  abstract  = {It is well-documented that academic achievement is associated with students' self-perceptions of their academic abilities, that is, their academic self-concepts. However, low-achieving students may apply self-protective strategies to maintain a favorable academic self-concept when evaluating their academic abilities. Consequently, the relation between achievement and academic self-concept might not be linear across the entire achievement continuum. Capitalizing on representative data from three large-scale assessments (i.e., TIMSS, PIRLS, PISA; N = 470,804), we conducted an integrative data analysis to address nonlinear trends in the relations between achievement and the corresponding self-concepts in mathematics and the verbal domain across 13 countries and 2 age groups (i.e., elementary and secondary school students). Polynomial and interrupted regression analyses showed nonlinear relations in secondary school students, demonstrating that the relations between achievement and the corresponding self-concepts were weaker for lower achieving students than for higher achieving students. Nonlinear effects were also present in younger students, but the pattern of results was rather heterogeneous. We discuss implications for theory as well as for the assessment and interpretation of self-concept.},

  abstract  = {Die vorliegende Studie besch{\"a}ftigt sich mit dem nach einer Strukturver{\"a}nderung in der Sekundarstufe I entstandenen Schulmodell der Neuen Mittelschule. Untersucht wird, ob sich durch dieses Schulmodell und der damit intendierten neuen Lehr-, Lern- und Pr{\"u}fungskultur Zusammenh{\"a}nge zwischen gemessenen mathematischen Kompetenzen der Sch{\"u}ler und den durch Lehrer vergebenen Jahresnoten feststellen lassen. Die Literaturrecherche macht deutlich, dass die Kritik an der Monokultur des leh-rerzentrierten Unterrichts zwar zu einer neuen Lehr-, Lern- und Pr{\"u}fungskultur f{\"u}hrt, deren Inhalte sind aber recht unterschiedlich, komplex und nicht eindeutig definiert. In der NMS soll die Leistungsbewertung als Lernhilfe fungieren, aber auch verl{\"a}ssliche Aussagen {\"u}ber die Leistung der Sch{\"u}ler treffen. Zur Wirkung der neuen Lernkultur in der NMS gibt es ebenso keine empirischen Befunde wie {\"u}ber die Wirkung der Leistungsbewertung. An der empirischen Untersuchung nehmen 79 Sch{\"u}ler der sechsten Schulstufe aus drei Neuen Mittelschulen (dicht besiedelte, mittel besiedelte, d{\"u}nn besiedelte Gemeinde) in Nieder{\"o}sterreich teil. In jeder Schule werden zwei Klassen untersucht. Dabei werden der Kompetenzstand in Mathematik, Sch{\"u}lerzentriertheit sowie Sozial- und Leistungsdruck aus Sicht der Sch{\"u}ler gemeinsam mit der Jah-resnote erhoben. F{\"u}r die Studie wird ein Pfadmodell entwickelt und mit einer Pfadanalyse ausge-wertet. Dabei zeigen sich zwar Zusammenh{\"a}nge zwischen den gemessenen Kompetenzen in Mathematik und den Jahresnoten. Diese Jahresnoten besitzen {\"u}ber die Klasse bzw. die Schule hinaus aber nur eine bedingte Aussagekraft {\"u}ber die erbrachten Leistungen.},

  abstract  = {Four topics were investigated in this longitudinal person-centered study: (a) profiles of subjective task values and ability self-concepts of adolescents in the domain of mathematics, (b) the stability of and changes to the profiles of motivational beliefs from Grade 7 to 12, (c) the relation of changes to student-perceived classroom characteristics, and (d) the extent to which profile membership in early adolescence predicted mathematics achievement and career plans in late adolescence and the choice of math-related college majors and occupations in adulthood. Data were drawn from the Michigan Study of Adolescent and Adult Life Transitions Study. We focused on students who participated in the following 4 waves of data collection (N = 867): at the beginning of Grade 7 (Wave 3), at the end of Grade 7, in Grade 10 (Wave 5), and in Grade 12 (Wave 6). Four profiles that were stable across Grades 7 to 12 were identified using Latent Profile Analysis. Student-reported fairness and friendliness and competition in class predicted changes in profile membership. Profile membership in Grade 7 predicted math-related career plans in Grade 12. Profile membership in Grade 12 predicted the choice of math-related college major after finishing school and of math-related occupations in adulthood.},
