Technological dynamism of school through the leadership of the ICT coordinator

Abstract

The main aim of this research is to analyze factors with the greatest impact on the technological dynamism in certain schools. As well, the differences between Autonomous Communities are going to be researched through the ANOVA technique. To determine the sample, a selection process was devised to provide the most useful data, which was collected in a sample of 49 schools through a scale elaborated and directed to ICT coordinators and managers from the schools selected. After proving the scale, a validity and reliability test was performed to examine the internal consistency, means and standard deviations were calculated and the ANOVA technique was applied. Although significant differences were not found between Autonomous Communities, this study has provided a quantitative measure of actions that ICT coordinators assumed in practice. The implications of leadership in the role of ICT coordinators in schools were also discussed.
