Abstract

Although Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) are now widely available in schools they appear not to have been integrated into teaching and learning either as widely or as thoroughly as was hoped. One influential factor, which may not have been given the attention it deserves, is the role of school leaders. Relatively little is known about how the beliefs of principals influence the uptake of ICTs in their schools. This paper attempts to describe a conceptual framework for understanding that role and an exploratory research project based upon that framework. It opens new lines of enquiry about the crucial roles of school leaders in the adoption of ICTs
