Implementation of Artificial Intelligence and the Roles of Educational Leadership: Investigating the Expectations of Kindergartens’ Principals

Technology is a new methodology based on the conscious use of information and communication technologies in the exercise of the basic functions of management in the organizations of the era of globalization. The aim is to investigate the expectations of kindergartens’ principals concerning the effect of implementing AI on the roles of educational leadership. This is a cross-sectional study. Survey research through interviews is the most appropriate research strategy. Interviews are held over a period of four our meeting on Zoom App, interspersing with two intervals, as a 15-minute break. The data from the interviews indicate that four themes emerge: people as well as AI go side by side in several human tasks and jobs, personality traits and characteristics, building a sustainable ecosystem…making everyone a part of the team, and activating the role of artificial intelligence and setting the rules governing it. This study has identified several implications that AI will have on the leadership role. All school staff, administration and teachers have become sufficiently competent in using AI applications in their work and teaching tasks, along with face-to-face learning, since the outbreak and spread of the Corona epidemic before.
