Abstract

Today, with the advancements in artificial intelligence, educational leadership in schools is increasingly moving towards greater utilization of data and intelligent analytics. The goal of this research has been to examine the role of artificial intelligence in educational leadership within schools. The study employed a qualitative approach using a meta-synthesis method. The research community comprised over 400 articles, among which 44 documents were selected for analysis. Data analysis utilized a coding method, from which initially 172 open codes were extracted, followed by the identification of 16 axial codes, and finally, 3 selective codes representing the role of artificial intelligence in educational leadership were recognized.The findings of the research indicated that the role of artificial intelligence in educational leadership in schools encompasses: personalized learning experiences for students such as explorative learning environments, individual counseling for students, intelligent learning, smart platforms for self-learning, and customized educational content delivery; administrative tasks of managers, including maintaining student records, automated scheduling and lesson planning, facilitating decision-making in educational settings, predicting student performance, and automated student admissions and registrations; and daily tasks for teachers, such as providing adaptive teaching strategies, smart teaching, monitoring the learning process, automated grading of assignments and exams, digital assistance, and providing instant feedback. Ultimately, with the help of artificial intelligence, educational leaders can enhance the quality of education, improve teaching effectiveness, facilitate teachers’ daily activities, and optimize the administrative processes of schools
