In dit artikel wordt het concerpt 'participatiestructuur' geïntroduceerd en als een relevant concept voor de beschrijving van de variatie in manieren waarop gesprekken in de klas gevoerd worden, nader toegelicht. Tevens wordt duidelijk gemaakt hoe de keus voor bepaalde participatiestructuren, die zichtbaar zijn in het gehanteerde taalgebruik van leerkrachten en leerlingen, leerlingen op een bepaald type toekomstige samenleving oriënteren. In dat verband wordt ervoor gepleit om dialogische participatiestructuren en discussie-structuren, die ruimte en rechten voor leerlingen impliceren, te bevorderen in de klas en in lerarenopleidingen.
To elucidate how authoritative knowledge is established for better dealing with unstructured urban problems, this article describes how collaborations between researchers and officials become an instrument for conceptualizing and addressing policy problems. A case study is used to describe a research consortium evaluating the controversial practice of ‘Lifestyle’ based housing allocation in the Dutch domain of social-housing. Analyzing this case in key episodes, we see researchers and policymakers selectively draw on established institutional practices—their so called ‘home practices’—to jointly (re-)structure problems. In addition, we find that restructuring problems is not only intertwined with, but also deliberately aimed at (re-)structuring the relations within and between the governmental practices, the actors are embedded in. It is by selectively tinkering with knowledges, values, norms, and criteria that the actors can deliberately enable and constrain the ways a real-world problem is addressed.
