Original Kurzfassung:
In this presentation we show the current accompanying research within the framework of ÖKOLOG which focuses on all-day schools. Traditionally, school lessons in Austria are mainly held in the morning. In recent years, all-day schools have gained in importance, not least for social reasons (e.g. parents working). In principle, all-day schools spread school life over the whole day (usually from 8:00 to 17:00) and offer lunch. The structuring of lessons and extracurricular activities at the schools is additive or integrative. About 20% of ECOLOG schools are all-day schools in one form or another. In four case studies at selected ÖKOLOG schools, the extent to which a whole-day organisation of school life can support ESD in the context of ECOLOG is investigated. The research is also part of a current international Erasmus+ Project ?SustainAll? (https://sustainall.eu/en/). The case studies on good practice examples aim to answer the following main research questions: How are Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) projects and initiatives integrated in the all-day schools? What are the characteristics or factors that contribute for an ESD project or initiative to be a good practice example within ÖKOLOG?
