the principals and principals of North Batinah schools came at an average level with
an average of (2.84) and a standard deviation of (0.64). The degree of their use of
modern techniques was very high with an average of (4.39) and a standard deviation
of (0.44). And the absence of statistically significant differences at the level of
significance (0.05) depending on the gender variable on the level of work pressures
of the principals according to experience in the first axis: the type of administrative
work for principals who have more than 10 year. The results of the study showed
that there were statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) on the degree
of use of modern technologies among the principals according to the sex variable.
The differences were in favor of females. In addition, there was no statistically
significant correlation between work pressures and the use of modern technologies
