Abstract

This paper investigates how citizens perceive and evaluate the digitalization of education. Drawing on original survey data from six OECD countries (Germany, Japan, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the US), the study addresses the overarching question: Does public opinion support or inhibit the digital transformation of education? The analysis focuses on three core aspects in this regard—perceptions of state performance, demand for digital device use in schools, and concerns about data governance. Findings reveal cautious but conditional public support: while many endorse digitalization, significant concerns persist about data privacy, especially regarding private tech companies. Support varies systematically by socio‐economic status, age, household composition as well as in line with general dispositions and attitudes towards global technology companies. The paper also identifies a significant degree of cross‐country variation, which, however, does not neatly map onto existing welfare state regimes.
谁支持教育数字化?来自六个经合组织国家的新调查证据
本文调查了公民如何看待和评价教育数字化。根据来自六个经合组织国家(德国、日本、波兰、西班牙、瑞典和美国)的原始调查数据,该研究解决了一个首要问题:公众舆论是支持还是阻碍教育的数字化转型?该分析侧重于这方面的三个核心方面——对国家绩效的看法、对学校使用数字设备的需求以及对数据治理的担忧。调查结果显示了谨慎但有条件的公众支持:尽管许多人支持数字化,但对数据隐私的严重担忧仍然存在,尤其是对私营科技公司。支持因社会经济地位、年龄、家庭组成以及对全球科技公司的一般倾向和态度而系统性地变化。本文还确定了很大程度的跨国差异,然而,这并没有整齐地映射到现有的福利国家制度。

期刊介绍: Regulation & Governance serves as the leading platform for the study of regulation and governance by political scientists, lawyers, sociologists, historians, criminologists, psychologists, anthropologists, economists and others. Research on regulation and governance, once fragmented across various disciplines and subject areas, has emerged at the cutting edge of paradigmatic change in the social sciences. Through the peer-reviewed journal Regulation & Governance, we seek to advance discussions between various disciplines about regulation and governance, promote the development of new theoretical and empirical understanding, and serve the growing needs of practitioners for a useful academic reference.
