TY - JOUR A1 - Civitillo, Sauro A1 - Juang, Linda P. A1 - Schachner, Maja Katharina T1 - Challenging beliefs about cultural diversity in education BT - a synthesis and critical review of trainings with pre-service teachers JF - Educational Research Review N2 - Teaching culturally diverse classrooms starts from embracing beliefs that recognise the strengths of cultural diversity. Research is needed to understand how teacher training contributes to shaping pre-service teachers’ beliefs about cultural diversity. Accordingly, the purpose of this review is to 1) provide a description of main components and contextual characteristics of teacher trainings targeting cultural diversity beliefs, 2) report the training effects, and 3) detail the methodological strengths and weaknesses of these studies. A total of 36 studies published between 2005 and 2015 that used a longitudinal assessment of cultural diversity beliefs were reviewed. The collective results of these studies indicate a large variance amongst trainings, with experiential learning shifting cultural diversity beliefs positively. However, existing studies have significant limitations in the study design and training evaluation that hinder their conclusions regarding internal and external validity and point towards new directions for future research.

Aufgrund der geringeren berufsspezifischen Qualifizierung der Quer- und Seiteneinsteiger/innen kann vermutet werden, dass deren Integration in das Kollegium für Schulen häufig mit besonderem Aufwand verbunden ist. Aus diesem Grund soll in diesem Beitrag der Frage nachgegangen werden, an welchen Schularten und welchen Schulen Quereinsteiger/innen eingesetzt werden. Auf Basis der Schulstatistik des Landes Berlin für das Schuljahr 2016/17 wird untersucht, ob sich der Anteil von Referendar/inn/en und Quereinsteiger/inne/n am Lehrerkollegium der Schule in Abhängigkeit von der Komposition der Schülerschaft unterscheidet. Ausgewertet wurden die Daten von 2645 Personen, von denen 901 als Quereinsteigende unterrichten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass ein Großteil der Quereinsteiger/innen an Grundschulen eingesetzt werden und hier insbesondere an solchen, die sich durch eine sozial benachteiligte Schülerschaft auszeichnen. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen die Notwendigkeit einer verstärkten Steuerung in der Zuweisung von Quereinsteiger/innen an Schulen. N2 - Many federal states currently employ teachers without a regular teaching certificate (alternatively certified teachers). To date, little is known about the schools they serve in. It can be assumed that it is highly challenging for schools to integrate new staff members without proper professional training into their faculty. We therefore investigate the characteristics of schools that differ in the percentages of alternatively certified teachers and student teachers. The present study uses official school statistics of the academic year 2016/17 provided by the state of Berlin. The data include information about alternatively certified teachers (Quereinsteiger) and student teachers (Referendare) and the student body of their assigned schools. The sample consists of 2645 individuals including 901 alternatively certified teachers. The data show that alternatively certified teachers are primarily assigned to primary schools with high proportions of socially underprivileged children. The results emphasize the need for an improved mechanism for assigning alternatively qualified teachers to schools.

Using data from 145 teacher educators, two different task perceptions were found: transmitters and facilitators. Teacher educators who were categorized as facilitator tend to demonstrate higher levels of self-efficacy, job satisfaction, constructivist beliefs about teaching and learning and use more effective teaching strategies. The findings demonstrate that teaching practices of teacher educators are rooted in their professional identity. ? 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
