Investigation of School Administrators’ Technological Leadership in Terms of Gender

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of gender on the technological leadership of school administrators. For this purpose, 31 studies were reached between 2008-2018 years. These studies were analyzed by using the meta-analysis method. The total sample size of the analyzed studies is found as 9867. In the studies analyzed in the meta-analysis, there are two different types of data groups: the technological leadership of the administrators in teachers' eyes and the technological leadership of the administrators in their own eyes. As a result of the analysis; it has been determined that both teachers and administrators think that male school administrators have higher technological leadership than women (ES = -0.010). In addition to this result, it has been determined that the effect of gender variable on technological leadership is mostly in administrators, but overall effect size is weak in teachers (ES = 0.009) and managers (ES = -0.044).
