Abstract

Abstract: The paper presents selected findings from the German follow-up study (2006-2007) of the IEA-Study Second Information Technology in Education Study, Module 2 (SITES-M2), funded by the German Research Foundation. It is a qualitative and quantitative study based on eleven case studies and was conducted five years after the data collection in SITES-M2 (1999-2002). It identifies supportive and obstructive conditions for intra-school teacher cooperation. One of the main results is a conceptual anchoring of the cooperation. The findings show that the cooperation has to be supported on all levels of the school to become operational, such as the context-, input- and process level. Furthermore, a scale-indicator to measure ICT-related teacher cooperation has been developed.
