The complexity of the classroom environment is a potential contributing factor that has not been empirically tested. In this experimental study, we utilized a virtual reality (VR) classroom to examine whether classroom complexity affects the likelihood of student teachers noticing disruptions and how they react after noticing. Classroom complexity was operationalized as the number of disruptions and the existence of overlapping disruptions (multidimensionality) as well as the existence of parallel teaching tasks (simultaneity). Results showed that student teachers (n = 50) were less likely to notice the scripted disruptions, and also less likely to respond to the disruptions in a comprehensive and effortful manner when facing greater complexity. These results may have implications for both teacher training and the design of VR for training or research purpose. This study contributes to the field from two aspects: 1) it revealed how features of the classroom environment can affect student teachers' noticing of and reaction to disruptions; and 2) it extends the functionality of the VR environment-from a teacher training tool to a testbed of fundamental classroom processes that are difficult to manipulate in real-life.}, language = {en} } @article{RichterLucksnatReddingetal.2022, author = {Richter, Eric and Lucksnat, Christin and Redding, Christopher and Richter, Dirk}, title = {Retention intention and job satisfaction of alternatively certified teachers in their first year of teaching}, series = {Teaching and Teacher Education}, volume = {114}, journal = {Teaching and Teacher Education}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {0742-051X}, doi = {10.1016/j.tate.2022.103704}, pages = {11}, year = {2022}, abstract = {In this study, we investigated retention intention and job satisfaction of 238 first-year alternatively certified (AC) teachers.

In this article, we show how major theoretical branches of research on wages and inequality-that is, cumulative advantage (CA), human capital theory, and the lifespan perspective-can be integrated into a coherent statistical framework and analyzed with multilevel dynamic structural equation modeling (DSEM). This opens up a new way to empirically investigate the mechanisms that drive growing inequality over time. We demonstrate the new approach by making use of longitudinal, representative U.S. data (NLSY-79). Analyses revealed fundamental between-person differences in both initial wages and autoregressive wage growth rates across the lifespan. Only 0.5\% of the sample experienced a "strict" CA and unbounded wage growth, whereas most individuals revealed logarithmic wage growth over time. Adolescent intelligence and adult educational levels explained substantial heterogeneity in both parameters. We discuss how DSEM may help researchers study CA processes and related developmental dynamics, and we highlight the extensions and limitations of the DSEM framework.}, language = {en} } @article{HuangRichterKleickmannetal.2022, author = {Huang, Yizhen and Richter, Eric and Kleickmann, Thilo and Richter, Dirk}, title = {Class size affects preservice teachers' physiological and psychological stress reactions}, series = {Computers \& education : an international journal}, volume = {184}, journal = {Computers \& education : an international journal}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {0360-1315}, doi = {10.1016/j.compedu.2022.104503}, pages = {20}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Teachers frequently express stress associated with teaching in large classrooms. Despite the timehonored tradition in teacher stress research of treating class size as a job-related stressor, the underlying premise that class size directly impacts teachers' stress reactions remains untested. In this randomized controlled experiment targeted at preservice teachers, we utilized a standardized virtual reality (VR) classroom to examine whether class size (number of student avatars) directly affected physiological (heart rate) or psychological (subjective rating) stress reactions among 65 preservice teachers. Results from linear mixed-effects modeling (LMM) showed that class size significantly predicted both their physiological and psychological stress reactions in the simulated environment: Average heart rate and subjective stress ratings were both significantly higher in the large class size condition. Further investigations into the causes of this association has been proposed.

Although the emerging technology of virtual reality (VR) provides similar, and arguably more powerful, capabilities for immersing teachers in lifelike situations, its benefits and risks relative to video formats have received little attention in the research to date. The current study used a randomized pretest-posttest experimental design to examine the influence of a video- versus VR-based task on changing situational interest and self-efficacy in classroom management. Results from 49 student teachers revealed that the VR simulation led to higher increments in self-reported triggered interest and self-efficacy in classroom management, but also invoked higher extraneous cognitive load than a video viewing task. We discussed the implications of these results for pre-service teacher education and the design of VR environments for professional training purposes. Practitioner notes What is already known about this topic Video is a popular teacher training medium given its ability to display classroom situations. Virtual reality (VR) also immerses users in lifelike situations and has gained popularity in recent years. Situational interest and self-efficacy in classroom management is vital for student teachers' professional development. What this paper adds VR outperforms video in promoting student teachers' triggered interest in classroom management. Student teachers felt more efficacious in classroom management after participating in VR. VR also invoked higher extraneous cognitive load than the video. Implications for practice and/or policy VR provides an authentic teacher training environment for classroom management. The design of the VR training environment needs to ensure a low extraneous cognitive load.}, language = {en} } @article{RichterMarxHuangetal.2020, author = {Richter, Eric and Marx, Alexandra and Huang, Yizhen and Richter, Dirk}, title = {Zeiten zum beruflichen Lernen}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Erziehungswissenschaft}, volume = {23}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Erziehungswissenschaft}, number = {1}, publisher = {Springer VS/Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH}, address = {Wiesbaden}, issn = {1434-663X}, doi = {10.1007/s11618-019-00924-x}, pages = {145 -- 173}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Die Forschung zur Lehrerfortbildung weist darauf hin, dass zeitliche Einschr{\"a}nkungen eine Barriere f{\"u}r die Teilnahme an Fortbildungen darstellen.
