Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Besides others, educational administrators are more vulnerable to the technological advancement. In changed scenario, as the roles and responsibilities of educational administrators also change, this research was conducted to ascertain what leadership styles affect the integration of technology to improve teaching and learning. A survey of the educational administrators in the four districts of Punjab was conducted to identify the impact of leadership styles on the use of innovative instructional technology in the educational institutions, and ultimately enhancing the student achievement. This study focused on the relationship between administrative leadership styles and implementation of new technological programs or instructional strategies. For this study, a questionnaire consisting of two parts was used for collection of data from the educational administrators. The first part of the questionnaire determined the extent in the use of educational technology in the institutions, whereas the second part of the questionnaire assessed the leadership style of the administrators. The researchers adopted Hersey-Blanchard Situational Model for the study with some modifications, in view of the local circumstances. The replies received in response of technology questions were given numerical values, whereas the second part of the questionnaire reflected the leadership styles of the administrators. The data were tabulated and treated using appropriate statistical techniques to draw inferential conclusions about the impact of the leadership styles of the educational administrators on the use of educational technologies in the educational institutions. As a result of research, the selling/coaching leadership style, reflecting high task, high relationship behaviour, was found to be more encouraging in the use of educational technology. The researchers are of the view that the selling/coaching style of leadership should be promoted to enhance the use of educational technology in our educational institutions.
