摘要:This paper treats open educational resources (OER), specifically in the context of
processes related to education policy. Of importance in this regard are the different
understandings, positions, perspectives and focal points of the participant actors from
the fields of educational research, practical education and education policy. Those
involved approach the politically virulent subject of OER from their respective technical
or career-specific perspectives and have one (more or less weighty) aspect of the OER
movement in mind, which is intended to gain admission to the education strategies
being constructed. In particular, two case studies are examined: first, the formulation
of Germany's education policy strategy, «Bildung in der digitalen Welt» [«Education in a
Digital World»], which was developed in 2016 by the Kultusministerkonferenz (KMK) [the
standing conference of education ministers of the federal states] with the participation of
professional associations; second, the curriculum formulated 2017 by the Österreichisches
Bundesministerium für Bildung (BMB) [Austrian Federal Ministry of Education] comprising
a «Binding Digital Competence Exercise» in schools. The paper examines the various
positions and retraces the final version on which all could agree and in which form OER is
finally anchored in education planning. After identifying the blind spots in the conceptual
anchoring of the idea of OER, the paper considers why attractive aspects, especially for
specific actors, remain underexposed and disregarded.
