Problematized Behavior as Challenge to Inclusive Education and School Belonging [ProBe] (B05)

• Subject Area: General Education and History of Education ; Educational Research on Socialization, Welfare and Professionalism
• Term: since 2026
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 549839646

The project B05 investigates the relationship between inclusion, recognition, and justice by examining school practices in dealing with moments of irritation, which are often described as disruptions, behavioral disorder, or special educational needs in in the area of emotional and social development. The focus is on the effects these practices have on the participation (Teilnahme) and belonging (Teilhabe) of the affected students in class and how they are perceived and subjectively experienced by the students themselves. A long-term, multi-perspective ethnographic study is planned at a comprehensive school starting in grade 5.
