Abstract

This investigation sought information about principals and their relationship with computer technology. Several questions were fundamental to the inquiry. Are principals prepared to facilitate the attainment of technology's promise through the integration of computer technology into the teaching and learning process? Are principals prepared to use computer technology to accomplish administrative and managerial tasks? What can be stated about principals' current expertise to use computer technology? Principals' responses to items on the Computer Technology Survey enabled an examination of their (a) role in facilitating and participating in the integration of computer technology into teaching and learning, (b) perceptions about computer technology for managerial and administrative tasks, (c) expertise acquired to use computer technology, and (d) professional development needs to enhance computer technology skills.
