This study examines the relationship between
school administrators’ technology leadership roles and elementary school
teachers’ attitudes towards educational technologies with an emphasis on their
potential indirect impacts on education quality provided, while exploring
existing state of the technology use among the school administrators and
teachers. In this study, two scales have been used. Both scales have been
administered to 283 teachers working at elementary schools in Çanakkale. The
findings show that teachers perceive their school administrators’ leadership
roles quite high. In the sub-dimensions, highest level is “Support” and lowest
level is “Vision”. In “Human-Centralism” sub-dimension, difference has been
observed according to branch, in “Vision” sub-dimension difference has been
observed according to branch and seniority, and in “Support” sub-dimension
difference has been observed according to gender. According to “seniority and
branch” variable, there is no significant difference in teachers’ attitudes
towards educational technologies. However, difference has been observed
according to gender. There was a correlation between primary school administrators’
technology leadership roles and teachers’ attitudes towards educational
technologies.
