Zusammenfassung

Dieser Beitrag stützt sich auf die vergleichende Betrachtung von Reformen der Lehrerbildung in zwei verschiedenen Kontexten: zum einen fokussiert es auf die Entwicklungen in England, zum anderen, wenn auch weniger stark, auf jene in den Vereinigten Staaten. Zentral für dieses Kapitel sind die folgenden Fragen: Was wissen wir über Steuerung und Governance im Bereich der Lehrerbildung und hier vorfindlicher Reformen? Welche Perspektiven sollten uns bei der Analyse dieser Fragen leiten? Im Englischen Kontext zeigt sich, dass Autonomie zur Problemlösung oder besser „fire-fighting“ in diesem Bereich (einigen) dezentralen Akteuren übertragen wird, während andere Interessengruppen wiederum einer starken Reglementierung unterliegen. Eine solche Gestaltung von zeitgleich rigider und lockerer Steuerung zeigt sich teilweise auch im US-amerikanischen Kontext. Das Kapitel legt zudem dar, dass die analytische Auseinandersetzung mit Steuerung und Governance auch die Auseinandersetzung mit Fragen von Governmentality beinhalten sollte, d.h. insbesondere die handlungsleitenden Perspektiven und Einstellungen der verschiedenen involvierten Akteure sowie die Beeinflussung dieser durch die eingesetzten Strategien und Methoden von Steuerung.
