Our study assessed instructional practices geared towards individualization in German third grade reading lessons by combining self-report data from 621 students, from their teachers (n = 57), and live obser-vations. We then investigated the reliability of these different approaches to measuring individualization as well as the agreement between them. All three approaches yielded reliable indicators of individualized practices, but not all of them corresponded with each other. We found considerable agreement between students and observers, but neither agreed with teachers' self-reports. Upon closer examination, we found that students' ratings only correlated with teacher ratings that were provided close to the timepoint of interest. This correlation increased when teacher measures were corrected for response tendencies. We conclude with some recommendations for future studies that aim to measure individualized instruction in the classroom.}, language = {en} } @article{DumontNeumannNagyetal.2013, author = {Dumont, Hanna and Neumann, Marko and Nagy, Gabriel and Becker, Michael and Rose, Norman and Trautwein, Ulrich}, title = {Class composition Effects in non-academic lower secondary school tracks in the state of Baden-W{\"u}rttemberg}, series = {Psychologie in Erziehung und Unterricht : Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Forschung und Praxis}, volume = {60}, journal = {Psychologie in Erziehung und Unterricht : Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Forschung und Praxis}, number = {3}, publisher = {Reinhardt}, address = {M{\"u}nchen}, issn = {0342-183X}, doi = {10.2378/peu2013.art16d}, pages = {198 -- 213}, year = {2013}, abstract = {The study investigates the effects of classroom composition (average ability, achievement, and socio-economic background, proportion of immigrant students) on the development in mathematics achievement, and reading literacy from grade 5 to 6.

After controlling for school type, and between-school differences in student intake characteristics, none of the compositional characteristics showed a statistically significant effect on achievement development.

After defining the term composition effect, methodological aspects regarding the study of composition effects are considered. International and national evidence for the composition of a student body with respect to students' abilities, social, and ethnic background is then presented. Whereas international studies find evidence for social, ethnic, and achievement composition variables, national studies reveal that mean achievement level of a school or class is the most important composition variable in Germany. However, this effect is confounded with school track and social composition, which itself exerts a small incremental effect. Ethnic composition, however, does not seem to play an important role. The paper closes with a presentation of the underlying processes of composition effects and a discussion on how the composition of a student body is considered in school governance practices.}, language = {de} }
