Technological leadership of kindergarten teachers along their careers and during the COVID-19 period

The study examines the use of technology by kindergarten teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the course of their professional careers, and their attitudes toward the integration of technology in kindergartens with the resolution of the crisis. The article presents findings derived from interviews with kindergarten teachers in Israel. The study revealed three patterns of technology use by kindergarten teachers, with no differences between career stages. The avoidance pattern (37%), the structured activism pattern (22%), and the entrepreneurial pattern (40%). The findings of the study contradict the approach that explains the use of technology based on career stages.
