The Influence of COVID-19 on Campus Leaders’ Curriculum Integration, Perceptions Towards, and Acquired Expertise in Technology

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of COVID-19 on campus leaders’ curriculum integration, perceptions towards the usage, and acquired experience in technology.

A purposeful sample of 171 Texas K-12 campus administrators completed the Principal’s Computer Technology Survey. Of those, 10 lead campus administrators participated in one-on-one semi-structured interviews.

Findings indicated campus leaders’ curriculum integration and perceptions towards technology were significantly influenced by COVID-19. Campus leaders admitted that COVID-19 had an impact on relying more on technology regarding communication, teachers requiring more in terms of emotional, behavioral, and technological support, and the use of technology as a replacement versus creation.
