Abstract:
This study examined the technology leadership practices and reflective teaching approaches of public elementary school teachers in the Dupax del Norte II District. Specifically, it focused on four dimensions of technology leadership—technological vision, technology competence, technology-related professional development, and technology integration—and five dimensions of reflective teaching: self-assessment and pedagogical awareness, learner-centered reflection, use of feedback and evidence, adaptability and instructional improvement, and professional growth and lifelong learning. The respondents consisted of 88 permanent teachers selected through Slovin’s formula and stratified sampling during the school year 2025–2026. Data were gathered using a validated researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson product–moment correlation at a 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that technology leadership practices were perceived as high (𝑥̄ = 3.20), with Technology Vision obtaining the highest mean. Reflective teaching approaches were also rated high (𝑥̄ = 3.34), particularly in the use of feedback and evidence. A strong and significant relationship was found between technology leadership and reflective teaching (r = 0.761, p = 0.001), indicating that effective technology leadership supports reflective practice, instructional improvement, and professional growth. Based on these results, a training design was developed focusing on addressing identified gaps through Learning Action Cell–based modules that strengthen leadership capacity, reflective practice, and instructional effectiveness. The study concludes that strong technology leadership fosters a reflective teaching culture that enhances teaching quality and student learning outcomes.
