Abstract

In the era where digital technology plays a profound role in education systems, digital leadership has become an essential attribute for those aspiring to educational leadership positions, especially for graduate students in educational administration. This article aims to study, analyze, and synthesize the concept of digital leadership within the context of graduate education by examining approaches to learning and self-management. The study employed a literature review and analysis of related research. The discussion revealed that digital leadership comprises technological skills, self-regulation, vision communication, and digital ethics, all of which are related to expressing leadership in an educational context. It also found that promoting critical thinking, the ethical use of technology, and a vision that keeps pace with change are all crucial foundations of digital-age leadership. Therefore, this article proposes guidelines for educational institutions and instructors on creating a learning environment that fosters leadership among student teachers and educational administrators.
