Summary/Abstract: The aim of this research is to examine the perceptions of teachers about the level of school principals fulfilling their technology leadership roles and to determine the views of educational administrators about educational technologies and practices in schools in the context of globalization. The research was carried out with 302 teachers and 30 school administrators working in Tekirdağ. Sequential explanatory design among the mixed-method research designs was preferred in the study. “Technology Leadership Scale” and semi-structured interview form were used as data collection tools. Findings obtained from the research showed that school principals perform their technology leadership roles at a moderate level. As a result of the research; it was found that the perceptions of the teachers regarding the realization of the technology leadership roles of the school principals were at a moderate level and the perceptions of teachers working in primary schools regarding the realization of technology leadership roles of school principals were higher than those of teachers working at other levels. In addition, it has been found that the school principals’ perception of their school as a global school, having sufficient technological equipment, international projects and experiences abroad are effective.
