Abstract:School Information System, System Utilisation, School ManagementAlthough the implementation and use of computerised information systems is quite common in developed countries, they are mainly limited to clerical types of support. The utilisation of the potential of these systems by school management is far below what seems possible. In this study, a group of twelve schools, including good and bad practice schools, has been investigated to obtain a more detailed picture of how school managers work with these information systems and which factors seem to promote managerial system usage. System use proves to vary considerably between schools, and five factors seem to have a promoting influence in the good practice schools. Recommendations have been formulated on the basis of the results to promote the managerial use of school information systems.
