Subproject 4
Occupational field analysis in personal departments to strengthen the dual practical relevance
This sub-project pursues the overarching goal of establishing a closer link between theory and practice in both vocational training and teacher education.
Further information on the background, objectives and methods of the sub-project can be found on the official website of the ZLSB sub-project.
Collection of professional action situations
The professional action situations collected here are the result of student work and represent an editorially revised selection.
As part of a research-oriented seminar, students of the vocational Department of Social Pedagogy carried out occupational field analyses by interviewing or observing educators in various fields of work. Based on the empirical material, the students then formulated professional action situations with the aim of staying as close as possible to the empirical material. As a result, these can be direct interview excerpts that have hardly been revised or more heavily revised descriptions.
The individual professional situations show a wide range in terms of their formal structure. The situations are presented from the different narrative perspectives of trainees or educators. In some cases, they are introduced with a description of the facility and end largely open-ended.
The professional action situations can be used for the development of learning situations. The assignment to a learning field is to be understood as a suggestion. A vocational action situation can sometimes be used for teaching in different learning fields. The situations represent an excerpt of the professional practice of educators, which can give rise to reflection in the classroom (for more details, see Hauswald/Marx/Liebig, 2023*). The collection of professional action situations is therefore aimed at teachers and student teachers for social pedagogical training and further education and is freely accessible to all interested persons.
The professional field analyses will continue to be part of the course even after the end of the project funded as part of the teacher training quality offensive. The aim is to gradually add further professional situations to the collection and thus also further fields of work for educators.
