Irmak GÜR — 2025-06-25

The purpose of this research is to examine academic articles published between 2019 and 2024 regarding school principals' use of technology. The study was conducted using one of the qualitative research methods, the descriptive content analysis method, which is one of the non-interactive designs. The population of the research consists of articles published between 2019 and 2024 on school principals' use of technology, as found in Google Scholar. The data collection tool used in the study was a form developed by the researcher, based on the Educational Technology Publication Classification Form developed by Göktaş. For the analysis of the research data, one of the qualitative analysis methods, descriptive analysis, was employed. This research examined articles published between 2019 and 2024 on school principals' use of technology and revealed that the studies vary according to years, journals, methods, and data collection tools. It was observed that the number of articles peaked in 2019 and 2020 but decreased in subsequent years, which was interpreted as a potential shift in researchers' focus. The publication of the studies in 13 different journals indicates the interdisciplinary significance of the topic. Among the research methods, quantitative methods were the most frequently used, comprising 60% of the studies, while qualitative methods accounted for 40%. Surveys emerged as the most commonly used data collection tool (60%). Descriptive analyses were the most preferred analysis method at 46.67%, but the limited use of relational analyses suggested that the relationships between variables were less frequently examined. In the future, conducting more comprehensive studies involving mixed methods and international collaboration is considered crucial for understanding the global dimension of the topic and contributing to digital transformation processes in education.
