“…These researchers stated that in order to take action in digitalized schools, school leaders must realize the possibilities and constraints in educational technologies and to become pedagogically and technologically competent in their role as ICT leaders. According to the analysis, a possible solution put forth by Afshari et al (2009) as well as Stuart et al (2009) is school leaders participating in continuing professional development (CPD). In the same line of reasoning, Dexter (2008) and Petersen (2014) found that CPD should include both development of digital competence in using digital technologies and digital competence in how school and institutional infrastructures should to be organized to facilitate the everyday work in digitalized schools.…”

“…The second sub-theme is related to school leaders' digital competence being a main barrier for transforming ICT-policies into system-wide professional development and educational change (Afshari et al 2009;Dexter 2008;Petersen 2014;Stuart et al 2009). For example, Stuart et al (2009) described how school leaders are exposed to increasing demands when digital technologies are integrated into the everyday work of school.…”

On the issues of digital competence in educational contexts – a review of literature

2017

In this review focus is on how digital competence in educational contexts has been addressed in international research over the last 10 years in terms of policy, organizational infrastructures, strategic leadership as well as teachers and their teaching practices. The analysis shows that although research on digital competence in educational contexts has increased, knowledge on digital competence related to organizational infrastructures and strategic leadership are sparse. The analysis indicated that most research focuses on the specific competence needed by teachers and therefore tends to neglect the influence of broader contextual conditions in the wider school setting. Based on the review, three suggestions for further research can be provided. Firstly, to address research on organizational infrastructures and digital competent leadership. Secondly, to elaborate on theoretical frameworks that can close the gap between research on policy, organizational infrastructures, strategic leadership as well as teachers and their teaching practices. A third suggestion is for researchers to become involved in the development of new approaches that can enhance digital competence in educational contexts. It can be concluded that digital competence might not benefit from being regarded as an isolated phenomena on the level of single actors. Rather, it can be regarded as an organizational task, influenced and driven by several contextual factors embedded within and across a wider school organization.

“…TPB has been used previously to better understand the dissonance between intentions and behaviour in teachers' application of technology in the classroom (for example, see Cox, Preston, & Cox, 1999;Pierce & Ball, 2009;Salleh & Albion, 2004;Stuart, Mills, & Remus, 2009). However, these studies have tended to focus on the implementation of technology as a tool for teaching (e.g.…”

Abstract-Integration of ICT in education is a complex idea that requires practical interpretation to get significant outcomes. As a developing country, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (the KSA) does not have a proper technological infrastructure as developed countries. Efficient strategies are vital in improving the application of ICT in the KSA's primary schools effectively. Improving the usage of ICT in the KSA primary schools achievement entails integrating ICT into classroom. However, some barriers that prevent a successful ICT implementation in the primary school are still present. This paper proposes several strategies to trounce the challenges. Several recommendations for ICT integration in primary school applicable in the case of the KSA are also necessary. These strategies are executable at school and national scale.
