In dieser Untersuchung ergab sich unerwarteterweise ein negativer Zusammenhang zwischen Interesse und Aufmerksamkeit, während gleichzeitig ein positiver Zusammenhang zwischen Interesse und Behalten bestand. Unser Ziel war es, zu prüfen, ob sich dieser erwartungswidrige Befund auch mit einer anderen Stichprobe und anderem Lernmaterial replizieren läßt. Darüber hinaus kontrollierten wir die subjektive Wichtigkeit des Lernmaterials und unterschieden zwischen wörtlicher und bedeutungsorientierter Lernleistung. Die Ergebnisse unserer Studie stimmen weitgehend mit denen von Shirey & Reynolds überein. Abschließend diskutieren wir einige Interpretationsmöglichkeiten der Befunde und geben Hinweise für die weitere Forschung. N2 - This article presents a conceptual replication of an experiment conducted by Shirey & Reynolds (1988). Unexpectedly, these authors have found a negative relation between interest and attention and, at the same time, a positive relation between interest and retention. It was our goal to replicate Shirey & Reynolds' findings with a different sample and different learning materials. In addition, we controlled for the subjective importance of the learning material and distinguished between verbatim and meaning-oriented forms of learning. Our results confirm those of Shirey & Reynolds. Finally, suggestions for interpreting the results and conducting future research are made.

A1 - Fay, Doris A1 - Schiefele, Ulrich A1 - Stutz, Franziska A1 - Wollny, Anna T1 - Being proactive when reading: Academic personal initiative as a predictor of word comprehension development JF - Learning and individual differences N2 - Academic personal initiative (API) has rarely been studied with regard to literacy development. The purpose of this longitudinal study was therefore to examine the unique effects of API on the development of word comprehension as an indicator of word reading. To this end, the effects of previous word comprehension, intrinsic reading motivation, and basic cognitive ability (i.e., processing speed) were controlled for. A total of 1,515 German students participated in a longitudinal assessment starting in Grades 1 to 3, with a second point of measurement nine months later. Latent change score analyses revealed positive associations between API and gains in word comprehension, both in the total sample and at all grade levels. These relations were robust against the effects of previous word comprehension and intrinsic reading motivation. The findings suggest that children play an active role in their own reading development. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Accordingly, empirical findings revealed negative correlations between the frequency of mind wandering during learning and various kinds of learning outcomes (e.g., text retention). However, a few studies have indicated positive effects of mind wandering on creativity in real-world learning environments. The present article reviews these studies and highlights potential benefits of mind wandering for learning mediated through creative processes. Furthermore, we propose various ways to promote useful mind wandering and, at the same time, minimize its negative impact on learning.

The sample comprised 110 teacher-class pairs (1731 students). The results from multilevel regression analyses revealed that teacher educational interest contributed to student reports of teachers' instructional practices. These practices, in turn, were significant predictors of students' subject interest and mastery goals at both the student and the class level. Finally, teacher educational interest showed significant and substantial indirect relations to student motivation that were mediated by teachers’ instructional practices.

Im Mittelpunkt der Analysen standen die Auswirkungen des Methodeninteresses. Auf der Basis eines Fragebogens wurden 20 Pädagogikstudenten zu Beginn eines Methodenseminars für Studienanfänger in zwei Gruppen mit hohem bzw. niedrigem Methodeninteresse geteilt. Die verschiedenen Aspekte methodenspezifischen Wissens wurden acht Wochen später mittels eines Assoziationstests zu neun Stimulusbegriffen erhoben. Die Ergebnisse belegen, daß hohes Interesse zu qualitativen (Inhalt und Struktur), nicht jedoch zu quantitativen Wissensunterschieden (Umfang) führt. N2 - The study examined the relationship between general study interest, specific interest in methodology, achievement motivation (independent variables), and the extent, content, and structure of methodological knowledge for the field of education (dependent variables). The analyses focussed on determining the impact of methodology interest. 20 education majors were divided into two groups at the beginning of an introductory methodology course. One group consisted of students with high interest in methodology and the other with little interest in the topic. Various aspects of knowledge about methodology were assessed eight weeks later, using an word association test containing nine stimulus concepts. The results indicate that high interest leads to qualitative (content and structure), but not to quantitative differences in knowledge (extent).

An der Untersuchung nahmen 298 Studenten verschiedener Studiengänge teil. Ausgehend von einer 27 Items umfassenden Version verblieben aufgrund von Faktorenanalyse und Rasch- Skalierung 18 Items, die eine eindimensionale Skala bilden. Die interne Konsistenz (Alpha) des revidierten FSI beträgt .90, die Test-Retest-Reliabilität .67 (Zeitspanne: 2 Jahre). Zur Prüfung der Validität des revidierten FSI wurde eine Reihe weiterer Variablen erhoben (z.B. intrinsische motivationale Orientierung, Tätigkeitszentrierung, Extraversion, Verwendung von Lernstrategien, Studienleistung). Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß der FSI in ausreichendem Maße konvergente, diskriminante und kriteriumsbezogene Validität besitzt. N2 - This article reports the development of the "Study Interest Questionnaire" (SIQ). A total of 298 university students took part in a study that was designed to test the reliability and validity of the SIQ. The original version of the SIQ included 27 items. On the basis of factor and Rasch analyses we obtained a unidimensional version consisting of 18 items. The revised version of the SIQ showed considerable internal consistency (Alpha = .90) and test-retest reliability (.67; time lag: 2 years). In order to test the convergent, discriminant, concurrent, and predictive validity of the SIQ, a number of additional variables were assessed (e.g., intrinsic motivational orientation, extraversión, use of learning strategies, achievement). The results confirm that the SIQ is a sufficiently valid instrument.

The sample consisted of 278 undergrad- uate science teacher-trainees selected from a large public university in northern Uganda. Data were collected using several scales from the modified Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire, Academic Hope Scale, and College Persistence Questionnaire and analyzed using structural equation modeling. Task value and aca- demic hope significantly predicted students’ persistence. Academic hope made a greater contribution to students’ persistence compared to task value. The combined effect of task value and academic hope did not make any significant contribution to students’ persistence. The study highlights the need to strengthen students’ hopeful think- ing and task value in order to increase their chances of completing their studies. Implications of the study findings for educational practice and for the training of science teacher-trainees are elaborated in the article.
