Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine early childhood teachers' importance and performance of technology leadership. A survey was conducted on 205 early childhood teachers. Borich's needs model was used to calculate their needs. In the area of director leadership and vision, the early childhood teachers felt the most need for opportunities to participate in conferences or training programs related to the educational utilization of technology. In the area of teaching-learning methods, they called the most for better ways to take advantage of technology considering the characteristics of the activity areas and activity types. In the area of teaching professionalism, the items they asked for the most were building confidence over the educational utilization of technology and case studies of superior teaching and learning. In the area of institutional support, they felt the most need for assistant human resources who could assist in solving possible problems using technology. In the area of evaluation, they called the most for the development of a variety of evaluation tools and methods. Finally, the item they called for the most in the area of social, ethical, and legal support from the institutions to which they belonged was the preparation of guidelines on how to be in good health in times of using technology.
