DIGITAL LEADERSHIP INDICATORS FOR ADMINISTRATORS IN SCHOOLS UNDER THE OFFICE OF THE BASIC EDUCATION COMMISSION

Abstract

The objectives this dissertation were as follows: 1) to develop the digital leadership indicators of school administrators under Office of the Basic Education Commission, 2) to test the balancing of the digital leadership indicators model developed from empirical data and 3) to indicate factors, indicators and indicator behaviors with construct validity or composition weight according to the specified criteria.  The data of this quantitative research were collected from 640 samples consisting. The data were analyzed by mean, standard deviation, distribution coefficient, and factor analysis through computerized statistical program.

            The results of the study were found that:

            1) There were 12 digital leadership indicators of school administrators classified by 4 factor dimensions in structural relation model 1) Collaboration elements 2) Digital literacy elements 3) Digital Vision elements 4) Communication elements. The 60 behaviors indicators used in the research had appropriate average value and distribution coefficient allocated in every structural relationship model which according to the criteria set, the average was higher than 3.00 and the distribution coefficient was equal or lower than 20% 

1. The measurement model of each component developed from the theory and research was positively consistent with the empirical data.
2. The factor loading of each indicator and balance component was higher than the specified criteria at 0.05. Indicators and indicator behaviors had standard weight higher than the specified criteria at 0.30.
