Media-related Teacher Cooperation as a School Quality Feature in the Digital World (MeLe)

The research project ´MeLe´ (duration: 11/2018-10/2021) investigated media-related cooperation as a central condition for the success of digitalisation processes in the education sector. On the other hand, conditions of success and failure for media-related teacher cooperation itself were analysed. In addition, the findings on media-related cooperation between teachers can subsequently be used to analyse the multi-professional cooperation of other school stakeholders. For example, the criteria-oriented development of the instrument developed can be adapted to record media-related cooperation between teachers and other educational staff or to record cooperation between teachers at different schools. In addition, the instrument developed as part of the project for recording media-related teacher cooperation can be used for internal self-evaluation by schools in order to obtain concrete indications of the successful implementation of digital media at the level of the individual school. The project was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as part of the Empirical Educational Research framework programme in the guideline for funding research on ´Digitalisierung im Bildungsbereich - Grundsatzfragen und Gelingensbedingungen“ and is part of the Digitalisation in the education sector meta-project.<br>Gender; age (grouped); teaching subjects; type of school; size of teaching staff (grouped); job scope; team teaching; media use; cooperation in school contexts; media use for cooperation in school context; frequency of media use; cooperation: Frequency, type/form, potentials and challenges, own cooperation competence; own media competence; attitude towards cooperation in the age of digitalisation; quality of equipment; didactic and technical support from shool; digital media in training/further education; participation in training/further education; school management actions: Use/promotion of digital media; cooperation of the teaching staff; conceptual anchoring of personnel development and further training planning for cooperation skills, media skills, cooperation culture with regard to digitalisation, evaluation of the effectiveness of cooperation for schools, for themselves personally and for pupils.
