Η επίδραση των νέων Τεχνολογιών της Πληροφορίας και της Επικοινωνίας στην οργάνωση και διοίκηση των σχολικών μονάδων

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of ICT use on the organization and management of school units. Following the literature review of empirical research on primary and secondary education, the importance of supportive leadership in the successful implementation of ICT and school changes in the management practices they adopt are highlighted. In particular, the use of information management systems and various Web 2.0 tools proves to provide extensive administrative support to managers and promotes e-leadership. They are tools that change the whole school culture, improve the school climate, develop interaction and communication among the members of the school community, assess the implementation of the curriculum, make decisions based on objective data, and further improve pedagogical efficiency of school units. In summary, under these circumstances, school administration embodies key features of transformational leadership and functions as a group and distribution activity in terms of participatory management.
