Leading Digital Leadership in Schools: Future Implications towards Nation Based on The Quadruple Helix Model

Abstract

Digital leadership is one of the leadership styles that is much discussed. The influence of digital leadership has also affected the education sector. However, the use of digital leadership in education is still limited in Malaysia. In Malaysia, leadership research mainly discusses transformational and instructional leadership styles. Therefore, this study aims to explain the use of digital leadership to improve the teaching and learning process because teachers' leadership style is important as it affects students' achievement. The concept of the Quadruple Helix Model based on innovation in digital leadership specifically in digital and technology will also be discussed in this article to enhance the teaching and learning process. The Quadruple Helix Model emphasizes the relevance of the engagement of the government, university, industry, and society in research and innovation. The results of this study are anticipated to be valuable in the expansion of already-existing information and in the development of a new method and strategy to enhance teaching and learning via digital leadership. In addition, it is anticipated that the Quadruple Helix Model will be able to generate suggestions for ways to enhance and guarantee that Malaysia's educational system ranks among the best in the world. Digital leadership will be the predicted as a dominant leadership approach used globally in the educational sector in another ten years.
