New publication on career-related orientation patterns of student teachers

The award-winning dissertation by Magdalena Gercke from the University of Erfurt has now been published as a monograph by Beltz Juventa under the title "Berufsbezogene Orientierungsmuster von Lehramtsstudierenden im Hinblick auf schulische Inklusion" (career-related orientation patterns of student teachers with regard to school inclusion).

This study examines how students of primary, mainstream and special education deal with the topic of school inclusion against the background of their professional orientation patterns. The reconstructions of the group discussions show orientation patterns and appropriation practices that are specific to the type of teaching profession. Regardless of the type of teaching profession, there are two educational orientation frameworks that are particularly effective in the context of inclusion. The results provide indications for further research and development in the context of inclusion-oriented teacher education.

For her dissertation, Magdalena Gercke received the 2021 Doctoral Award of the University of Erfurt.
