Daniel Rohde

Daniel Rohde is a Researcher at the Institute for Social and Organizational Pedagogy, University of Hildesheim, specializing in multiprofessionalism in school contexts, all-day school development, digitalization in education, and school social work. He currently serves as a research associate in the SOBIS project (Social and Educational Infrastructure: Processing Childhoods) since April 2025, focusing on full-day care as a relational educational arrangement.

His research interests center on the complex interplay between educational infrastructure, professional collaboration, and digital transformation in schools. Rohde investigates how multiprofessional teams function in all-day school settings, examining the roles of both professional educators and laypeople in educational contexts. His work particularly addresses workforce challenges in child and youth welfare services amid skilled labor shortages, exploring opportunities and risks in professionalization processes.

Rohde's publication record demonstrates a consistent focus on qualitative social research examining the practical implementation of educational theories. His recent work analyzes cooperation and networking structures in all-day staff configurations, while earlier research investigated the implementation challenges of Germany's DigitalPact School initiative. His research consistently bridges theoretical frameworks with practical educational settings through ethnographic and mixed-methods approaches.

Rohde has presented his findings at significant academic conferences including the DGfE Congress and WERA-IRN EXTENDED EDUCATION Conference, demonstrating active engagement with the international research community. His collaborative work with researchers from multiple institutions reflects the interdisciplinary nature of his research on educational infrastructure and professional collaboration.

His academic journey shows steady progression from doctoral fellow in the graduate school 'Multiprofessionality in Educational Infrastructure and Social Services' (2016-2020) to his current research associate position, with involvement in projects funded by prestigious organizations including the German Research Foundation and zukunft.niedersachsen.
