Appraising Best Practices for Technology Integration in Educational Leadership and Management in Malaysia

Abstract: This conceptual paper appraises four best practices for technology use in educational leadership and management within the Malaysian context. Each practice is analyzed for its alignment with national policies, its practical implementation challenges, and its potential to drive meaningful change in schools and educational institutions. The practices selected—data-driven decision-making, digital collaboration platforms, capacity building for digital literacy, and Learning Management Systems (LMS) integration—are chosen for their relevance to the unique needs of Malaysia’s diverse education system, which comprises urban and rural schools, national and vernacular institutions, and varying levels of technological infrastructure. Keywords: Technology integration, educational leadership and management, Malaysia.
