In today's increasingly data-driven world, the use of data has become a critical aspect of decision-making in all industries including education. School leaders are constantly faced with the challenge of effectively using data to make informed decisions and improve student outcomes. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the level of data use and challenges faced by school leaders. This quantitative study was conducted in the state of Selangor which involved 120 secondary school leaders as respondents. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 27 to obtain the mean and standard deviation data for descriptive analysis. Findings from this study indicate that school leaders show a high level of data usage. However, in their efforts to use data, they face challenges related to data accuracy, insufficient proficiency in handling data, teachers' attitudes and readiness toward data, as well as data availability problems. The outcome of this study can benefit school leaders in enhancing their utilization of data and confronting the challenges to enable effective decision making.

The purpose of this study is to get an initial understanding of the relationship between the principal's multidimensional leadership and teachers' acceptance of DELIMa. A quantitative approach with a survey study design was used in this study. Principal’s multidimensional leadership was measured using Leadership Orientation Survey and teachers’ acceptance of DELIMa was measured using User Acceptance and Use of Technology questionnaires. This study was conducted at a school in Port Klang with 30 respondents. Data was analyzed using SPSS. The analysis results showed that the principal practiced multidimensional leadership at a high level (M=4.10, SD=0.53). The symbolic dimension was at the highest mean and the human resource dimension was at the lowest mean. Meanwhile, teachers' acceptance of DELIMa was moderate (M= 3.34, SD=0.53) with expected performance at the highest mean and facility conditions at the lowest mean. Correlation analysis showed a significant and positive but weak relationship ((r=0.456, p<0.05) between the two variables. The Cronbach Alpha index for teachers' acceptance of DELIMa was .84 and the Principal's multidimensional leadership was 0.79. Thus, the instruments are suitable for use in the real study and this study provides a preliminary analysis of the relationship between the Principal's multidimensional leadership and teachers' acceptance of DELIMa. This study implies that teachers' acceptance of DELIMa can be increased by improving school technology facilities. Principals also need to wisely use various leadership styles in encouraging teachers to use the DELIMa learning platform more effectively.

A systematic review was conducted covering an extensive literature exploration of previous studies from 2013-2022 following the Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Reviews Item and Meta Analysis (PRISMA) approaches, which is deemed to be suitable for review analysis. Articles were chosen from Scopus based on a few criterias. The findings highlight many relevant insights in empirical and theoretical articles, revealing the evolution of leadership behaviour theories and characteristics practised. Leadership behaviour is associated with two leadership styles; transformational and transactional and with four main themes; task, relation, changes and ethical. Researchers concluded that principals in schools should have the knowledge on suitable behaviours and practises in achieving a conducive teaching and learning environment. There also exists demands for continuous studies on principal leadership behaviour as the changes the system is going through are continuous and intensive. The study gives better perception on principal leadership behaviour and school effectiveness. The findings would be helpful to policymakers and school principals in practising successful and fulfilling leadership.

The publication industry in the field of education is constantly growing and changing. Till now, the emergence of digital publications, including electronic books (e-books) became a norm among students and educators. The COVID-19 pandemic has opened up space for users to use digital textbooks that can be accessed through the DELIMa platform, Ministry of Education Malaysia (MoE). The importance of digital education in the current Industrial Revolution 4.0 is able to help increase preparedness through artificial intelligence, reality and practical exposure to the future generation of national leaders in various sectors and industries. Realizing the importance of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to society, the government has implemented two policies, namely the National Creative Industry Policy and the Malaysian Education Development Plan (2013-2025). Under this policy, players in the broadcasting and publishing industry in Malaysia are encouraged to develop the country's creative industries to increase the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The need to develop a standard digital textbook concept is appropriate so that teaching and learning (PdP) will be more effective and interactive to face this revolution. Through this awareness, MoE needs to take the initiative to help the delivery of teaching that uses current technology by producing digital textbooks. This study was conducted through in-depth interviews with several teachers to bring the direction of the organization towards the publication of interactive digital books. The results of the study found that printed textbooks are still relevant to use, but becomes more interesting if assisted with digital textbooks. This digital book will be fully implemented with the support of all parties to drive the success of the nation towards the global market.
