摘要：Kindergarten is a crucial stage in early childhood education. Principals and teachers should be highly competent and aware of children educational needs. Principals represent the model for driving the rest of the workforce in their institutions. The aim of this study was to assess the training needs of kindergarten principals in light of digital age requirements from their own perspective. The study sample consisted of (90) kindergarten principals in the district of Jerash, Jordan. A questionnaire was used to collect data, which addressed needs in three domains pertaining to the use of technology. Statistical analysis revealed that principals estimates of their training needs was overall moderate, with a slightly higher needs pertaining to ICT employment in kindergarten and educational process management. Furthermore, the findings showed that there were no significant statistical differences between respondent estimates pertaining to their academic qualifications, years of experience, or to kindergarten's ownership.
