Forschungsnotiz: Betreuung als Infrastruktur
摘要
The after-school care center, long considered an outdated model, is gaining significance again in the context of the legal entitlement to all-day care for elementary school children. Within the framework of this project it is viewed as a social arena that fills an organizational gap between child and youth services and schools. The aim is to investigate the expectations and interactions of various actors, belonging to different social worlds, within the infrastructure of all-day care. In the project, three case studies in German cities or districts are conducted to analyze the legitimizing figures and functions of the after-school care center. The focus is on the social worlds (children, families, professionals, administration, and politics) that shape the after-school care center on site.
