This
study investigates the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based
technologies in educational administration, focusing on the opportunities and
challenges they present. Grounded in the conceptual frameworks of Technological
Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) and the theory of organizational
learning, this research employs a qualitative methodology, utilizing a
comprehensive documentary review and document analysis. A systematic search of
academic databases, online repositories, and educational websites was conducted
to identify relevant documents, reports, and scholarly articles concerning AI’s
role in educational administration. The findings reveal that while AI
technologies offer significant opportunities for enhancing administrative
efficiency, data-driven decision-making, and personalized learning experiences,
they also pose challenges such as ethical concerns, data privacy issues, and
the need for substantial training for educational leaders. The critique
highlights the necessity for educational institutions to foster a culture of
organizational learning to adapt to AI integration effectively. In conclusion,
the study emphasizes the importance of developing strategic frameworks that
align AI applications with educational goals, ensuring that administrators are
equipped to leverage these technologies responsibly. Recommendations include
investing in professional development programs, establishing clear ethical
guidelines, and promoting collaboration among stakeholders to maximize the
benefits of AI in educational administration. This research contributes to the
ongoing discourse on the intersection of technology and education, providing
valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and researchers interested in
the transformative potential of AI in educational contexts.
