Abstract

The adoption of digital management in educational settings, specifically at Beijing Normal University (BNU), reflects the ongoing transformation of academic environments through technology. This study explores the comprehensive impact of digital management practices on school improvement. Specifically, the study aims to investigate the influence of six dimensions of digital management, including school visions, school leadership, pedagogical practices, teaching community practices, school-level knowledge practices, and digital resources, on school improvement at Beijing Normal University. Employing a quantitative research methodology, this study utilizes correlation and regression analyses to assess the impact of digital management practices on school improvement. Data were collected via structured surveys from a sample of 351 teachers at BNU. The findings indicate significant positive correlations and effects across all digital management dimensions on school improvement, with school-level knowledge practices and pedagogical practices showing higher substantial influence. This study contributes to the understanding of digital management’s pivotal role in enhancing educational quality and administrative efficiency in higher education settings. It offers a validated framework for other institutions aiming to leverage technology for comprehensive school improvement
