Abstract
In Austria, the Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research (BMBWF) developed the 8-Point Plan for Digital Education in June 2020, a catalogue of measures aimed at implementing digitally supported teaching and learning and implementing innovative teaching and learning formats at all school locations. The steps include standardization of learning platforms, resources, and communication processes, as well as teacher training and initiatives that provide the necessary basic infrastructure and end devices. Often, however, the true success of educational interventions relies on the commitment of those who are expected to implement the plan, i.e., to make a contribution. Within the framework of a diversity study that focuses on individual, social, and structural differences and commonalities, this paper currently aims to contribute to understanding the complex reality of digitality in education from the pedagogical perspective. Based on the person-environment fit (P-E fit) theory, existing effects, i.e. results of the fit of needs and abilities (self-assessment with regard to existing competencies), as well as demands and supply (satisfaction regarding competencies) will be investigated.
