INTRODUCTION
Research Questions (if research questions are not specifically mentioned, what is the
theoretical background or overarching theme):
The questions addressed in this research were: What are the results of relationship
technological leadership, teachers technological literacy, and teaching effectiveness at
these schools? To what extent are technological leaders on selected schools effectively
utilizing technology?
METHODOLOGY
What is the methodology for the research or approach used to understand the issue?
Provide information regarding the following:
Participants:
1000 teachers-are randomly selected from 100 elementary schools within the some
major cities that have broaden teachers population in Taiwan for the survey. Additionally,
percentage of participants are consisted of 34.7 male and 65.1 female.
Procedures:
The survey was randomly sent to Director of Academic Affairs Division of each target
school.
The survey asked teachers to evaluate the principals role regarding integration of
RESULTS
Findings or Results (or main points of the article):
are directly related to teachers technology literacy and technology usage in their class
settings.
The data also demonstrate that good implementation and integration of technology have
impact on teaching effectiveness.
DISCUSSIONS
Conclusions/Implications (for your profession):
This study implies that school have to prepare a technology plan according to their
missions and goals in order to support and encourage the usage of technology for school
personnel.
Principals have become technology instructional leaders in schools (Warschauer, 2010).
Teachers use technology to bring a wide range of resources to the classroom to motivate
learners, provide new teaching tools for instruction, and accommodate individual learning
styles (Gahala, 2009). On the other hand, I believe that most of teachers do not feel
comfortable to use technology in confidence due to limited of their technology skills . So,
motivating novice teachers about technology usage in their classrooms is one of the
REFLECTIONS
Students Reflections (changes to your understanding; implications for your
school/work):
Today, despite becoming technology usage widespread in the schools, some factors
affect whether and how it is used. Those factors may be professional development for
acceptable use of education technology tools by teachers. Therefore, school's technology
plan that clearly identifies learning goals to be achieved through technology, satisfactory
ongoing professional development, availability of educational technology and immediate
but also supporting and encouraging teachers is crucial. School leaders should provide
unique and updated professional development programs in order to teachers feel
comfortable to use technology in their classroom. Even though they are received training
opportunities who are still struggling with new tools, technical support will be available in
work place for them as a part of technology plan.
