TY - JOUR A1 - Al Laban, Firas A1 - Reger, Martin A1 - Lucke, Ulrike T1 - Closing the Policy Gap in the Academic Bridge JF - Education sciences N2 - The highly structured nature of the educational sector demands effective policy mechanisms close to the needs of the field. That is why evidence-based policy making, endorsed by the European Commission under Erasmus+ Key Action 3, aims to make an alignment between the domains of policy and practice. Against this background, this article addresses two issues: First, that there is a vertical gap in the translation of higher-level policies to local strategies and regulations. Second, that there is a horizontal gap between educational domains regarding the policy awareness of individual players. This was analyzed in quantitative and qualitative studies with domain experts from the fields of virtual mobility and teacher training. From our findings, we argue that the combination of both gaps puts the academic bridge from secondary to tertiary education at risk, including the associated knowledge proficiency levels. We discuss the role of digitalization in the academic bridge by asking the question: which value does the involved stakeholders expect from educational policies? As a theoretical basis, we rely on the model of value co-creation for and by stakeholders. We describe the used instruments along with the obtained results and proposed benefits. Moreover, we reflect on the methodology applied, and we finally derive recommendations for future academic bridge policies.

Der vorliegende Beitrag befasst sich mit der Bedeutung der Fluchtmigration für die Lehrer*innenbildung. Am Beispiel des Refugee Teachers Program an der Universität Potsdam wird ein universitäres Bildungsangebot zur Nachqualifizierung für geflüchtete Lehrkräfte vorgestellt. Dabei fokussieren wir die konzeptionellen Grundlagen, die Struktur und die Inhalte des Programms und diskutieren es im Kontext aktueller Fragestellungen der Lehrer*innenbildung. N2 - Amongst other challenges through refugee migration, institutional changes are required also in teacher education. Th is article exemplifi es reactions to forced migration with the Refugee Teachers Program at the University of Potsdam, a program designed to re� qualify in-service teachers who took refuge in Germany. We focus on the underlying concepts, the structure and the contents of the program and discuss it in the context of current issues of teacher education.
