    Zusammenfassung: Die Sicht der MigrantInnen auf Integration wurde bisher kaum zum Gegenstand wissenschaftlicher Berichte. Trotz einiger Versuche, individuelle Biographien ins Zentrum der Analyse zu rĂŒcken, fand die subjektive Interpretation und Bewertung der "Post-Migrationsprozesse" durch die MigrantInnen bisher wenig Beachtung. Da die ersten Kohorten der in Österreich ursprĂŒnglich als "GastarbeiterInnen" in den 1960er Jahren angeworbenen ArbeitsmigrantInnen nun das Pensionsalter erreicht haben, ist es möglich, von deren Standpunkt aus die Migration rĂŒckblickend als "Lebensprojekt" zu betrachten. Bislang fehlten in Österreich sowohl geeignete Longitudinaldaten fĂŒr quantitative Analysen als auch qualitative ZugĂ€nge, welche die subjektive Bewertung des individuellen Migrationsprojektes zum Gegenstand hatten. Die drei zentralen Aspekte der vorliegenden Untersuchung — der Lebenslauf, die subjektive Bewertung der Akteure und die KontextabhĂ€ngigkeit von Integrationsprozessen — werden in diesem Artikel als Basis fĂŒr die Generierung von Hypothesen und Theorien genutz

    Challenges and opportunities for culturally responsive leadership in schools: evidence from four European countries

    Whether voluntary or enforced, increasing patterns of migration have significantly impacted schools by making them linguistically, culturally, religiously and ethnically more diverse than ever before. This increasing diversity requires school leaders to put in place mechanisms to ensure equity of participation for migration background students. Dimmock and Walker (2005) believe that school leaders need to play a vital role in promoting and sustaining an environment that embraces diversity and, by association, contributes to solving the macro problems of society. To accomplish this emerging role, there is a need for ‘new approaches to educational leadership in which leaders exhibit culturally responsive organisational practices, behaviours and competencies’ (Madhlangobe and Gordon, 2012: p. 177). This is all well and good in theory, but the current and historical context in which school leaders operate, together with the training and supports that are provided, influences, to a significant extent, how culturally responsive leadership can operate in practice. This study, which is part of a European Commission Erasmus+ funded project entitled Supporting Culturally Responsive Leadership and Evaluation in Schools (CReLES), examines these assumptions by mapping out the factors and actors that can hinder and facilitate the flourishing of such practices in four European countries, Austria, Ireland, Russia and Spain

    In der vorliegenden Dissertation werden die Ungleichheitsparameter der BildungsabschlĂŒsse und beruflichen Positionen anhand der österreichischen VolkszĂ€hlungsdaten 2001 inter- und intragenerational sowie inter- und intragruppal analysiert. Im Zentrum stehen die beiden Anwerbegruppen aus dem ehemaligen Jugoslawien und der TĂŒrkei. Um das Ausmaß der Ungleichheit bewerten und die KomplexitĂ€t abbilden zu können, wird das MDR-Profil dieser Herkunftsgruppen als neues Instrument entwickelt. Es setzt sich aus der intergenerationalen MobilitĂ€tsrate, der DissimilaritĂ€tsquote zwischen den Gleichaltrigen und dem Rechtsungleichheitswert zwischen den eingebĂŒrgerten und nicht eingebĂŒrgerten Gleichaltrigen innerhalb jeder Herkunftsgruppe zusammen. Auf Basis einer kritischen Betrachtung unterschiedlicher frĂŒherer Forschungsergebnisse zur intergenerationalen MobilitĂ€t der ex-jugoslawischen und tĂŒrkischen Herkunftsgruppen wird der Kriterienkatalog migrationsspezifischer Datenanalyse QS MIGDA entwickelt. Er setzt sich aus den fĂŒnf Komponenten Herkunftskontext, Rechtsstatus, Generationenabgrenzung/Geburtsland, Altersgruppenabgrenzung und PrĂŒfung der adĂ€quaten GrĂ¶ĂŸe der Zielpopulation in der Stichprobe zusammen. Das Ergebnis ordnet sich in den ErklĂ€rungsansatz der aus den USA stammenden Segmentierten Assimilation ein. Zur Anwendung des MDR-Profils als Instrument der komparativen Ungleichheitsanalyse von europĂ€ischen EinwanderungslĂ€ndern wurde der ErklĂ€rungsansatz der Segmentierten Assimilation um die Dimension der gesellschaftlichen Makrofaktoren (nationales SelbstverstĂ€ndnis, Rechtssystems, Wohlfahrtsstaatstyp, Wirtschaftsstruktur und Bildungssystem) erweitert und mit dem Begriff der Segmentierten Partizipation neu gefasst.In this dissertation educational certificates and professional positions are used to discuss equality of opportunities in societies of immigration. The focus is on immigrants from former Yugoslavia and Turkey, the data-base is the Austrian census 2001. The core is the MDR-profile, an instrument constructed to estimate the magnitude of inequality while acknowledging its complexity. The MDR-profile consists of three dimensions. The first dimension „M“ (Intergenerationale MobilitĂ€ts-Rate) pertains to intergenerational mobility within each group of origin, the second dimension „D“ (DissimilaritĂ€tsquote) describes the dissimilarity between same age-cohorts of different groups of origin and the third dimension „R“ (Rechtsungleichheitswert) calculates the differences between naturalized and non-naturalized second generation of each particular group of origin. In combination the MDR-values lend themselves to a group profile giving a rough quantification in each of the three dimensions of inequality. In a synopsis and reevaluation of earlier research results on intergenerational mobility of migrants from former Yugoslavia and Turkey stark contradictions were identified. As a consequence a catalogue of five criterias for quality assurance of migration specific data-analyses is presented: country/region of origin, legal status, generation=non/native born, age cohort and number of target persons in sample. As explanatory approach to inequality in countries of immigration the US-based model of „Segmented Assimilation“ is used as a starting point. To implement the MDR-profile as an instrument for for country comparative analyses in the European context the model was adapted. To this end a macro-dimension with five key-elements was added: national self-understanding, legal system, welfarestate type, structure of economic system, structure of educational system. The adapted model was renamed „Segmented Participation“ to better suit the European context, not least because the term assimilation has a different and more restrictive meaning than in the US

    Multilingual education in the light of diversity : Lessons learned

    No full text
    While multilingualism and diversity have always been an integral part of Europe, they also became important characteristics of many national education systems in the past two decades. The linguistic diversity of modern classrooms is shaped by 1. the presence of historical non-dominant language groups, which are being revitalised; 2. The growing mobility between countries which results in a variety of new languages and skills in the classrooms; and 3. changing educational and labour market demands that favour multilingual and multi-literate citizens. Consequently, more and more young learners are growing up with several cultures and languages and may experience multiple transitions between different school systems and school languages. Raised in changing multilingual and multicultural environments, individuals may no longer identify themselves with one language and culture but rather with a range of languages and cultures acquired in different situations. In the context of these social transformations, multilingualism is becoming more a way of life, rather than a problem to be solved. Therefore, the task of education stakeholders is to create school systems that bridge these various linguistic and cultural realities and support the mobility of the pupils across Europe. Schools need to provide an education, which supports the development of learners’ linguistic and cultural resources, whilst balancing these at the same time with social, cultural and political demands. The challenge at hand is therefore, to offer a multilingual schooling system that supports the inclusion of all pupils in which they can develop their full potential linguistically, cognitively and emotionally
