7.0 Limitations
Although we have found several encouraging results, it is important to recognize that the current findings
also have limitations. First, the sample size should be increased because using data from a larger number of
respondents will permit more powerful findings. Second, participants of this study completed a self-reported
instrument. Given the self-reporting nature of this instrument, it was quite possible that principals overrated their
proficiency or underrated their proficiency. These ratings may not reflect the true proficiency levels of the
principals. In spite of these limitations, this study will be useful for policy makers, providers of professional
development programs for principals and for system level decision makers to support mechanism and strategies to
assist principals to develop their knowledge, skills and their leadership style. Thus, principals will understand the
critical role that they play in facilitating the implementation of ICT in schools to improve teaching, learning and
administrative processes. Therefore, we need leaders, not bosses, who help us develop a clearer vision and shed light
in the moments of dark confusion (Wheatley & Margaret, 1992).
