The research unit analyses these processes of social construction and the creation of excellence from early childhood education and care (ECEC) to higher education, and the meaning for recipients of education and professionals in Germany. In the first funding phase, six research projects explore the educational discourses on elites and excellence, the cooperation between families and institutions in child care and primary schools, the exclusive secondary school segment, elite universities with claims of excellence, and social distinction in juvenile peer worlds. Contrasting comparison cases are also generally considered.Main aspects of cooperation across projects in the first funding phase were development of the concept of mechanism of elite formation, the analysis of selection criteria, choosing practices at educational transitions and also enclosed mechanisms of distinction processes and constructions of coherence as well as the examination of implementation and dissemination of education policydriven excellence and elite semantics.Applying the second funding phase, the research unit gains further to explore the ongoing transformation of discourses on excellence and equality and the changes of exclusive education institutions in chronological comparison, changes of selection strategies and educational orientation of parents with preschool-age and primary school-age children and also education biographies and interpretative patterns of excellence of adolescents at exclusive secondary schools in transition to higher education or work life in terms of qualitative longitudinal studies, supplemented by two additional surveys focusing also the quantitative perspective of processes. Moreover, a typology of argumentations for exclusive educational institutions should be systematically elaborated and the significance of international ECEC as well as primary and secondary schools is taken into account considering the process of internationalisation of the German educational system and transnational elite formation. In doing so, a methodically innovative connecting between micro analytical, qualitative studies and quantitative surveys takes place. The findings of the research unit will shed light on the dynamics of elite formation in chronological comparison, on selection strategies, processes and conflicts in longitudinal perspective, on early educational biographical careers of elites and also on impacts on the entire educational system.

该研究单位分析了这些社会建设的过程，从幼儿教育和保育（ECEC）到高等教育的卓越创造，以及德国教育和专业人士的接受者的意义。在第一个资助阶段，六个研究项目探讨了精英和卓越的教育话语，家庭和机构之间的合作，在儿童保育和小学，独家中学部分，精英大学与卓越的索赔，并在青少年同龄人世界的社会区别。在第一个资助阶段，项目间合作的主要方面是发展精英形成机制的概念，分析选择标准，在教育转型中选择实践，以及区分过程和连贯性建设的封闭机制，以及对教育政策驱动的卓越和精英的实施和传播的审查语义学。应用第二个资助阶段，研究单位进一步探索正在进行的关于卓越和平等的话语的转变，以及按时间顺序比较的排他性教育机构的变化，学龄前儿童和小学儿童家长选择策略和教育取向的变化-从定性纵向研究的角度来看，此外，还进行了另外两次调查，重点也是进程的数量方面。此外，应系统地阐述专门教育机构的论证类型，并考虑到国际幼儿保育和教育以及中小学的重要性，同时考虑到德国教育系统的国际化进程和跨国精英的形成。在这样做的过程中，微观分析，定性研究和定量调查之间进行了系统的创新联系。该研究单位的研究结果将阐明精英形成的动态，在时间上的比较，在纵向的角度来看，选择策略，过程和冲突，在精英的早期教育传记职业生涯，也对整个教育系统的影响。
