Abstract
This study examines the use of Google Docs for digital observation reports in an accompanying seminar for school internships in the field of German as a Foreign Language. Whereas previously the weekly reports could only be read by the supervising university lecturer, the digital format allowed the entire internship group to access them: the reports could now be read digitally and commented on via an integrated function. The aim was to support students' reflection processes and promote collegial exchange through peer feedback. To assess the acceptance of this digital approach, an online questionnaire was distributed and completed by 21 students participating at the end of their internship semester. The questionnaire is based on five central categories of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and specially focuses on the instructional phases of writing, reading, and commenting. The results of the data analysis clearly show that the students accepted the use of digital observation reports via Google Docs and showed high approval ratings in all TAM categories.
