CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FULLTIME-SCHOOL IN GERMANY: AN ANALYTICAL VIEW

ABSTRACT A school reform has been marking the German educational scenery in the last decade. There was a significant increase in the number of schools offering fulltime education. Their implementation requires a reorganization of schools. The aim is, through a review of the German scientific literature, to systematize characteristics of fulltime-schools, based on the quality model for fulltime-schools by Holtappels, which considers organizational and pedagogical dimensions of an organizational development of the fulltime school. Based on this, a reference Chart of quality for fulltime schools was developed, structuring characteristics, criteria and indicators evidenced by educational theories and empirical evidences.
