Open Educational Resources (OER) in Deutschland: Teil eines Open Science Kulturwandels
摘要
This paper examines OER as part of the open science movement, tracing its development in Germany through a cultural change lens. Applying Nosek’s Strategy for Culture Change framework, we analyse how OER implementation requires coordinated development across multiple dimensions. Rather than following a linear progression, Germany’s OER journey reveals a complex choreography where these elements evolved consecutively through three phases. Each phase demonstrates the interplay between the ideals of open education, organizational change initiatives, and regulatory frameworks within Germany’s decentralized education system. While significant progress has been made toward institutionalization, practical implementation challenges persist. We argue that artificial intelligence represents a pivotal advancement by specifically addressing usability barriers—simplifying the use of OER for educators. However, AI integration introduces new considerations that must be addressed within existing OER frameworks. The paper illustrates, how cultural change in educational practices requires alignment between philosophical principles, practical tools, and policy support.
