Wie Innovation im Bildungssystem gelingen kann

Abstract

Digitization, accelerated by the funding initiative for a digital networking infrastructure for education, is just one of the many challenges currently facing the school system and which it can only successfully meet through renewal, i.e., through appropriate innovations. This article is a plea for adopting an organizational sociological perspective in order to systematically and sustainably increase the capacity for innovation in the education system (here with a special focus on schools). The starting point of our reflections is that learning takes place in the direct interaction between learners and teachers and between learners. Therefore, the school setting - especially from a political perspective - must be designed in such a way that the best possible interaction can take place in the respective school organization. To this end, this position paper provides an analysis and derives recommendations for future educational policy action.
