Educational Rehabilitation and Reintegration in Juvenile Care Institutions: A Framework Analysis

Abstract Educational rehabilitation within juvenile care institutions is a complex, multi-layered process shaped by organisational structures, pedagogical practices, emotional climates, and broader social linkages. While existing research often examines isolated components of institutional care, there remains a lack of integrative analytical approaches capable of capturing the relational and ecological nature of rehabilitation and reintegration processes. Addressing this gap, the present study employs a qualitative exploratory–descriptive multiple case study design to examine educational rehabilitation and social reintegration across selected juvenile care institutions. Drawing on in-depth interviews with institutional staff, educators, caregivers, focus group discussions, and systematic observational memos, the study adopts a multi-level analytical strategy culminating in a framework (matrix) analysis. An eleven-domain analytical framework was inductively developed through thematic analysis and subsequently used to enable structured cross-case comparison. The framework encompasses institutional structures and organisational logic, spatial and material conditions, daily routines, educational rehabilitation models, emotional and behavioural climate, staff culture and power relations, child agency and resistance, mental health and therapeutic support, peer socialisation processes, family and community linkages, and reintegration trajectories. Findings reveal that educational rehabilitation is not a linear or uniform process but is deeply contingent on institutional ecologies, where care, control, and capability development coexist in dynamic tension. While structured routines and supportive staff cultures can foster emotional regulation and skill acquisition, gaps in mental health support, uneven family engagement, and constrained post-institutional pathways often limit sustainable reintegration. By foregrounding cross-domain interconnections, this study contributes a robust framework-based methodological approach for analysing institutional rehabilitation contexts and offers evidence-informed insights for policy, practice, and future research in juvenile justice, child welfare, and educational rehabilitation systems.
