  5. Using the questionnaire • Several project in primary education • One project in secondary and vocational education conditions for networked learning

  6. Primary education • BMS - union of catholic schools in Friesland (a nothern province). Project was aimed at stimulating networked learning between the different schools of the union. • MosaLira - union of schools within the city of Maastricht. The project aimed to stimulate networked learning around specific themes • SkoZok – union of schools within a region, south of Eindhoven. A group of four schools within this union has been active with networked learning for over a year at the time of distribution of the questionnaire conditions for networked learning

  7. Secondary and vocational education • VM2 – a national project. Several combinations of school for secondary education (pre-vocational) and vocational education. A network of these different combinations, mainly by regular face to face meetings conditions for networked learning

  8. Three factor structure • Collegiality (α= .952) Trust and sharing between colleagues, exchanging ideas, skills, insights • Network value (α=.954) Active participating in network (sharing and gathering information) • Organisational support (α= .929) Acknowledgement of networked learning as professional development conditions for networked learning

  10. SkoZOk. Differences between schools that participated in the project and schools that had not. conditions for networked learning

  11. Conclusions • The questionnaire has proven to be reliable in measuring the three dimensions. • Currently the questionnaire is distributed among the different projects again. • This questionnaire is only focused on organisations, to give ideas for approaching the stimulation of networked learning. Of course, there are much more factors that are of influence on the chances to successfully implement networked learning. • What more? conditions for networked learning
