  abstract  = {Well-developed phonological awareness skills are a core prerequisite for early literacy development. Although effective phonological awareness training programs exist, children at risk often do not reach similar levels of phonological awareness after the intervention as children with normally developed skills. Based on theoretical considerations and first promising results the present study explores effects of an early musical training in combination with a conventional phonological training in children with weak phonological awareness skills. Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design and measurements across a period of 2 years, we tested the effects of two interventions: a consecutive combination of a musical and a phonological training and a phonological training alone. The design made it possible to disentangle effects of the musical training alone as well the effects of its combination with the phonological training. The outcome measures of these groups were compared with the control group with multivariate analyses, controlling for a number of background variables. The sample included N = 424 German-speaking children aged 4-5 years at the beginning of the study. We found a positive relationship between musical abilities and phonological awareness. Yet, whereas the well-established phonological training produced the expected effects, adding a musical training did not contribute significantly to phonological awareness development. Training effects were partly dependent on the initial level of phonological awareness. Possible reasons for the lack of training effects in the musical part of the combination condition as well as practical implications for early literacy education are discussed.},

  abstract  = {This two-wave longitudinal study examined how developmental changes in students' mastery goal orientation, academic effort, and intrinsic motivation were predicted by student-perceived support of motivational support (support for autonomy, competence, and relatedness) in secondary classrooms. The study extends previous knowledge that showed that support for motivational support in class is related to students' intrinsic motivation as it focused on the developmental changes of a set of different motivational variables and the relations of these changes to student-perceived motivational support in class. Thus, differential classroom effects on students' motivational development were investigated. A sample of 1088 German students was assessed in the beginning of the school year when students were in grade 8 (Mean age D 13.70, SD D 0.53, 54\% girls) and again at the end of the next school year when students were in grade 9. Results of latent change models showed a tendency toward decline in mastery goal orientation and a significant decrease in academic effort from grade 8 to 9. Intrinsic motivation did not decrease significantly across time. Student-perceived support of competence in class predicted the level and change in students' academic effort. The findings emphasized that it is beneficial to create classroom learning environments that enhance students' perceptions of competence in class when aiming to enhance students' academic effort in secondary school classrooms.},

Lebensjahr nachgezeichnet werden. Es wird bislang eine Spanne von {\"u}ber 30 Jahren betrachtet. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage nach den Bedingungen produktiver Lebensbew{\"a}ltigung im jungen und mittleren Lebensalter. Damit wird auch die Frage nach den Risiken nicht gelingender Lebensbew{\"a}ltigung thematisiert. Insbesondere ist von Interesse, welche herkunftsbezogenen, pers{\"o}nlichen und sozialen Ressourcen zu einer gelingenden Lebensbew{\"a}ltigung beitragen. Wie entwickeln und ver{\"a}ndern sich bereichsspezifische Dom{\"a}nen, wie etwa Partnerschaft und Familie, die Erwerbst{\"a}tigkeit oder auch die Identit{\"a}t im Leben? Welche Faktoren haben eine pr{\"a}dikative Wirkung {\"u}ber mehrere Jahrzehnte, welche Faktoren haben nur tempor{\"a}re Bedeutung? Der erste Teil dieses Berichts stellt die Durchf{\"u}hrung und das Konzept der LifE-Studie vor. Der zweite Teil betrachtet das Teilnahmeverhalten seit Beginn der Jugendstudie 1979 {\"u}ber die erste Follow-Up-Studie im Jahre 2002 bis zur letzten Erhebung 2012. Ausf{\"a}lle sind bei einem Untersuchungszeitraum von {\"u}ber 30 Jahren unvermeidbar. Eine Herausforderung von langangelegten Panelstudien stellt das Wiederauffinden und Motivieren der Teilnehmer dar, dass sie langfristig - {\"u}ber Jahrzehnte - an der Studie partizipieren. Insbesondere wird daher nach den Ausfallgr{\"u}nden gefragt. Um eine untersuchte Alterskohorte als repr{\"a}sentativ f{\"u}r einen Jahrgang betrachten zu k{\"o}nnen, ist es notwendig zu {\"u}berpr{\"u}fen, ob und in welchem Ausmaß die Personen, die {\"u}ber einen solchen langen Zeitraum an einer Studie teilgenommen haben, eine herausragend selektive Gruppe darstellen. Um dies zu {\"u}berpr{\"u}fen, werden ausgew{\"a}hlte soziodemografische Merkmale der Stichprobe der Erhebung 2012 (1.359 Teilnehmende) mit den entsprechenden Verteilungen des SOEP 2012 und des Mikrozensus 2012 verglichen.

  abstract  = {Due to their multifunctionality, tablets offer tremendous advantages for research on handwriting dynamics or for interactive use of learning apps in schools. Further, the widespread use of tablet computers has had a great impact on handwriting in the current generation. But, is it advisable to teach how to write and to assess handwriting in pre- and primary schoolchildren on tablets rather than on paper? Since handwriting is not automatized before the age of 10 years, children's handwriting movements require graphomotor and visual feedback as well as permanent control of movement execution during handwriting. Modifications in writing conditions, for instance the smoother writing surface of a tablet, might influence handwriting performance in general and in particular those of non-automatized beginning writers. In order to investigate how handwriting performance is affected by a difference in friction of the writing surface, we recruited three groups with varying levels of handwriting automaticity: 25 preschoolers, 27 second graders, and 25 adults. We administered three tasks measuring graphomotor abilities, visuomotor abilities, and handwriting performance (only second graders and adults). We evaluated two aspects of handwriting performance: the handwriting quality with a visual score and the handwriting dynamics using online handwriting measures [e.g., writing duration, writing velocity, strokes and number of inversions in velocity (NIV)]. In particular, NIVs which describe the number of velocity peaks during handwriting are directly related to the level of handwriting automaticity. In general, we found differences between writing on paper compared to the tablet. These differences were partly task-dependent. The comparison between tablet and paper revealed a faster writing velocity for all groups and all tasks on the tablet which indicates that all participants—even the experienced writers—were influenced by the lower friction of the tablet surface. Our results for the group-comparison show advancing levels in handwriting automaticity from preschoolers to second graders to adults, which confirms that our method depicts handwriting performance in groups with varying degrees of handwriting automaticity. We conclude that the smoother tablet surface requires additional control of handwriting movements and therefore might present an additional challenge for learners of handwriting.},
