Abstract (eng)
The master thesis deals with the (structural) discrimination of internationally trained teachers in Austria, identifying possibilities to change the situation. By working with Situational analysis, a closer look at the relationships between different actors in the situation under investigation was possible. Additionally, the context of the situation, e. g. political processes in Austria, could be considered during the analysis. It became clear that the maintenance of (structural) barriers on the way to employment for internationally trained teachers in Austria is particularly justified by othering mechanisms. In this context, internationally trained teachers are constructed as 'different' from the majority society based on markers of difference such as language or the origin of their degree. The legal framework is also highly relevant regarding the unequal treatment of internationally trained teachers since disadvantageous starting conditions in the hiring process are based on legal criteria. Possibilities for overcoming these barriers were therefore identified, particularly at the legal level. For example, employment criteria could be supplemented by (foreign) professional experience and additional language skills. To achieve legal changes, both political decisions and an increased social awareness of inclusion are necessary.
