7. Scientific / Theoretical Background Concept Paper

8. Technology Acceptance Model It was introduced by Fred D. Davis in 1986 . It is used to understand technology adoption by individuals, it can be adapted to explore how school leaders adopt and use digital tools. The model can help explain factors influencing school leaders' acceptance and use of digital tools, such as perceived usefulness and ease of use.

9. Transformational Leadership Theory This theory was first introduced by James MacGregor Burns in 1978 and later expanded upon by Bernard M. Bass in the 1980s . The study focuses on how technology can enhance leadership effectiveness, this theory can be used to explore how digital tools can help school leaders inspire and motivate staff, create a shared vision, and foster a positive school culture.

10. Knowledge Gap to be Filled This study aims to explore the interplay between Technology Integration and School Leadership Practices , identifying specific mechanisms through which technology impacts leadership.

11. Gathering data or information through survey questionnaires from different school leaders. Collecting, interpreting, and analyzing the data from answered survey questionnaires Based on the findings of the study, the researcher will recommend effective solutions that will improve the school leadership practices with the use of technology. 1. How may the level of digital tools be described in terms of: 1.1 ease of use; 1.2 functionality; and 1.3 integration within school leadership practices? 2. How do digital tools influence school management in terms of: 2.1 decision making; 2.2 communication; and 2.3 collaboration? 3. Is there a significant relationship between the digital tools and school management? INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT Conceptual Framework

12. Research Design, Methods, and Materials This study used a descriptive research design. This design allows to collect data on the current state of technology integration and its perceived impact on leadership practices from a representative sample of school leaders.

13. Survey Instrument Development A standardized questionnaire will be created to gather data on the following: Demographics: School characteristics (level, size, location) and respondent demographics will be collected using multiple-choice and open-ended questions. Digital Tool Integration: Questions will assess the ease of use and functionality of various digital tools (data platforms, LMS, communication tools, automation software) using a combination of multiple-choice and Likert scale items.

14. Survey Instrument Development For example:

15. Survey Instrument Development School Leadership Practices: Items will assess the perceived impact of technology on leadership practices using statements with 4-point Likert scale responses. For example:
