Relationships between ICT Implementation at Schools and Factors Related to Transformational Leadership: A Case of Primary School in Mongolia
Yamamoto, Yukiko; Yamaguchi, Shinobu
International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology, v15 n2 p45-61 2019
In recent years, Information Communication Technology (ICT) has played an essential part in the delivery of quality education. With this trend, a number of efforts have been implemented in Mongolia; however, strategic implementation is still needed to fully utilize ICT in education practice. As school leadership is one of the most influential factors for school reform, this study paid close attention to school leadership. Specifically, it looked at leadership factors related to four components of transformational leadership (Charisma or idealized influence, Inspirational motivation, Intellectual stimulation, and Individualized consideration). Correlation analysis was utilized to find how these factors are related to ICT implementation at schools in Mongolia; namely, school leaders' perceptions of ICT use in classroom teaching and funding allocation for ICT training. The data was collected from 222 school leaders from five regions in the country. The study found that the component of inspirational motivation is especially important for ICT use in classroom teaching. Teachers' collaborations which stimulate innovation is associated with both teachers' ICT use in teaching, and funding allocation for ICT training. In addition, the results support the relevance of transformational leadership for implementing ICT at the school level in the Mongolian context.
