Factors Affecting Technology Leadership of School Administrators under Chiang Mai Primary Educational Service Area Office 3

Abstract

          This research article aimed to: (1) examine the level of factors related to technological leadership, (2) investigate the level of technological leadership among school administrators, and (3) identify the factors influencing technological leadership of school administrators. This study employed a quantitative research design. The sample consisted of 345 participants. The research instrument was a questionnaire. Data were collected using questionnaires. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and stepwise multiple regression analysis.

           The research findings were as follows:

           1) The overall level of factors related to technological leadership was at the highest level, with technological integration exhibiting the highest mean.

           2) The overall level of technological leadership among school administrators was also at the highest level. The use of technology in administration had the highest mean, whereas the use of technology in teaching and learning had the lowest mean.

           3) The factors that significantly influenced the technological leadership of school administrators at the 0.05 level were technological competency (β = 0.380), technological integration (β = 0.221), and technological vision (β = 0.097). These three variables jointly predicted technological leadership, accounting for 31.6 percent of the variance.  The predictive equation in raw score form can be written as follows:

            = 1.326 + 0.344(X₂) + 0.197(X₃) + 0.183(X₁)
