Projects

Democratisation as School Reform (DAS, in collaboration with Selma Haupt from RWTH Aachen University and Angela Bauer from the University of Regensburg)

The DAS research project focuses on government reform initiatives aimed at democratising the school system. Drawing on qualitative-reconstructive methods of school research, five areas of inquiry are examined:

  1. How, and on the basis of which discursive context, does the impetus to initiate the reform arise, and which actors are involved in this process?
  2. What reform content can be identified in various reform projects?
  3. Which strategies are selected, and for what reasons, in the process of implementing the reform?
  4. How is the impetus for reform received by the schools concerned during the implementation phase, and to what extent does it (or does it not) become part of their school life and culture?
  5. How, and what shifts, can be identified in the tension between institutionalised school pedagogy and the demands of democracy in late modernity?

Sociocratic processes in the classroom and at school: An ethnographic study (SoziUS, in collaboration with Juliana Gras from the University of Weingarten)

This research project is dedicated to an exploratory investigation of sociocratic decision-making and organisational processes in a school that has been awarded the German School Prize’s thematic prize for democracy education. The aim is to develop a deeper understanding of how sociocratic approaches are applied in a school context and what potential and/or challenges may arise from this. The study is based on a reconstructive-ethnographic design that combines observations and (expert) interviews with lecturers and educational practitioners to capture the lived practice and structures of sociocratic processes in schools and to relate these to the discursive framework of sociocracy. The project aims to gain fundamental knowledge about decision-making and organisational processes in schools, using the example of sociocracy in schools and the classroom within the context of social inclusion.

Negotiations of School Quality (ASQ, in collaboration with Pia Grimpo, Anna Moldenhauer and Matthias Olk, University of Bremen)

The research project‘Negotiations of School Quality (ASQ)’ is monitoring the trial of Bremen’s ‘Orientation Framework for School Quality’ over a period of one year. From a practice-theoretical perspective, the project focuses on the translations of an educational policy-driven steering instrument that is being piloted in a participatory process. The aim of the accompanying research project is to reconstruct how ‘school quality’ is interpreted and authorised by those involved. To this end, team discussions relating to school development, held in various constellations at different schools in Bremen participating in the pilot phase, are observed, audio-recorded and interpreted using address analysis. In addition, group discussions with teachers regarding their experiences of working with the ‘School Quality’ orientation framework will be analysed.

Dissertation project on the professionalisation of teachers in school development within the PRIMUS school trial. [completed, summa cum laude]

The work, which is currently being published, addresses the issue of the limited potential for technological application in school development on the one hand (Maag Merki 2021) and the need for studies at the interface between professional and school development research on the other (van Ackeren et al. 2021). Based on a socio-theoretical approach using the interpretative pattern approach (Bögelein & Vetter 2019) and a subject-theoretical approach drawing on structural theory and school culture theory (Helsper 2002; Kramer et al. 2015), a qualitative analytical framework is devised in conjunction with grounded theory methodology (Breuer et al. 2019). A total of 24 semi-structured interviews were analysed. Empirically, three key issues and associated interpretative patterns among teachers in the PRIMUS school trial are identified for each of the two fields of action: pedagogical practice and school development. Grounded Theory is then interpreted in relation to the two phenomena of uncertainty and convergence and discussed in the light of the current state of research. Uncertainty is conceptualised in terms of three dimensions – overlap, transgression and relation – and it is argued that school development leads to an increase in uncertainty compared with regular pedagogical practice. Convergence emerges as the relationship between the two fields of action – pedagogical practice and school development – the interpretative frameworks regarding the school pilot programme, and the interpretative frameworks relating to a specific problem. At its core, the thesis thus highlights the potential for addressing uncertainty within the teaching community.

The doctoral project forms part of the accompanying research for the PRIMUS school pilot scheme.

Study on Graduates of Independent Alternative Schools (AbFAt; in collaboration with Ingrid Bähr, University of Hamburg)

The starting point for the study is the question, raised both within and outside the field of independent alternative schools, of whether and how their former pupils cope in ‘real life’ after leaving school. The AbFAt study examines, from a recognition-theoretical and qualitative-reconstructive perspective, how graduatesof independentalternative schoolsinterpret their school years in retrospect, as well as, on a descriptive-exemplary level, the biographical paths they subsequently take. Within the framework of loosely standardised interviews, former pupils of a Free Alternative School are interviewed and the data analysed using grounded theory methodology. Initial findings point, on the one hand, to the high significance that their time at the Free Alternative School holds in the biographical narratives of its pupils. On the other hand, the former pupils also demonstrate a strong sense of identification with the school. However, they also report having taken on an unusually high level of responsibility for the school as an institution during their time there, as well as highlighting the importance of trust in the arrangements for open-ended teaching.
