Social Sciences - History / Education
English term or phrase: agency
There are two sentences with that word:

Although both of these paradigms had problematic aspects - particularly related to agency and the subjective motivations of educators in the Third Reich - they accomplished a great deal in clarifying our understanding of intellectual antecedents of Nazism and the exact Nazi strategy for transforming schools...

Only since the mid-1980s have we begun to investigate the residual agency possessed by teachers in the Third Reich, and to ask which factors led them to support, disengage from, or oppose the regime.

TIA,
Katrin

Explanation:
is an option that "works" for both instances in your quotation, as well as in the overall debate.

But the "paradigms" mentioned might deserve some more detailed information from your side.
