Fragile Vertraulichkeit: Forschungsethische Herausforderungen in der Forschung zu Holocaust Education

Holocaust education always bears a moral dimension. Thus, ethical issues, understood as reflection on morals, always are immanent in sociological research on Holocaust education from its very beginning. In this article I therefore reflect on research ethics-related issues that arose during a qualitative research project of teaching about the fate of European Sinti and Roma during the Holocaust in German secondary schools. Against the background of characteristics specific to the field of schooling and its specific institutional framework, clearly defined role-related relationships, and strongly formalized data protection regulations, I illuminate in this study, with reference to German sociologists' Code of Ethics, the ethical challenges and the room to maneuver for the stakeholders involved. The study led me to the insight that research ethics principles can be implemented only in an incremental fashion with regard to specifics of the field (school), context (teaching of methods), and research focus (Holocaust education) by taking into account field-specific characteristics and dilemma; and I learned about the fundamentally fragile role of confidentiality in the research process.... view less

Holocaust Education hat immer auch eine moralische Dimension. Fragen der Ethik, hier verstanden als Reflexion über Moral, sind deswegen auch der sozialwissenschaftlichen Erforschung der Holocaust Education von Beginn an immanent. Demzufolge reflektiere ich in diesem Beitrag forschungsethische Fragen, die sich im Rahmen eines qualitativen (Lehr-) Forschungsprojekts über den Unterricht zum Schicksal der europäischen Sinti und Roma während des Holocausts in weiterführenden deutschen Schulen ergeben haben. Vor dem Hintergrund feldspezifischer Eigenheiten im Setting Schule mit seiner institutionellen Rahmung, den klar regulierten Rollenbeziehungen und stark formalisierten datenschutzrechtlichen Vorgaben beleuchte ich anhand der im Ethik-Kodex deutscher Soziologinnen und Soziologen verfassten Grundsätze die forschungsethischen Herausforderungen und Handlungsspielräume der beteiligten Akteur_innen. Neben der Einsicht, dass forschungsethische Grundsätze angesichts der Besonderheiten von Feld (Schule), Kontext (Methodenausbildung) und Forschungsgegenstand (Holocaust Education) nur inkrementell, prozesshaft und unter Berücksichtigung der feldspezifischen Eigenheiten und Dilemmata implementiert werden können, stellt zudem die grundsätzlich fragile Rolle von Vertraulichkeit im Forschungsprozess eine zentrale Erkenntnis dar.... view less
