In this study, which is part of my PhD thesis project, I used the documentary method of interpretation to analyze a discourse on the prospect of leaving care and living autonomously that emerged from group discussions among youth living in a residential setting in Alto Adige [South Tyrol], Italy. The documentary method of interpretation not only examines the explicitly expressed contents of the discourse, but also reconstructs the young person’s implicit, or atheoretical, knowledge underlying and orienting habitualized social action. The method focuses on group-based social patterns that, when applied in care-leaver research, give valuable insights into structurally identical experiences young people in institutions of residential care share that concern the normative educational goal and expected learning outcome of autonomy. The analysis of the group discussions suggests that becoming autonomous in a residential institution is, from the perspective of the young people, a paradoxical arrangement with compulsory character, and that they have developed group-specific patterns and strategies to manage it. This article will present those social patterns and strategies. An understanding of the influence of the paradox is necessary if we are to improve outcomes of the social pedagogical treatment model in residential care settings and thus improve the life chances of residential care alumni and the experience of leaving care for young adults.

对居民护理校友的结构相同经验的了解：在居民护理设施中自成一体的悖论

在这项研究中，这是我的博士学位论文项目的一部分，我使用了文献记录的解释方法来分析关于居住在Alto Adige [South]居住环境中的年轻人的小组讨论中出现的关于离开照料和自主生活的前景的论述。蒂罗尔]，意大利。纪录片的解释方法不仅检查了话语中明确表达的内容，而且还重建了年轻人隐含的或无理论的知识，这些知识基于并定向了习惯性的社会行为。该方法侧重于基于群体的社会模式，当该模式应用于照护者研究中时，可提供宝贵的见解，以了解在机构照料​​机构中年轻人所面临的结构相同的经历，这些经历涉及自治的规范教育目标和预期学习成果。对小组讨论的分析表明，从年轻人的角度来看，在居民机构中自治是一种具有强制性的自相矛盾的安排，并且他们已经开发了针对小组的特定模式和策略来管理它。本文将介绍这些社会模式和策略。如果我们要改善寄宿制环境中的社会教育治疗模式的结果，从而改善寄宿制校友的生活机会和为年轻人留下护理的经验，则必须了解悖论的影响。并且他们已经开发了针对特定群体的模式和策略来进行管理。本文将介绍这些社会模式和策略。如果我们要改善寄宿制环境中的社会教育治疗模式的结果，从而改善寄宿制校友的生活机会和为年轻人留下护理的经验，则必须了解悖论的影响。并且他们已经开发了针对特定群体的模式和策略来进行管理。本文将介绍这些社会模式和策略。如果我们要改善寄宿制环境中的社会教育治疗模式的结果，从而改善寄宿制校友的生活机会和为年轻人留下护理的经验，则必须了解悖论的影响。
