At two previous conferences of Working Group 3. 7, the evaluation
of the implementation of computerised school information systems
(SISs) in Hong Kong and The Netherlands were presented. Here, we
will present the results of similar research in England. The
rationale for these studies was to fill the gap in our knowledge on
this important type of computer use in schools, and, by that, to
gain insight into the factors that prove to promote successful SIS
implementation. In England SIMS (School Information Management
System) has the largest market share of computerised school
administration systems. SIMS is a modular but integrated system in
that once entered, data is available between modules. Briefly, SIMS
consists of about twenty modules that support the work of clerical
staff and school managers and teachers (for details see Wild &
Walker 2001). 2. RESEARCH QUESTIONS AND RESEARCH FRAMEWORK The
following questions were addressed: - The extent of, and ways in
which SIMS was used in schools; - The user opinion on the quality
of SIMS; The nature and effects of the implementation process, and
the characteristics of the schools into which SIMS was introduced;
- Factors affecting the degree of SIMS use. The variables relating
to the above issues that were investigated in this study fell into
five distinct categories according to Visscher's model (see Figure
1), i. e., features of SIMS use, the implementation process, school
organisation, and the intendedlunintended effects. The study
assumed possible interrelationships between all these variable
groups."
