Description

Digital transformation affects the school as a whole organization and poses particular challenges in staff development. In order to enable school staff to actively shape digital transformation, several elements are required: shared attitudes within the team, supportive school leadership, a common vision, and targeted communication.

So far, a systematic investigation of these factors has been lacking – and this is where the EnablEd project comes in. Using qualitative methods, it explores which competencies and attitudes foster a “culture of digitality” and how different groups of school actors can contribute to it.
