Purpose

The purpose of this study is to examine school leaders' experiences with adoption and implementation of artificial intelligence systems in their schools. It examined the factors that led educational administrators to adopt one artificial intelligence program (ALEKS) and their perceptions around the implementation process.

Design/methodology/approach

This was a qualitative case study that included structured interviews with seven individuals who have adopted artificial intelligence programs in their schools. Participants were identified through purposive and snowball sampling. Interview transcripts were analyzed and put through a two-step coding process involving in vivo coding as well as pattern coding.

Findings

Two major themes emerged from this study pertaining to the state of the diffusion of artificial intelligence through the adoption and implementation process. The findings indicated that school leaders were actively engaged in conversations related to AI adoption and implementation. They also created structures (organizational) to ensure the successful adoption and implementation of artificial intelligence.

Originality/value

This is an original study that examined the experiences of school leaders who have adopted and implemented artificial intelligence in their schools. The body of literature related to artificial intelligence and school leadership is extremely limited.

学校领导对人工智能的采用和实施

目的

本研究的目的是检查学校领导在其学校采用和实施人工智能系统的经验。它检查了导致教育管理人员采用一种人工智能程序 (ALEKS) 的因素以及他们对实施过程的看法。

设计/方法/方法

这是一项定性案例研究，其中包括对在学校采用人工智能项目的七个人进行结构化访谈。参与者是通过有目的的和滚雪球抽样确定的。对访谈记录进行分析并进行两步编码过程，包括体内编码和模式编码。

发现

本研究中出现了两个主要主题，涉及人工智能在采用和实施过程中的传播状态。调查结果表明，学校领导积极参与与人工智能采用和实施相关的对话。他们还创建了结构（组织）以确保成功采用和实施人工智能。

原创性/价值

这是一项原创研究，调查了在学校采用和实施人工智能的学校领导的经验。与人工智能和学校领导力相关的文献极其有限。
