| Abstract: |
Ideas of digital transformation in education raises expectations and hopes for a future school. Far away from more widespread, hegemonic educational policy ideas of a fairer and more efficient digital school, the proposed presentation focuses on a critical analysis of digitization in education. The focus of the talk is on actors working in schools and how they situationally construct the value of digital tools in the context of their everyday life practice and how they justify their constructed realities. The results show how various references of actors lead to partly paradoxical practical consequences in the use of digital media in school lessons, which clearly stand out from the hegemonic educational policy discourse.
