Rate the state of digital development in schools

The country and the Institute for Education Analysis want to drive the digitization of schools ahead. Therefore, a procedure for recording digital development in schools is tested. The tool should support schools in their digital development by making strengths and development fields visible.

BUND and countries have invested massively in the past two years Investments in digital equipment in schools -also because the corona-pandemie has triggered an enormous digitization boost. For this, the schools, teachers, school management and students deserve great thanks and respect. They have all campaigned for the schools in the country to quickly switch to digital formats and the lessons became more digital. Now it is important to keep the level of digitally supported education and to develop it in terms of quality.

State Secretary for Education Sandra> Sandra> Boßer divided on May 24, 2022 with the Institute for Education Analysis Baden-Württemberg (ibbw) Rel = "NOFOLLOW NOOPENER" TARGET = "_ Blank" href = "https://ibbw-bw.de/ ,lde/startsite/systemanalysen/erprobungsprojekt+Tool+Digitale+schule" Class = "Link-External"> "Tools Digital School" . "For Digitization in school , a good inventory analysis is necessary-based on the individual school and on the whole State, "she says and adds:" The Institute for Education Analysis Baden-Württemberg has developed a digital tool with which schools can make a comprehensive assessment of your own situation and can also compare yourself with national references in the future. Schools can thus evaluate internally how far they have progressed in digitization and are derived from them for digital school development. Digital development level of schools. “

make potential visible and open up

It's about the potential of digitality in class, for example in communication with students and parents or in collaboration with colleagues. "We want to make potential visible and open up on site so that in the end both our children and young people and our teachers benefit from digital development," says Boser. "The tool," said IBBW director Dr. Günter Klein, "should support schools in their digital development by making digital strengths and digital development fields visible." Four development areas are usually used to assess the digitization degree of a school: pedagogical development, technical development, personnel development and organizational development. With the “digital school tool”, the level of development with regard to the culprit using web -based survey instruments is now to be recorded based on these areas. School administrations, teachers, students and parents should be included.

Around 200 interested schools took part in the information event and found out about a test run with the "digital school tool". This is important to ensure that the instruments are carefully tested for their practical suitability before they are made available to all schools. With scientifically sound questionnaires, the participating schools can have their digital school and teaching development evaluated in a survey portal. The results of the surveys are intended to help the individual school to identify school -specific development needs in order to derive tailored and targeted measures for further, pedagogically oriented digitization.

from data should be acted

"The tool is designed in such a way that it goes into the different framework conditions of schools," says IBBW director Klein and adds: "This makes it suitable for schools that are still at the beginning of their digitization, as well as for schools that are already relatively well developed."

Ministry of Culture and IBBW agree that it should not only be about determining the level of development, but more than data and diagnosis. For this reason, concrete support offers for the targeted further development of digitization are made available clearly so that "data also becomes deeds", as State Secretary Boser says. For example, schools have access to the offers of Media Center Network to disposal. "We take the digitization of our schools very seriously, want to make them sustainable and support them in a variety of ways," says Boser.

As soon as the approval of the main staff council and a corresponding decision of the overall teacher conference of the respective school, this can be changed by 24.06.2022 . Then the IBBW makes a selection and informs the schools about the decision.
