Abstract :This article was produced from a qualitative study conducted to gather the opinions of school administrators and teachers about "Digital content and skill-assisted transformation targets in learning processes", which is one of the objectives of MEB 2023 Education Vision. Seven school administrators, three assistant managers and 10 teachers were asked to answer the following questions: 1. What is the opinion of school administrators and teachers about digital content and skill-assisted transformation targets in learning processes? 2. What is the opinion of school teachers and teachers about their readiness for digital leadership? 3. What do school administrators and teachers think about the applicability of these goals in their schools? The study shows that the participants agreed that digitalization leads to easy access to information, personal development, and equal opportunities in education, and that the use of digital materials facilitates learning. However, the study also revealed a lack of technological infrastructure in existing schools, that school leaders lack technology leadership, and that time constraints and parents' indifference were seen as obstacles in reaching the targets. This study will reflect the trainings and experiences of school administrators and teachers in creating digital education and training culture, and by offering practical suggestions to all educators to support their development, it can be a source for research topics to achieve these goals.
