Abstract

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed educational systems and demands a high level of school readiness in terms of technology, organizational culture, and human resources. However, many schools remain inadequately prepared due to school leadership that has not fully adapted to digital transformation. This study aims to analyze how principals’ digital leadership influences school readiness in facing the AI era. Employing a qualitative approach, this research uses a systematic library research method by reviewing relevant scientific publications published between 2021 and 2026. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns, key concepts, and dominant findings related to digital leadership and school readiness. The findings reveal that principals’ digital leadership plays a significant role in enhancing school readiness through three interconnected dimensions: the formulation of a strategic digital vision and effective management of digital infrastructure, the development of a supportive digital culture within the school environment, and the facilitation of continuous teacher professional development in response to AI-driven educational demands. These dimensions collectively contribute to the creation of an adaptive and sustainable school ecosystem. The study implies that principals must function as change agents who not only provide technological resources but also strategically strengthen institutional systems, organizational culture, and human resource capacities to ensure the effective and responsible implementation of AI in schools.

Abstract

The digital transformation of education requires teachers' readiness to integrate technology into the learning process. This readiness is not only influenced by individual factors, but also influenced by organizational support, including the leadership role of the principal. This study aims to analyze the influence of school principals' digital leadership on teachers' readiness in the digital transformation of education. The research uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. The research sample consisted of 50 elementary school teachers in Merangin Regency, Jambi Province who were selected using the purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression. The results showed that the digital leadership of school principals was in the high category with an average score of 30.50, while teacher readiness was also in the high category with an average score of 31.08. The results of the regression test showed that the digital leadership of school principals had a positive and significant effect on teacher readiness (β = 0.875; t = 12.516; p < 0.05). The value of the determination coefficient (R² = 0.765) showed that digital leadership contributed 76.5% to teacher readiness. These findings affirm the importance of strengthening the digital leadership of school principals in supporting the success of digital transformation of education.
