Teaching research project "Discourse and Subject in the Context of Educational Assistance in Schools"
In the context of the master's seminar, we ask how the professional discourse of the so-called pedagogy of behavioral disorders/educational assistance in schools is structured. In particular, we analyze the construction and the change of interpretative patterns within this professional discourse and focus in the sense of a sociological discourse analysis sensu Keller, which subject positions are structured for students, children, adolescents, parents and professionals. The data corpus is formed by handbooks and action guidelines from the last 90 years. In addition, we conduct narrative-oriented interviews with students and parents who have come into contact with formats of school-based educational support in order to understand whether and how they relate to the subject positions of the professional discourse, adopt them or position themselves in a resistant way.
