In dem Beitrag wird eine Lehrkonzeption für eine digitale (lehramtsübergreifende) Fallarbeit vorgeschlagen. Diese umfasst zwei Sitzungen und wurde im digitalen Sommersemester 2020 zum einen an den Standorten Aachen und Hannover „lehramtsübergreifend“ mit Studierenden der Sonderpädagogik sowie des Lehramts an Gymnasien und Gesamtschulen bzw. des Lehramts an Berufskollegs, zum anderen am Standort Göttingen im gymnasialen Lehramt erprobt. Die Konzeption umfasst eine individuelle Auseinandersetzung mit kasuistischem Material sowie daran anschließend einen digitalen Austausch in Studierendengruppen mittels Videokonferenz. Auf Basis von qualitativ-empirischen Ergebnissen rückt das Phänomen „Rausgehen“ im Sinne einer leistungsbezogenen äußeren Differenzierung im Kontext des Förderschwerpunktes Lernen in den Fokus. Hierbei wird an ein Verständnis von Schule als Ort der (Re-)Produktion von Differenz angeschlossen. Der Schwerpunkt der Fallarbeit liegt auf Perspektiven von Schüler*innen. Hierbei geht es sowohl um das eigene Rausgehen als auch das Rausgehen anderer. Die Lehrkonzeption zielt darauf, den Studierenden die Reflexion von Differenzkonstruktionen im schulischen Kontext zu ermöglichen. In der Konzeption der Fallarbeit werden u.a. Strategien der Grounded Theory aufgegriffen, jedoch erfolgt keine im engeren Sinne forschungsmethodische Ausrichtung. Ausgehend von gängigen Systematisierungen kasuistischer Ansätze, die u.a. zwischen forschungsorientiert/rekonstruktiv und praxisreflexiv/-analytisch unterscheiden, kann dies als „Mischform“ gefasst werden. Das fokussierte Phänomen Rausgehen greift (multi-)professionelle Kooperation als Thema inklusiver Lehrer*innenbildung auf; in der lehramtsübergreifenden Variante spiegelt sich diese zudem im Format wider. In dem Beitrag werden Ablauf und Materialien sowie studentische Rückmeldungen zur digitalen (lehramtsübergreifenden) Fallarbeit vorgestellt., In this paper we present a concept as well as case materials for a digital (collaborative) case-based approach within pre-service inclusive teacher education. Based on the BMBF funded project ReLInk, this was developed following the changeover to online teaching and learning in summer semester 2020. This online cased-based learning approach was carried out within a collaborative format between special and general education courses of the universities of Aachen and Hanover as well as within an advanced secondary education course at Göttingen university. In the first week, students engaged with case materials individually. Based on this, online meetings in small groups took place in the following week. Drawing on empirical results of the project ReLInk the case-based learning focuses on secondary students’ views on pull-out situations in the context of ability grouping linked to special education need categorization. In accordance to previous research, we refer to an understanding which emphasizes the role of school in (re)producing difference. With our cased-based learning we aim to encourage reflective practices in pre-service teacher education which address the construction of difference in schools. While our concept for cased-based learning is inspired by Grounded Theory, we do not concentrate on research methods or research-oriented learning. By thus, our concept can be regarded as a mixed-form with respect to given distinctions between cased-based learning formats. By focusing on pull-out, we join current attempts to increase considerations of (inter-)professional collaboration within pre-service teacher-training. In our paper, we present materials, tasks and impulses as well as students’ feedback.

This doctoral dissertation, which consists of three interrelated sub-studies and an overarching summary, explores the inclusive education development process in Zanzibar, Tanzania. The purpose of the research is to contribute to the development of inclusive policies and practices in order to increase the presence, participation and achievement of all learners. The overarching research question investigated in this research was as follows: How is inclusive education developed in Zanzibar, and how can it be better integrated into the education system? This question was divided into six sub-questions. Each of the three interrelated sub-studies in this dissertation focused on specific sub-questions. The data included several documents related to inclusive education development; interviews conducted with 20 teachers from two primary schools; these teachers’ reflective diaries, which were kept during their action research projects, and the researcher’s reflective diary. The data were analysed using qualitative content analysis and thematic analysis. The findings revealed that Zanzibar has taken several measures to make its education system more inclusive. These measures include acknowledging inclusive education in its 2006 education policy, drafting an inclusive education policy, introducing a re-entry policy for school girls who become pregnant, increasing the number of years of compulsory education from 10 to 12, removing school fees for both primary and secondary schools, providing in-service teacher training for inclusive education, recruiting inclusive education and life skills advisors and resource teachers, and introducing inclusive education courses in teacher training colleges. It is also worth noting that the teachers in this research experienced collaborative action research as valuable in developing their inclusive practices, despite the challenges they encounter in the course of conducting their projects. Despite its advantages, collaborative action research demands additional time from the teachers beyond their teaching responsibilities. The research participants found the teacher resource centres to be key in enhancing their professional development. This research shows the need to review the teaching methods and materials used in schools. Reforms in teacher education curricula are also needed in response to increasingly diverse learning needs and educational changes. In addition, this research emphasises the integration of inclusive education and collaborative action research into teacher education so that all teachers can teach inclusively. Both school-based organisational learning and school–community and school–university collaborations can foster collaborative school cultures and inclusive teacher education.

Developing inclusive teacher education to improve learning and schooling for all children is attracting increasing interest worldwide. This study examined teachers’ insights into the development of inclusive teacher education by drawing on collaborative action research conducted by 20 primary school teachers in Zanzibar, Tanzania. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and self-reflective journals kept by the teachers and the first author. The qualitative thematic content analysis revealed: (1) the need to embed inclusive education and action research into pre-service and in-service teacher education curricula and (2) both school-based organisational learning and school–community and school–university collaborations may foster collaborative school cultures and inclusive inservice teacher education. The study discusses the role of teachers’ voices in informing teacher education development for educational equity and inclusion. peerReviewed

Die Gedanken und Erkenntnisse zur Gestaltung einer Lehrer*innenbildung, die Lehrkräfte für die Tätigkeit in inklusionsorientierten Schulen vorbereitet, sind umfassend im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs aufbereitet. Gleichzeitig sind Schulen und damit auch die ausbildenden Hochschulen durch einen spürbaren Lehrkräftemangel zunehmend damit konfrontiert, sogenannte Quer- und Seiteneinsteiger*innen für eine pädagogische Tätigkeit im Bildungssystem auszubilden. Der vorliegende Beitrag versucht diese beiden Themenbereiche miteinander zu verknüpfen, um damit auf eine Lücke im bisherigen wissenschaftlichen Diskurs aufmerksam zu machen. Mit Bezug zu Grundwerten und Kompetenzen, die als grundlegend für inklusive Bildung betrachtet werden, werden bisherige Erkenntnisse der grundständigen Ausbildung im Lehramt diskutiert und mit Erfahrungen der Qualifizierung von sogenannten Quer- und Seiteneinsteiger*innen in Beziehung gesetzt. Diese kritische Reflexion bezieht sich unter anderem auf Erfahrungen aus dem Projekt „wissenschaftliche Ausbildung von Lehrkräften in Sachsen“ (wAL). (DIPF/Orig.), The thoughts and findings on the design of teacher education that prepares teachers to work in inclusion-oriented schools are comprehensively discussed in the research literature. At the same time, due to the noticeable shortage of teaching staff, schools and thus also the universities that provide teacher education programs are increasingly confronted with the need to train so-called ‘lateral entrants’ for pedagogical work in the education system. The present contribution attempts to link these two topics in order to draw attention to a gap in the current academic discourse. With reference to basic values and competences that are considered fundamental for inclusive education, previous findings of basic education in the teaching profession are discussed and related to experiences of the qualification of ‘lateral entrants’. This critical reflection is based, among other things, on experiences from the project „wissenschaftliche Ausbildung von Lehrkräften in Sachsen“ (wAL).
