JF - International Journal of Educational Research N2 - Germany is continuously expanding its inclusive education system. Research provides evidence that students with special educational needs (SEN) in inclusive school settings show lower academic achievement and come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds than their peers without SEN. Identifying to what extent the disadvantages originating from both characteristics are confounded in predicting academic achievement, has been neglected in the German educational context. Using data of 1711 primary and secondary school students from a longitudinal study in the state of Brandenburg, this study evaluates to what degree SEN (in the areas of learning and emotional-social difficulties) and socioeconomic background (SES) are confounded in predicting academic initial achievement in reading and mathematics as well as their development over time. Using multilevel modelling techniques that nest three measurement points into students and students into classes, results identify SES and SEN as relevant predictors of achievement status and growth in both subjects. Only few and small mediation effects of SES were found, indicating that both SES and SEN remain independent risk factors for achievement. Understanding the origins of student disadvantage can help teachers to make better informed choices for designing support measures and aid policymakers' reasoning for resource allocations.

Sixth- and seventh-graders of 44 inclusive classes filled out a questionnaire at two measurement points within one school year to assess attitudes towards inclusive education and peer relations. Applying multilevel regression analyses it turned out that changes in peer relations over time were positively predicted by students' attitudes towards instructional adaptations for students with behaviour difficulties. Further, students with self-perceived behavior difficulties reported lower scores for peer relations compared to students without self-perceived difficulties. Results are discussed with respect to structural factors and individual characteristics affecting inclusive education.

Es zeigen sich starke Übereinstimmungen in der Vorstellung von aufeinanderfolgenden Kompetenzniveaus, wobei in allen Modellen drei Niveaus auftreten: 1) noch nicht lautgetreue Schreibungen, 2) lautgetreue Schreibungen und 3) orthographisch korrekte Schreibungen. Die Kriterien, auf Basis derer ein Kind dem jeweiligen Niveau zugeordnet wird, bleiben jedoch vage. Ebenso fehlt eine umfassende empirische Überprüfung der Modelle. Die vorliegende Längsschnittstudie untersuchte zu drei Messzeitpunkten (Anfang Klasse 2, Ende Klasse 2, Ende Klasse 3) die Schreibungen von N = 697 Grundschulkinder mit standardisierten Rechtschreibtests. Mittels latenter Transitionsanalyse wurden drei Profile identifiziert: 1) Überwiegend nicht lautgetreu 2) Überwiegend lautgetreu und 3) Überwiegend korrekt. Auch die durchlaufenen Pfade und Übergangswahrscheinlichkeiten stützen die angenommene hierarchische Struktur der Modelle. N2 - Related to the German language, there exists a variety of theoretical models to describe the development of orthographical competence of primary school students. When comparing these models, similarities were identified regarding the concept of consecutive levels of competence. In each of the models three levels were hypothesized: 1) no phonemic spelling yet, 2) phonemic spelling, and 3) orthographically correct spelling. However, the criteria on which basis a child is assigned to a respective level remain vague. Likewise, empirical validation of the models is missing. In the present study, spelling competency of N = 697 primary school students was assessed using standardized spelling tests at three measurement time points (begin of grade 2, end of grade 2, end of grade 3). By applying latent transition analysis, three profiles of development were identified: 1) predominantly no phonemic, 2) predominantly phonemic and 3) predominantly orthographical correct. In accordance to the theoretical assumptions, the traversed paths and probabilities of transitions supported the hierarchical structure of the levels of competence.

Um diese zu analysieren, wurden in der vorliegenden Studie Schreibungen von 607 Schülerinnen und Schülern zu drei Messzeitpunkten (Anfang Klasse 2, Ende Klasse 2, Ende Klasse 3) untersucht. Zur Bestimmung des Rechtschreibkompetenzniveaus wurden Schülerinnen und Schüler mittels latenter Profilanalyse zu den drei Profilen Buchstabenentdeckende (überwiegend nicht lautgetreue Schreibungen), Phonemprofis (überwiegend lautgetreue Schreibungen) und Rechtschreibspezialisten (vor allem korrekte Schreibungen) zugeordnet. Mittels logistischer Regressionen wurde geprüft, welche Zusammenhänge zwischen den individuellen Merkmalen Geschlecht, kognitive Grundfähigkeiten und Arbeitsverhalten und den Zuordnungen zu einem Profil sowie den Wechseln zwischen den Profilen bestehen. Unter Kontrolle des Arbeitsverhaltens zeigten sich keine signifikanten Zusammenhänge mit dem Geschlecht oder der kognitiven Grundfähigkeit. Hingegen konnten bedeutsame Zusammenhänge des Arbeitsverhaltens sowohl mit der Zuordnung zu den Profilen als auch mit den Wechseln zwischen den Profilen Phonemprofis und Rechtschreibspezialisten gefunden werden. N2 - From a theoretical point of view, there are various characteristics influencing the individual development of spelling competence of primary school children. In the present study, 609 students were examined at three measurement points (beginning of class 2, end of class 2, end of class 3). To determine the spelling competence level, latent profile analyses were used to assign the students to three profiles 1) predominantly phonemically incorrect spelling, 2) predominantly phonemically correct spelling and 3) predominantly orthographically correct spelling. Logistic regression analyses included gender, basic cognitive skills, and working behavior as predictors for the assignment to one of the competence levels as well as the change between levels across time. Controlling for working behavior no significant effects of gender or basic cognitive skills are found. However, students’ working behavior significantly influences not only the assignment to the higher levels of spelling competency but also changes between predominantly phonemically correct and predominantly orthographically correct across time.

Insgesamt wurden N = 1436 Schüler der 2. und 3. Jahrgangsstufe mittels Fragebögen zum peerbezogenen Klassenklima, zur Einschätzung der eigenen sozialen Integration, zum Gefühl des Angenommen-Seins durch die Lehrkraft und zur Anzahl ihrer Freundschaften befragt. Mithilfe des Propensity Score Matching-Verfahrens wurden den Schülern mit einem festgestellten SPF in den Bereichen Lernen, emotionale und soziale Entwicklung oder Sprache (N = 91) basierend auf theoretisch und empirisch abgeleiteten Hintergrundvariablen statistische Zwillinge ohne SPF zugeordnet. Zu den Hintergrundvariablen zählten familiäre, leistungs- und verhaltensbezogene Merkmale. Der Vergleich der Schüler mit einem festgestellten SPF mit ihren statistischen Zwillingen ohne SPF lieferte keine Hinweise auf einen Zusammenhang zwischen dem Status eines SPF und der sozialen Partizipation. N2 - The present study examines whether students with and without a special educational needs statement (SEN) differ in their social participation. Data analysis was based on a sample of N = 1436 students in second- and third-grade primary-school classes. Using standardized questionnaires we assessed peer-related classroom climate, self-perceived social integration, number of friends, and feeling of acceptance by the students’ teachers. Propensity score matching was applied to control for differences between students with a SEN statement (N = 91) indicating difficulties in learning, language, or emotional and social development. Controlling for family background, academic achievement, and behavioral aspects revealed no differences in social participation.

The goal of the study was to analyze whether and to what extent students would benefit from the intervention with respect to their own learning. Did their own reading skills improve after they attended the intervention? The sample consisted of n = 61 students who were assigned to one of two conditions: (a) an adaption of reciprocal teaching; and (b) a control group that was not taught how to teach reading strategies. The evidence-based teaching method used in the intervention condition consisted of three elements: modeling, scaffolding, and repeated practice. Training success was assessed in a pre-posttest control group design with standardized reading comprehension and reading speed tests. To compare the development of the students in the two conditions, repeated measures ANOVAs were used. At posttest, intervention students outperformed control students in reading comprehension as well as in reading speed.

A1 - Brunstein, Joachim Clemens T1 - Peer feedback mediates the impact of self-regulation procedures on strategy use and reading comprehension in reciprocal teaching groups JF - Instructional Science N2 - The goal of this research was to highlight the role social regulatory processes play in making students’ teamwork in reciprocal teaching (RT) groups (a classroom activity in which students take the teacher’s role in small group reading sessions) effective. In addition to teamwork quality, we expected peer feedback to be a key factor in enhancing students’ reading comprehension achievements. Because previous research (Schünemann et al. in Contemp Educ Psychol 38:289–305, 2013) has shown that procedures of self-regulated learning (SRL) augment the effects of RT methods, we further assumed that such procedures would promote the quality of students’ collaborative efforts. In a cluster-randomized trial, students in 12 fifth-grade classes practiced a strategic approach to reading either in a RT condition or in a RT + SRL condition. In one of the 14 sessions, students’ interactive behavior was videotaped. Strategy use and reading comprehension were assessed at pretest, posttest, and maintenance. Performance differences between conditions were reliable only at maintenance. A multilevel mediation analysis showed that relative to RT students, RT + SRL students were better able to provide their teammates with informative feedback and organize their group work in a task-focused manner. Only feedback quality mediated the sustainability of treatment effects on strategy use and reading comprehension. In essence, this research suggests that effective reading comprehension trainings should integrate explicit instruction and practice in reading strategies, SRL, and focus on supportive peer processes in small groups with extensive instruction and practice in peer feedback.

T1 - A path analytic test of the reading strategies mediation model BT - relating cognitive competences and motivational influences to individual JF - The Journal of Educational Research N2 - This study examined a theoretical model hypothesizing that reading strategies mediate the effects of intrinsic reading motivation, reading fluency, and vocabulary knowledge on reading comprehension. Using path analytic methods, we tested the direct and indirect effects specified in the hypothesized model in a sample of 1105 fifth-graders. In addition to standardized tests and questionnaires, we administered a performance test to assess students' proficiency in the application of three reading strategies. The overall fit of the model to the data was good. Both cognitive (fluency and vocabulary) and motivational (intrinsic reading motivation) variables had an indirect effect on reading comprehension through their influence on reading strategies. Reading strategies had a unique effect on reading comprehension and partially mediated the effects that cognitive and motivational variables had on fifth-graders' reading achievements.
