Implementation of Digital Media as a Challenge for School Improvement

Despite many projects implementing digital media in schools since the 1990s, the use of digital media for teaching and learning in Germany is still less common than in other countries. This article presents the current status of the implementation of digital media on the basis of a theoretical framework. The model differentiates input, process and output variables according to models of school development and school effectiveness research. Finally, some conclusions for future implementation projects and connected research are drawn, taking into account international implementation projects and experiences.
