Abstract: This research has four main themes: (1) the level of school technology leadership used by administrators in elementary schools; (2) the degree to which administrators are aware of the effectiveness of school administration; (3) the relationship between administrators' technology leadership strategies and the effectiveness of elementary school administration; and (4) whether administrators' technology leadership strategies can predict the effectiveness of elementary school administration. The participants were 323 administrators (comprising principals and directors of academic-affairs, student-affairs, general-affairs, and counseling divisions) from 82 elementary schools located all over Taiwan and its three off-shore islands. Semi-structured interviews, expert validity surveys and a pilot-study were implemented to develop a “Technology Leadership Strategies and School Administrative Effectiveness Scale”. The quantitative data gathered from the instrument was analyzed through the use of descriptive statistics, Pearson's product–moment correlation coefficient, and simple linear regression. The findings indicated that elementary school administrators were highly conscious of using technology leadership strategies, and that these administrators generally possessed a high level of effectiveness regarding school administration. The results also indicated that technology leadership strategies had a significantly positive impact on the effectiveness of school administration, and thus the former could significantly predict the latter. The findings revealed that technology leadership strategies should be seen as an essential part of school administrators' training programs, in order to improve the effectiveness of such administration.

总结：

1、本研究有四个主题：（1）小学里技术领导的管理水平；（2）管理者对于学校管理有效性的认识程度；（3）管理者技术领导策略和学校管理效能之间的关系；以及（4）管理者的技术领导策略是否能预测小学管理效能。

2、通过半结构式访谈、专家效度的调查和实验研究收集相关数据（参与者是来自台湾和其三个离岸岛屿的82所小学中的323名管理者，其中包括校长以及负责教务、学生事务、总务和咨询的相关负责人）经过描述性统计分析、皮尔逊积差相关系数和简单的线性回归的数据分析，制定出《技术领导策略和学校管理测量表》。

3、研究结果表明：（1）小学管理者会有意识的使用技术领导策略，并且这些管理者的管理效能也较高；（2）技术领导策略对于学校管理效能有显著的正影响，而前者能显著预测后者；（3）为了提高管理效能，技术领导策略应被包括在学校管理者培训方案内，成为管理者培训的重要组成部分。
