Abstract

Today, in the era of the industrial revolution 5.0, wherein the people's lives, information and communication technology are used in all fields, including education. But on the other hand, not all people are ready to use it. The purpose of this study is to reveal the frequency of principals use information and communication technology in managing schools and the variables that influence it. The research used a survey method, with a sample of 81 school principals and teachers who were taken randomly. Questionnaires were used for collecting data. While descriptive statistics and regression were used for analyzing the data. The results showed that the frequency of school principals in using ICT was included in the sufficient category, with the order of use for planning, condition analysis, implementation, outcome evaluation, and process evaluation. Some applications such as WhatsApp, google forms, zoom, google meet, email, video recording, telephone, and audio recording are used widely. The level of effectiveness is included in the effective category. The variable that has a significant effect is the level of education of the principals, while the variables of gender, rank, and work period do not have a significant effect. © 2021 IEEE.
