Families undergoing transitions: Changes in family concepts and related processes of learning

在家庭形式、生活方式和生活安排日趋多元化的背景下，组织和管理一个充实的家庭生活的要求越来越高。尽管“做家庭”的理论概念很流行，但目前关于“日常家庭生活管理”的研究在以下问题上却福尔斯不足：如何将充实家庭生活的理想和想法（家庭概念）用于家庭生活过程中某些阶段发生的私人生活变化。拟议的研究旨在更好地了解家庭观念的变化，这些变化发生在家庭生活的重要转变期间（向父母身份的转变和向夫妇后父母身份的转变）。根据这一假设，即过渡是生命历程的各个阶段，在那里发生了特别“密集”的学习和教养过程，研究的总体目标是找出父母学习和“教养”的过程，这些过程是所观察到的家庭观念变化的基础。

Against the background of a significant diversification of family forms, life-styles and living arrangements, the organisation and management of a fulfilling family life has become more and more demanding nowadays. Despite the prevalence of the theoretical concept of 'doing family', current research on the 'management of everyday family life' falls short with regard to the question, how ideals and ideas of a fulfilling family life (family concepts) are adopted to changes in private life which take place at certain stages of the family life course. The proposed study aims at providing an better understanding of changes in family concepts, which take place during important transitions in family life (transition to parenthood and transitions to post couple parenthood). Following the assumption, that transitions are phases of the life course, where particularly 'dense' processes of learning and Bildung take place, the overall aim of the study is to work out processes of parental learning and' 'Bildung' that underlie the observed changes in family concepts.
