competence/subjectification effects, individual “vocationality” and learning-supportive platform design (CKoBeLeP, 2021-2024)
The research project CKoBeLeP analyzes crowdwork and crowdwork platforms from the perspective of vocational and business education, labour sociology and with a focus on the relationship between crowdwork and the subjectivity of workers, skill development as well as “vocationality”. In different subprojects, the interdisciplinary team investigates the skills developed and needed by platform workers, their occupational biographies as well as the design of tasks on platforms and its impact on on-the-job learning. One focus lies on the group of young adults before, during and after their vocational training who perform platform-based work as a side job or main occupation. The research activities will be implemented together with selected crowdworking platforms and other stakeholders as practice partners. The project is a cooperation between the Helmut-Schmidt-University Hamburg (HSU), the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) and the Berlin Social Science Center (WZB). It is part of the Center for Digitalization and Technology Research (dtec.bw) at the HSU/UniBw H.
