Özet:

 Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the relationships between technology leadership competencies and lifelong learning competencies of school principals and to reveal whether technology leadership and life-long learning competencies predict each other. DesignMethodologyApproach: The research was designed according to the correlational survey method, as one of the quantitative research methods. The sample of the study is from 150 school principals of primary, middle, and high schools, that are public and private schools affiliated to Beykoz, Kadıköy, Üsküdar District Directorate of National Education in the 2017-2018 academic year. The data of the research were collected with the Technology Leadership Competence Scale, the Life-long Learning Competence Scale and the Personal Information Form. The data were analyzed by correlation and regression analyses. Findings: As a result of the research; we found that technology leadership and life-long learning competency levels affect each other. Among the sub-dimensions of technology leadership, we found that only the dimension of excellence in professional development significantly predicted life-long learning competence. It is seen that life-long learning competence affects the level of technology leadership. However, it was found that none of the life-long learning competency dimensions significantly predicted technology leadership competency. Highlights: In todays rapidly changing conditions, technology leadership is considered to be important. In this respect, the fact that life-long learning competence and technology leadership competence predict each other leads to the conclusion that steps should be taken to increase the competencies of administrators in this field in order to integrate the rapid changes brought by the digital age into education and training.
