The Degree of Employing Technology by Secondary School Principals in the Capital, Amman, in Performing their Job Duties from their Point of View

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the degree to which secondary school principals in the capital, Amman, employ technology in performing their job duties from their own point of view. The study used a quantitative research design and collected data through an online survey questionnaire. The sample consisted of 200 secondary school principals selected through stratified random sampling. The study investigated the frequency and types of technology used, the challenges faced in technology use, and the respondents' agreement with the statement that technology has improved their job performance. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents reported using email and social media, and the most commonly reported challenge was a lack of training. Additionally, the study found that the majority of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that technology has improved their job performance. These findings provide insights into the current state of technology use among secondary school principals in Amman and highlight areas for improvement in training and resource allocation. The study suggests that further research is needed to explore the impact of technology use on educational outcomes and to identify effective strategies for promoting and supporting the use of technology in educational leadership.
