Abstract :
Technology leadership is the key to digital
integration in the field of education. However, there are
various constraints preventing comprehensive technology
integration in education today. The purpose of this report
is to examine, analyze, and compare two studies focusing
on technology leadership of educational leaders and
digital integration in education, particularly in the
context of schools in Malaysia. The analysis and
comparison of the studies specifically focus on the concept
of the Technology Leadership Model using the NETS-A
standards and how a hypothesis model is constructed
based on NETS-A adjusted to the education system in this
country. Findings from both selected articles indicate that
the level of technology leadership of educational leaders is
high, but there are still various issues related to
technology leadership in Malaysia that need attention,
such as leaders not practicing virtual leadership, teachers
as leaders not being proficient in optimizing technology
use, and current limitations in technology usage
equipment. Implications for each discussed issue are
examined from policy, training, administration, and
educational leadership aspects to ensure that the
proposed steps taken have a positive impact on all
educational entities and institutions. The results of this
report show that technology leadership plays a crucial
role in digital integration in schools in line with the
functions and roles of leaders as the primary drivers of
schools.
