The analysis of the notions of Russian school principals about digital transformation by A. A. Deryabin, I. E. Boytsov, A. A. Popov, P. D. Rabinovich, K. E. Zavedensky, I. S. Tsarkov

“…The research findings demonstrated the significant imbalance in the frequency of responses: the most frequent answers belong to the “Infrastructure” category, while the least frequent ones belong to the categories of pedagogical aspects of digital transformation affecting changes in the educational content and methods for assessing educational outcomes. It is concluded that the respondents’ replies reflect the institutional position of school principals in the current educational system: a head of a government-funded school positions herself/himself as an administrative executor and a representative of the founder, rather than a leader of the teaching team. …”
