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

Researcher reflexivity has become an important principle within the post-positivist paradigm because it enhances transparency, integrity, and the quality of scientific inquiry. This study aims to analyze and synthesize the development of research on researcher reflexivity within the post-positivist paradigm, focusing on its conceptual development, implementation practices, contributions to research quality, and challenges in its application. This study employed a qualitative research design using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method based on the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Relevant literature published between 2022 and 2026 was identified, selected, and analyzed through a thematic synthesis approach to explore patterns and emerging themes related to researcher reflexivity. The findings indicate that reflexivity has developed beyond a personal reflective process into a methodological strategy that strengthens research trustworthiness through credibility, dependability, confirmability, and transferability. The study implies that integrating reflexivity practices systematically can support more transparent, accountable, and rigorous research processes. Furthermore, this synthesis provides a conceptual foundation for researchers and scholars to develop improved methodological frameworks that recognize the researcher’s role in knowledge construction.
