A Training Program Based on Educational Design in Light of the Training needs to Develop some Technological Skills among School Principals

Abstract

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of implementing an educational design-based training program on the improvement of technical skills among school principals in Abha City. A research investigation was undertaken on a group of principals who were associated with secondary schools situated in Abha City. The aim of the study was to assess the potential influence of the training program on principals' proficiency in many domains of technology, encompassing analysis, design, production, usage, management, assessment, and follow-up and development abilities. The study lasted for a period of one month. The study consisted of a cohort of 24 principals, with an equal distribution of 12 persons in both the experimental and control groups. The findings of the study demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in post-test scores related to the acquisition of technological skills, specifically in the domains of analysis, design, production, usage, management, evaluation, and follow-up and development, for the experimental group as compared to the control group. No statistically significant differences were found in the scores of the experimental group and the control group in terms of their technological skills, specifically in the areas of analysis skills, design skills, production skills, usage skills, management skills, evaluation skills, and follow-up and development skills, both immediately after the intervention and during the subsequent follow-up assessment.
