This study aims to explore the impact of a collaborative leadership style on the implementation of educational technology in public preschool institutions in Kosovo, with a particular focus on the “Zambaku” kindergarten in Prizren. The research relies on a qualitative approach, with the aim of understanding how the principal’s democratic and inclusive leadership influences the readiness and motivation of educators to use technology in the learning process.
Through semi-structured interviews and observations in the institution's premises, the study aims to analyze the dynamics of communication, shared decision-making, and the support that the principal provides in the process of technological integration. The results show that the collaborative leadership style creates a positive institutional culture, where educators feel valued and encouraged to experiment with digital tools in a creative way.
This study contributes to the literature on educational leadership and digital transformation in early childhood education, providing practical insights into how effective collaboration and communication between leaders and staff can foster successful and sustainable implementation of technology in public preschool institutions in Kosovo.
