Leadership focusing on material and human factors% of teachersMaterial factorsHuman factors100807276736055404537200PRIMSECVETFigure 8.5: ICT leadership, according to teachers (TNS NIPO, 2010)8.3 The futureIt is possible that school managers’ leadership behavior is set to change.When asked to name their top priority in terms of achieving their school’sICT goals, school managers say that in order to bring about the necessarychanges in ICT use, they would like to place more emphasis on teachers’professional development and on identifying a pedagogical visionconcerning the use of ICT (Figure 8.6). In other words, their emphasis isshifting from material to human factors.This will require a different type of leadership behavior, one that is lessconcerned with making facilities available (without obliging teachersto use them) and more focused on encouraging and guiding teachers asprofessionals.72

Two thirds of teacherssay that ICT use is a matter of personal preference, and that there areno shared (school-wide) goals.• Approximately eight out of ten schools have an ICT policy plan. Abouthalf of these schools actually implement this plan. Many policy planshave not been updated, and schools evidently find it difficult to definethe relationship between their pedagogical vision and ICT.• Most teachers think that their school leadership stresses infrastructureand digital learning materials (material factors) more than professionaldevelopment and vision (human factors).• In order to ensure that more teachers make better use of ICT,school managers would like to put greater emphasis on professionaldevelopment and on identifying a pedagogical vision concerning the useof ICT.73
