Abstract
The era of Educational Innovation 4.0 has brought significant transformations to the education system. These changes have not only reshaped teaching and learning methods but have also directly impacted how school leaders manage educational institutions. Over the past decades, advancements in Information Technology (IT) have become a key factor influencing various aspects of school administration, particularly at the primary and secondary levels.
The role of school principals in the 4.0 era has evolved from a focus on academic administration to becoming leaders who can effectively integrate technology into strategic planning, resource management, and creating a conducive learning environment for both teachers and students. Therefore, establishing an IT leadership framework is essential for primary and secondary school principals, particularly within the context of Liaoning Province.
This IT leadership framework for school administrators in the 4.0 era should encompass the ability to leverage technology to enhance operational processes and improve teaching and learning. Additionally, it should foster a deep understanding of using technology efficiently, emphasizing the development of technological skills, data management, data analysis for decision-making, and promoting an organizational culture that supports flexible learning and rapid adaptation to change.
Liaoning Province, a region undergoing rapid economic and social transformation, requires the development of an IT leadership framework for school principals to ensure that the education system responds effectively to the needs and challenges of the digital age. By presenting this leadership framework, we aim to enhance the capacity of school leaders to manage education in the 4.0 era with efficiency and sustainability.
