Sobre a conferência

School and classroom practices play an important role in either (re)producing or ameliorating social inequalities. School systems that track their students – as in Germany – are more likely to reproduce and stabilize inequality than non-tracking systems, as in Canada. This leads to the question of how ability and education are understood in school policy and how this understanding is being processed in teachers’ explicit and implicit concepts and constructions that guide their daily classroom practice. These questions will be addressed theoretically and methodologically, and illustrated with examples from the Canadian province of British Columbia and the German state of Saxony-Anhalt. The theoretical and methodological approach in which these considerations are anchored, are the Praxeological Sociology of Knowledge – that picks up, among others, the ideas of Karl Mannheim, Pierre Bourdieu, and Erving Goffman – and the Documentary Method. The central presumption of this approach is the distinction of explicit and implicit forms of knowledge, marked by tension and discrepancy.
The comparison of policy and practice in two different school systems will shed light on explicit and implicit understandings of ability and education as well as their relation. Through the international comparison, the presentation shows the social genesis of the construction of ability and education. Moreover, it allows to identify policy as a relevant aspect for the (re)production and amelioration of social inequalities.
