- ItemBewährung und Anerkennung als zentrale Elemente in der Biografie eines reformpädagogisch bewegten Lehrers: Willy Steiger (1894–1976), eine Fallstudie(Národní pedagogické muzeum a knihovna J. A. Komenského, ) Göttlicher, Wilfried; Technická univerzita v LiberciThis paper analyses the curriculum vitae and biography of Willy Steiger (1894–1976), who is understood here as an example of a teacher committed to reform pedagogy. Based on autobiographical material and an analysis of the curriculum vitae, I point to central motifs in Steiger’s life that explain both his pedagogical commitment and his acting in other contexts: the demand to prove oneself in life and the desire to be acknowledged by others for one’s commitment. I suggest that such central motifs can be understood as patterns of interpretation, following Oevermann. Since they are reconstructed here from biographical material, I speak of biographical patterns of interpretation. However, in order to address the central motifs identified with Steiger as patterns of interpretation not only hypothetically, they would have to be shown in a larger number of cases, since patterns of interpretation are understood as collective meanings.
- ItemWandel von Deutungsmustern in Lehrerkollegien – Übergänge, Transitionen und das Problem der Generationen(Národní pedagogické muzeum a knihovna J. A. Komenského, ) Göttlicher, Wilfried; Technická univerzita v LiberciThis paper explores whether the succession of generations can be an impetus that changes prevailing patterns of interpretation within teaching staff. Following Karl Mannheim, I argue that social patterns of interpretation are shaped by generation-specific experiences. One then would expect changes in the patterns of interpretation within teaching staff to take place continuously, as older members are replaced by younger ones. But due to particular dynamics within the labour market, over the last two centuries, always one specific birth cohort was prevailing among teachers (in Germany). At the end of its career, it was replaced by a younger cohort within a short period. This might mean, typical patterns of interpretation changed within a short period as well. This idea is tested by two examples. They suggest it is correct for a homogeneous group of teachers. However, within other social groups of teachers in other geographical areas different patterns of interpretation can be found simultaneously. Considering the teaching profession as a whole it would thus be problematic to assume uniform, generation-specific patterns of interpretation that changed at uniform points in time.
