Abstract

Abstract The virtual school board (VSB) offers teachers a browser-based platform to support a multilevel, evidence-based educational plan. The present study examines teachers’ use of the VSB. Based on technology acceptance model (TAM), 17 teachers from nine schools were interviewed about their use of the VSB. The evaluation was based on qualitative content analysis (QCA). For seven categories the intercoder reliabilities were acceptable. After 24 months, the users said that they used the VSB for support planning, diagnostics, discussions with parents and other documentation. They rated the overview gained and the interdisciplinary exchange as beneficial. However, a lack of technical expertise within the staff, the technical equipment and the user interface hindered teachers, such that almost a fifth never used the software completely. The challenges are complex. Needless to say, missing, little or old technical hardware is likely to decrease the usage of a digital tool; the implementation also faces the challenges of recontextualisation, and additionally faces the resource-labelling dilemma. Therefore, these challenges must be dealt with in the mutual interaction between school practice, educational research and professional information and communication technology (ICT) development.

使用合作式数字教育计划的挑战与机遇。实施评价
虚拟学校董事会(VSB)为教师提供了一个基于浏览器的平台,以支持多层次的循证教育计划。本研究考察了教师对VSB的使用情况。基于技术接受模型(TAM),对来自9所学校的17名教师进行了关于VSB使用情况的访谈。评价方法为定性含量分析(QCA)。对于7个类别,互码器的可靠性是可以接受的。24个月后,用户说他们使用VSB来支持计划、诊断、与父母讨论和其他文档。他们认为获得的概述和跨学科的交流是有益的。然而,工作人员缺乏技术专长,技术设备和用户界面阻碍了教师,因此几乎五分之一的教师从未完全使用过该软件。挑战是复杂的。不用说,缺少、少或旧的技术硬件可能会减少数字工具的使用;实施还面临着重新背景化的挑战,另外还面临着资源标签困境。因此,必须在学校实践、教育研究和专业信息通信技术(ICT)发展的相互作用中应对这些挑战。
