This article focuses the educational settings in the everyday life of young refugees in the context of distance education under the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany. It explores dimensions and intensifications of education-related digital inequality during this period in formal and non-formal educational settings. Based on ethnographic interviews with teachers, young refugees and social workers, different dimensions of inequality as well as interrelations between informal (leisure), non-formal (child and youth welfare) and formal (school) educational contexts for empowering the educational participation of young refugees, especially regarding online learning, are discussed. The empirical data show that during the period of distance education the specific needs of young refugees are only taken into account to a limited extent and thus increasing risks of exclusion from education emerge. Lack of technical access, media expertise, language skills and personal support turn out to be major challenges in enabling educational participation of vulnerable groups such as young refugees. Therefore, educational policy at federal and national level in Germany needs to outline a scheme on how to meet these challenges by further developing non-formal as well as formal educational support structures.
Der vorliegende Artikel befasst sich mit dem Zusammenspiel von digitalen Medien, Bildung und Teilhabe mit einer Fokussierung auf das Thema Flucht. Das durch das BMBF geförderte ethnografische Forschungsvorhaben Bildungsteilhabe Geflüchteter in digitalisierten Bildungsarrangements (BIGEDIB) (Laufzeit 2019-2022) widmet sich in praxistheoretischer Perspektive der Frage nach (Bildungs-)Teilhabe in unterschiedlichen medial durchdrungenen Bildungs- und Alltagskontexten junger Geflüchteter mittels Feldprotokolle teilnehmender Beobachtungen. Der Artikel zeigt anhand beispielhafter Sequenzanalysen zentrale Forschungserkenntnisse im Hinblick auf Bedingungen für die Ermöglichung von (Bildungs-) Teilhabe im Kontext digitalisierter Bildungsarrangements. Ein zentrales Analyseergebnis ist die Notwendigkeit der Herstellung von Passung zwischen fachlich-personalen Anforderungen, subjektiven Voraussetzungen junger Geflüchteter und Charakteristika digitaler Artefakte unter der Rahmung der institutionellen Bedingungen im Bildungsarrangement.
