THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRAINING PROGRAM ENHANCING INSTRUCTORS’ ICT LEADERSHIP FOR PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES IN JINAN, CHINA

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a training program to improve ICT leadership among instructors at private universities in Jinan, China. The study included 405 instructors from four private universities in Jinan. Various statistical methods, such as frequency, percentage, mean, paired sample t-test, and multiple regression, and were used to develop the training program. The results showed that factors such as instructors' ICT leadership, ICT attitudes, self-efficacy, school culture, leadership support, and training had a significant impact on instructors' ICT leadership. Based on these factors, an ICT leadership training program was developed. The study also found a significant difference in instructors' ICT leadership before and after participating in the training program, indicating the effectiveness of the program. The researchers suggested that private universities in Jinan should implement this training program to enhance instructors' ICT leadership in the future.
