The Connotation Evolution and Enhancement Strategies of Digital Leadership in China's Universities in the Context of Digital Transformation

Abstract

Global digital transformation is affecting all walks of life in a subtle way, and higher education is among them. Digitalization has undoubtedly become one of the core issues in school governance decision-making, and the digital leadership of college leaders is the key to promote the digital transformation of school education to adapt to the digital wave. However, considering the theoretical level, practical level and individual level, it is found that the level of digital leadership of university leaders is weak and urgent changes need to be made. Based on the evolution of the connotation of the dual theories of informatization leadership and digital leadership, the study traces the origins of digital leadership at home and abroad through the literature research method, and combs through the essential differences between educational informatization leadership and digital leadership from four aspects: leadership concept, application scope, data value, and competence requirements, so as to put forward the strategy of improving digital leadership for college leaders: The first is to transform the cognition of digital technology and improve the inductive reflection power of digital application; the second is to strengthen the cultivation of digital planning power and formulate the standard of digital leadership; the third is to cultivate the power of data decision-making and analysis, and to call for the formation of school data team. In order to provide certain reference for the reform and construction of digital team of leaders in China's colleges and universities in the new era.
