Introducing New Technological Tools into the Work of Dual-Training Teachers Through a Co-design Project
摘要
In the context of digital transition and workforce shortages in education, teachers seek innovative and easy-to-use tools to optimize their work. This paper focuses on an action-research study aiming at co-designing digital tools with teachers from a dual training program. These tools should help teachers better manage the supervision of apprentices during traineeships. The study highlights the importance of collaboration with school staff to design useful and safe work tools. The article describes the co-design process and the obstacles encountered in the implementation, primarily categorized into digital competencies, workload, and organizational support. These challenges hinder the willingness to innovate despite participants recognizing the benefits of the new tools. The discussion offers insights into the organizational conditions necessary for successful and healthy digital innovation in education. The findings underscore the need for dedicated time for tool familiarization, tailored training and adequate IT resources to enhance the effective use of digital tools in educational settings.
