Abstract

This paper focuses on how school leaders understand digitalization and the digital competences needed for leading digitalization in Swedish schools. In this small study, 31 school leaders at the end of their studies in the Swedish national professional development program for school leaders answered a survey, mainly based on open questions, regarding professional development and leadership for digitalization. In the analysis, Dexter’s four categories of (a) setting the direction, (b) developing people, (c) developing the organization, and (d) developing teaching and learning, were used to bring order in the data. The results show that school leaders see digitalization as a wide and complex concept including technical, pedagogical, administrational and organizational challenges at all levels of the school organization.
