Spuren im Leben: Wirkungen individueller Arbeitsstile in Jugendhilfeeinrichtungen
by Stefanie GandtDas Erkenntnisinteresse der qualitativen Forschungsarbeit liegt im Praxisfeld der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe und fokussiert sich dort auf den Bereich der Hilfen zur Erziehung. Von Interesse sind die Spuren, die die individuelle Bearbeitung von Kernproblemen durch professionelle Akteur:innen im sonderpädagogischen Hort in den Biographien der Adressat:innen hinterlässt. Der multiperspektivischen Wirklichkeit wird im besonderen Rechnung getragen, in dem aus den drei Perspektiven Institution, Adressat:in und professionelle Akteur:innen auf die Wirkung der Hilfen zu Erziehung geblickt wird und die Ergebnisse mit Hilfe einer Mehrebenenanalyse miteinander in Beziehung gesetzt werden. Aus den Merkmalen wird ein Kontinuum entwickelt, welches den "charismatischen Arbeitsstil" beispielhaft skizziert.
