Abstract

The article discusses the theoretical and practical aspects of educational leadership in the context of digital transformation. At the present stage, the widespread use of digital technologies, artificial intelligence, educational platforms and data-based management tools requires a change in the way educational organizations are managed. In this regard, the task of the educational leader is not limited to the introduction of digital tools, but is characterized by combining technological changes with pedagogical goals, developing the digital competence of teachers, creating an innovative culture and creating a safe and inclusive digital environment for students. The purpose of the study is to identify the content of educational leadership in the context of digital transformation, systematize its key competencies and determine its role in adapting educational organizations to digital changes. In the course of the study, methods of systematic theoretical review of scientific literature, comparative analysis, study of regulatory documents and content analysis were used. International research highlights such components of digital leadership as strategic thinking, digital change management, teacher support, innovation promotion, and intra-organizational cooperation. In the context of Kazakhstan, this direction is associated with the policy of digitalization of education, the development of digital infrastructure and the gradual introduction of artificial intelligence into the educational process.
