The concept of open educational resources (OER) is becoming increasingly prominent in education. However, research circles around defining OER, content and forms of OER, technological features of OER, and the importance of the issue or lack thereof. Vital aspects such as the notion of the adoption of OER by educational practitioners remain underdeveloped. In order to shed light on the question of how to adopt OER in education, the article presents findings of a meta-study which critically reviewed 25 state-funded OER projects located in Germany. All projects aimed to anchor OER across educational areas, such as school, higher, continuing, and vocational education. The meta-analysis disclosed a mixed bag of results. Although interest and willingness to deal with OER can be confirmed, reservation is rooted in the complexity of the topic and especially the legal concerns. However, the findings demonstrate that OER can by no means be ignored in the context of teaching and learning in a digital world. Integrating OER as an aspect of existing educational training should, therefore, be encouraged. Concerning future design recommendations, to conflate OER with other pressing issues and to simultaneously emphasise its added value explicitly is a promising approach. Moreover, establishing central contact points in educational institutions to accompany and monitor actors on their path to OER appears to be necessary. Notwithstanding the concrete measures, any strategy must operate persistently at both levels, institutional and practical, embracing all relevant stakeholders.

开放教育资源在教育中的采用与传播

开放式教育资源(OER)的概念在教育中变得越来越重要。但是,研究界围绕定义OER,OER的内容和形式,OER的技术特征以及问题的重要性或缺乏这一点。重要的方面,例如教育从业人员采用OER的概念,仍然不发达。为了阐明如何在教育中采用OER的问题,本文介绍了一项元研究的结果,该研究对位于德国的25个国家资助的OER项目进行了严格审查。所有旨在将OER锚定在教育领域(例如学校,高等教育,继续教育和职业教育)中的项目。荟萃分析显示结果参差不齐。尽管可以确定与OER合作的兴趣和意愿,保留意见源自该主题的复杂性,尤其是法律问题。但是,研究结果表明,在数字世界的教学中,绝不能忽略OER。因此,应鼓励将OER整合为现有教育培训的一个方面。关于未来的设计建议,将OER与其他紧迫的问题结合起来,同时明确强调其附加值是一种很有前途的方法。此外,似乎有必要在教育机构中建立中央联系点,以陪伴和监督行动者获得OER的途径。尽管采取了具体措施,但任何战略都必须在体制和实践两个层面上持续运作,并纳入所有相关利益攸关方。研究结果表明,在数字世界的教学中,OER绝不能被忽略。因此,应鼓励将OER整合为现有教育培训的一个方面。关于未来的设计建议,将OER与其他紧迫的问题结合起来,同时明确强调其附加值是一种很有前途的方法。此外,似乎有必要在教育机构中建立中央联系点,以陪伴和监督行动者获得OER的途径。尽管采取了具体措施,但任何战略都必须在体制和实践两个层面上持续运作,并纳入所有相关利益攸关方。研究结果表明,在数字世界的教学中,OER绝不能被忽略。因此,应鼓励将OER整合为现有教育培训的一个方面。关于未来的设计建议,将OER与其他紧迫的问题结合起来,同时明确强调其附加值是一种很有前途的方法。此外,似乎有必要在教育机构中建立中央联系点,以陪伴和监督行动者获得OER的途径。尽管采取了具体措施,但任何战略都必须在体制和实践两个层面上持续运作,并纳入所有相关利益攸关方。因此,应予以鼓励。关于未来的设计建议,将OER与其他紧迫的问题结合起来,同时明确强调其附加值是一种很有前途的方法。此外,似乎有必要在教育机构中建立中央联系点,以陪伴和监督行动者获得OER的途径。尽管采取了具体措施,但任何战略都必须在体制和实践两个层面上持续运作,并纳入所有相关利益攸关方。因此,应予以鼓励。关于未来的设计建议,将OER与其他紧迫的问题结合起来,同时明确强调其附加值是一种很有前途的方法。此外,似乎有必要在教育机构中建立中央联系点,以陪伴和监督行动者获得OER的途径。尽管采取了具体措施,但任何战略都必须在体制和实践两个层面上持续运作,并纳入所有相关利益攸关方。
