Editorial for AI Research in Educational Leadership

Abstract

With a focus on AI based technological implications for and enactments in the global world, AIREL welcomes researchers from all perspectives to participate in a debate on the effects of education digitalization over educational leadership and management. It seeks papers that demonstrate how the rising use of AI and immersive technologies associates with and influences all areas of educational administration, including policy and decision-making, legal regulations, and financing, through empirical as well as conceptual research. It also encourages submissions that examine how AI and metaverse technologies mobilise and reflect global policies, discourses and trends in education, and how the digitalisation of education has positive educational and managerial implications as well as negative impacts, such as how it is linked to power inequalities and injustices within and between nations.
