He following diploma thesis analyses the application of educational software in public schools in Thuringia from the perspective of the teacher. The thesis is based on the theoretical background of the Uses and Gratifications Approach, the Theory of Subjective Selection of Quality Choices as well as the Rational Choice Theory. Subject of the analysis is the effect of user's motives, quality expectations and subjective and objective restrictions on the application of educational software. The analysis is based on an empirical study from May 2009 covering multiple school types in the school district of Rudolstadt (n=167). The analysis shows that the application is significantly influenced by the habitualization, school types and a valid structure of the lesson. Teachers expect from the software to provide a high level of information and allow a high degree of influence by the pupil; further expectations vary in line with different user groups. Instead of learning incentives, the analysis shows that transfer of knowledge is the motive for the application of educational software. The analyzed factors provide a general overview of user's motives, quality expectations and restrictions, but further research is necessary.
