Learning in a State of Emergency - Risks and Opportunities

School teaching could intensify existing inequalities, especially in school systems like the Austrian one, in which education is strongly "inherited". On the other hand, the disruption of domestic and school routines and expectations can also create new scope for self-organized learning. To test the hypotheses, around 50 teachers, approx. 480 pupils of different ages and their parents at approx. Six Viennese schools in the period April-May or June 2020 are interviewed 3-4 times every two weeks. The project provides in-depth insights into the social restrictions, prerequisites for success and the possibilities of digital and digitally supported learning, which can be used to develop and establish school, extracurricular or educational policy innovations that complement digital technology.
