The school principal took a significant role in running the education process at school. The role of a school principal has become more complex during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study aimed to identify the school principals' roles in handling issues at school that the Covid-19 Pandemic caused. Specifically, this study identified the issues faced by students, parents, and teachers in the online learning process during the Covid-19 pandemic and how the school principal handled those issues. This study followed a literature review approach. The study data were collected from the research articles from indexed national and international journals and were analyzed qualitatively using the interactive data analysis model. The study results showed that students, parents, and teachers faced various problems in the online learning process. Those problems include infrastructure, time, financial, digital literacy, and psychological issues. Considering those problems, the school principals took a significant role in bridging students' and parents' demands with the issues faced by the teachers. The school principals took several strategies to solve the problems. The novel thing that this study offers is that the previous studies mostly viewed online learning issues from a specific point of view. However, this study tried to view those issues comprehensively and link those issues to the principal school roles. The researchers did that to get the bigger picture of the issues. Thus, the study results can be a basis for further studies that aim to improve the quality of online learning.
School principal leadership has a vital role in school performance. The COVID-19 pandemic brings new challenges for the school principal leadership in developing countries. Thus, this study aimed to identify those new challenges. Specifically, this article explains the role of School Principal Leadership in facing those challenges in maintaining teachers' and students' performances, building parents' support, and applying government regulations. This study was conducted by following a systematic literature review approach. There were four steps conducted in this study: designing the review, conducting the review, analyzing, and writing the review. The researchers collected the data from the articles published in international journals indexed by Scopus. Then, the collected data were analyzed qualitatively using an interactive data analysis model. This study found that school principal leadership faces new challenges in maintaining the teachers' motivation to teach and students' motivation to study through online learning. Besides, the school principals also have to educate the parents to monitor their children's learning. At the same time, the school principals also need to ensure that the schools follow the government regulation on preventing the spread of COVID-19. The detailed findings and suggestions for further research are presented in this article.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
