Contribution
On the basis of 10 years of ethnographic research on rituals and ritualization in an inner city school in Berlin I want to examine some central aspects of school-based learning, which are addressed in the following research questions.
1) How do rituals and ritualization provide opportunities for students to initiate self-determined learning processes and carry out inquiry learning?
2) What significance does the performative turn in the social sciences and humanities have for learning? What consequences does it have for the management of rituals and ritualization of learning and for a new conceptualization of children’s corporality?
3) How is practical knowledge acquired in mimetic processes which enable students to learn, act, live and be together? What is the role of practical knowledge in multimodal learning processes?
4) What potential do rituals and ritualization have for managing cultural diversity in intercultural learning processes?
Using the results of our comprehensive ethnographic research, including participant observation, video-based observation, video performance and photo-analysis and also interviews and group discussion, I will examine these questions and their implicit hypotheses, giving examples from the Berlin Study on Rituals in Education which examines a UNESCO primary school with 340 children including 20 different migration back grounds.
