The analysis of a subset of studies revealed a small non-significant weighted training effect on teachers' cognition (g' = 0.21, SE = 0.14). An effect aggregation including all studies (with 650 teachers) revealed a medium to large weighted overall effect on teachers' classroom practices (g' = 0.71, SE = 0.16). Methodological variables moderated the effect magnitude. Nevertheless, the results suggest professional development is beneficial for improving teachers' practice.}, language = {en} } @article{WestphalKretschmannGronostajetal.2018, author = {Westphal, Andrea and Kretschmann, Julia and Gronostaj, Anna and Vock, Miriam}, title = {More enjoyment, less anxiety and boredom}, series = {Learning and individual differences : a multidisciplinary journal in education}, volume = {62}, journal = {Learning and individual differences : a multidisciplinary journal in education}, publisher = {Elsevier B.V.}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1041-6080}, doi = {10.1016/j.lindif.2018.01.016}, pages = {108 -- 117}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Students' achievement emotions are critical in their academic development. Therefore, teachers need to create an emotionally positive learning environment. In the light of this, the present study investigated the connection between students' enjoyment, anxiety, boredom and, in the first case, students' academic self-concept and, in the second, teachers' diagnostic skills. The third part of our study examined whether this link would be moderated by students' academic self-concept. Our sample comprised N = 1803 eighth-grade students who reported their achievement emotions and evaluated the diagnostic skills of both their German and mathematics teachers. Hierarchical models indicated that students experience more enjoyment and less anxiety and boredom if teachers exhibit better diagnostic skills. The role of teachers' diagnostic skills in relation to students' emotions was in part moderated by the students' self-concept. These results are discussed in terms of their implications for effective teaching.}, language = {en} } @misc{GronostajWernerBochowetal.2016, author = {Gronostaj, Anna and Werner, Elise and Bochow, Eric and Vock, Miriam}, title = {How to learn things at school you don't already know}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Humanwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Humanwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {415}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-405211}, pages = {16}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Skipping a grade, one specific form of acceleration, is an intervention used for gifted students. Quantitative research has shown acceleration to be a highly successful intervention regarding academic achievement, but less is known about the social-emotional outcomes of grade-skipping. In the present study, the authors used the grounded theory approach to examine the experiences of seven gifted students aged 8 to 16 years who skipped a grade. The interviewees perceived their feeling of being in the wrong place before the grade-skipping as strongly influenced by their teachers, who generally did not respond adequately to their needs. We observed a close interrelationship between the gifted students' intellectual fit and their social situation in class. Findings showed that the grade-skipping in most of the cases bettered the situation in school intellectually as well as socially, but soon further interventions, for instance, a specialized and demanding class- or subject-specific acceleration were added to provide sufficiently challenging learning opportunities.}, language = {en} } @article{KalinowskiGronostajVock2019, author = {Kalinowski, Eva and Gronostaj, Anna and Vock, Miriam}, title = {Effective Professional Development for Teachers to Foster Students' Academic Language Proficiency Across the Curriculum}, series = {AERA Open}, volume = {5}, journal = {AERA Open}, number = {1}, publisher = {Sage}, address = {Thousand Oaks}, issn = {2332-8584}, doi = {10.1177/2332858419828691}, pages = {1 -- 23}, year = {2019}, abstract = {This review summarizes features of professional development programs that aim to prepare in-service teachers to improve students' academic language proficiency when teaching subject areas.
