Basic education and pedagogical reflexivity in the migration society
maiz – Autonomous Centre for and by Migrant Women
Educational work in the migration society is characterised by contradictions, for example those resulting from the principles of equality vs. difference or the desire for change vs. integration. These contradictions demand a higher level of pedagogical reflexivity, which is a prerequisite for professional work in this field. There is a range of scientifically founded concepts that better reach practical educational work and are more effective when they are “translated” into a practice-related language.
As part of this research module, the participants researched professional theories and models, supplemented them with their own questionnaires and processed the data for practical work in the classroom. An approach promoting pedagogical reflexivity was developed and tested in the course of several reflexivity workshops. New materials (short videos, pictures, texts etc.) were developed during the project and are available under “Material and New Developments” (-> German version)
