SAHe - School policy ideas of the Alternative for Germany at federal and state level: Themes, strategies and justifications for dealing with heterogeneity (Prof. Dr. Rita Nikolai, Line Saur M.A., Moritz Gawert M.A.)

?

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has been represented in the German Bundestag since the 2017 federal elections and currently (as of July 2024) in 14 of 16 state parliaments. Its parliamentary presence means that its ideas and concepts are increasingly having a real political impact. The topic of school policy is seen as a “resonance chamber of right-wing ideologies” (R?del 2020, 136), which is “increasingly a field of action for the AfD” (Hafeneger 2018, 4), which “will use its parliamentary presence to change the political culture and shift political fields of action” (ibid.). At the same time, schools and other educational institutions are now more than ever faced with the question of how to deal with the increasing heterogeneity of learners in a meaningful way. Politicians are called upon to come up with solutions. The project examines the school policy proposals of the AfD party at federal and state level with regard to the following questions:

?

  1. On which school policy issues related to its understanding of education and school organization does the AfD express itself and what position does it take?
  2. What school policy ideas does the AfD articulate on dealing with heterogeneity and how does the party justify its positions?
  3. How have the AfD's arguments changed or been maintained over time?

?

To this end, the party's election manifestos, parliamentary documents and social media posts will be analyzed. This is done using the categories shown in Figure 1:

Public School Development

Public school development and public school financing policies in international comparison (Prof. Dr. Rita Nikolai, Dr. Yusuf ?zdemir)

In international comparison, private school attendance is expanding. The proportion of children and young people attending public schools has increased significantly over the last three decades. An expansion can be seen above all in developing and emerging countries. However, a development of the private school sector can also be observed in many OECD countries.

This project examines the development of the public school sector in selected countries and explores the causes of the different effects on the regulation and financing of public schools. The various development paths of public school developments in international comparison are examined based on analyses of secondary literature, document analyses, and expert interviews. Expert interviews are conducted with education policy actors (including political parties, associations, representatives of churches and religious communities, and ministries).

Communal education policy

On the governance of regional inequalities in educational opportunities: school infrastructure in rural and urban areas. (Prof. Dr. Rita Nikolai)

How do demographic conditions, especially population and birth trends, affect school network planning? This project focuses on the region as a dimension for educational processes. The gap in higher academic attainment rates has narrowed considerably in the European Member States over the decades. Still, the regional extent has regained relevance in explaining differences in educational attainment. The project aims to examine the planning and decision-making processes for school network development at the local level and their impact on educational inequalities using selected rural regions in Germany. The transformation processes at the regional level and their causes will be examined based on selected municipalities in two federal states about the following questions: How has the school infrastructure changed from 2000 until today? What role did political, institutional, and socio-economic factors play in the changes in school infrastructure? What influence did the respective actor constellations and strategies have? What scope for design and action did school policy actors use at the municipal level? Why did regions with similar challenges (e.g., decline in pupil numbers) adopt different solutions (e.g., establishing an integrated school form)? Why did the private school sector expand in some regions and not in others? The changes in school provision since the 2000s are traced using data from the official statistics of selected federal states. In selected municipalities, the causes of changes in school infrastructure since the 2000s are also analyzed with the help of document analyses and expert interviews with school policy actors (from political parties, associations, municipal school administration, and ministries).

Disstertations

Doctoral project: Pedagogical Critique in the Context of Extreme Right Transformation Processes - The Revitalization of Critical Theory for Pedagogical Analyses as a Model of Triangulating Critique (Moritz Gawert M.A.)

In recent years, pedagogy as a scientific discipline and practice has increasingly faced the challenge of dealing with the influence of extreme right-wing actors on different fields (e.g. school policy or areas of social work). Particularly in the academic context, the analysis of these influences raises the question of the importance of a critical approach to research data and the (normative) positioning of academics as social actors. The dissertation aims to discuss these questions by developing a concept of a contemporary re-actualization of pedagogical critique in the context of extreme right-wing positions based on critical theory and testing it on empirical material. In doing so, she would also like to make a contribution to the revitalization of critical theory for pedagogical analyses.
