Contribution
Like many countries, Switzerland is facing new educational demands due to a rapidly evolving society along with continuous immigration. Ensuring equal educational opportunities for all is one challenge in coping with these demands. Schools, often thought of as the main education institutions, cannot accomplish this all by itself. Networked systems like the social and the school sector and networked education institutions are of vital importance when it comes to providing education and ensuring equal educational opportunities for all. To improve education networks in order to improve education offers is the aim of the project Education Landscapes Switzerland, a multi-year national initiative supported by the Jacobs Foundation in cooperation with three cantons and nine communities. They want to encourage the cooperation of formal and non-formal players in the regional systems with the aim to ensure access to high-quality education for all that goes beyond the school setting. This initiative, which began in 2013, is comprised of nine projects, also referred to as "educational landscapes" that all try to systematically link formal and non-formal education, each in their unique way and context.
The aim of this five-year study (2013-2018) is to ascertain how these projects function and evolve as well as to assess their possible impact on the educational contexts they are located in. The theoretical framework is based on Helmut Fend’s and Andreas Helmke's opportunity-use model which characterizes aspects between teaching and learning in a classroom (for a presentation of the model in English, see Zierer & Seel, 2012, S. 16f). This model was expanded to account for learning and teaching beyond the classroom and to allow for a more detailed analysis of the context of formal and non-formal educational settings. This contribution presents the findings from the first year of research.
