Abstract (eng)
This master thesis is about psychoanalytic-pedagogical understanding and facilitation in the context of school with special emphasis put on working with socially and emotionally disadvantaged adolescents who, for these reasons, are taught in “special classes” and the arising challenges faced by teachers.
The topic of this master thesis is the importance of contemplation in interaction with pupils in light of the problems that arise from different aims of teachers and their often numerous pupils, many of whom are dissocial.
The application of psychoanalytic-pedagogical assumptions, methods, and concepts has made it possible to show, on the basis of the case study, which is also presented in the thesis, that differentiated thinking about own experiences and those of the others contributes to relieving the teacher and, in addition, leads to a professional approach in teacher/student interaction.
The psychoanalytical approach makes it possible to endure conscious and unconscious experiences and to understand the inner world of your counterpart. This process is admittedly painful and demanding since it is always balancing between success and failure.
The case material illustrates the change of attitude of a teacher in the work discussion seminar, which comes about through the processing of a written, narrative protocol. During the university course “The integration of children and adolescents with emotional and social problems in the context of school”, the teacher drafts a supportive-diagnostic profile of a pupil on the verge of falling out with the school system and who shows pedagogically disturbing manifest behavior. Biographical and manifest data as well as interactions with the teacher are incorporated and processed in the self- and group-awareness groups as well as in the work discussion seminar with the ultimate goal of uncovering approaches of facilitation.
Concerning the question of the relevance of contemplation of own experiences and those of others in facilitation, the contemplative processes of both case studies are analyzed regarding specific psychoanalytic-pedagogical aspects such as the containing function, defense mechanisms of the teacher and the opening of new manners of observation and understanding of the students, and viewed in the light of the specific pressure on the teachers in the context of school.
