NETSA. The findings show that the researches began in 1992, reached their highest point in 2012 with the dramatic increase in 2010 and that the majority of the studies were conducted in the USA and Turkey. This systematic review will be beneficial for scholars and practitioners to gain understanding of the research, trends and gaps.
