GruKisch research project

Primary schools and their stakeholders in child protection (GruKisch)

Qualitative secondary analysis to determine the starting point for improving the integration of primary schools in Lower Saxony

The legal provisions of the Federal Child Protection Act (Sections 3 and 4 of the KKG) and the KMK’s recommendations on protection strategies require schools to establish learning processes for intra- and inter-organisational co-operation in child protection. Academic discourse emphasises the key role of teacher training in the necessary expansion of knowledge transfer as the basis for schools’ participation in local child protection strategies.

GruKisch examines the organisational complexity and pedagogical practices of existing cooperative relationships, which are passed on as practical models through the school’s contribution to the first phase of teacher training in the training programme for students aiming to become primary school teachers.

The findings of this evaluative content-analytical research project, set against the background of the body of knowledge from Seasons I and II of the podcast, will lead to recommendations for primary school development in Lower Saxony, school social work and the curricular frameworks for initial and continuing professional development in teacher training.
