Abstract: The aim of this study is to determine the primary and high school principals’ competency in technology leadership and so to define implications for advanced competency. The population of the study was formed by 134 school principals in Maltepe and Kadikoy districts in Istanbul. On account of the fact that population was reachable, no specific sampling method was used for the present study. The research survey named NETS-A the Principal Technology Leadership Assessment (PTLA) was adapted into Turkish as a result of Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) indicating goodness of fit indices in 3 dimension (CMIN/d f=1.547/CFI= .913/RMSA= .082) and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) which revealed 3 factors explaining % 64 of total variance. Internal consistency reliability of the survey was determined with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (α= .95). According to the results of the current study, school principals were adequate for technology leadership at a “significant” level (M = .85, SD = .54), while their competency in “leadership & vision” dimension of technology leadership has the lowest value (M = .78, SD = .68) compared to other dimensions. Additionally, it was found that female school principals are more adequate for “leadership & vision” dimension than their male colleagues (p< .05). Besides, it was determined that schools owning information technologies coordinator teacher are more adequate for “learning & teaching” dimension of technology leadership (p < .05).

Key Words: Technology Leadership, Technology Planning, Technology Coordinatorship, Technology Leadership Competency, IT Coordinator Teacher

总结：

1.本研究的目的是确定在中小学校长能力处于技术领先地位，因此定义为先进能力的影响。尤其是在技术领先的学校中。

2.这项研究的人口由134所中学校长的Maltepe和卡德柯伊区在伊斯坦布尔成立。根据目前的研究结果，校长在“显著”级（M =0.85，SD=0.54）拥有充分的技术领先地位，而它们在技术领先的“领导力与愿景”方面的能力具有最低值（M=0.78，标准差=0.68）相比其他尺寸。

3.此外，有人发现，女性校长有更充足的“领导力与愿景”尺寸，相比她们的男同事（P <0.05）。此外，它被确定拥有相比于学校信息技术协调员老师都比较充足的技术领先的“学与教”尺寸（P <0.05）。
