Spacing repeated study phases across multiple sessions instead of studying and restudying the learning material in one session only is an effective strategy to promote lasting learning. However, most studies demonstrating the spacing effect were conducted in the laboratory, using simple verbal material. Learning in educational contexts differs regarding the complexity and coherence of the learning material and concerning the role of motivational and affective learner characteristics. Studies conducted in educational contexts suggest that the spacing effect is not as robust here. For example, acquiring mathematical skills or nonrepeated, consecutive information does not reliably benefit from spacing. After an overview of studies addressing the spacing effect in the laboratory and in educational contexts, we discuss various open questions that need to be addressed by future research before recommending spacing as a learning strategy to promote meaningful and lasting learning at schools and universities.
Teacher collaboration is an important feature of job satisfaction and self-efficacy for teachers.
Moreover, the collaboration of teachers is important for adopting professional changes as professional development (PD) activities that include opportunities for collaboration have been shown to support teachers in improving classroom practice.
This may even lead to higher student performance.
Situated in the context of the Advanced Placement (AP) reform in the United States, we investigated the perceived importance of opportunities to collaborate with colleagues as a rationale to participate in PD (N = 3,725 teachers).
The opportunity to collaborate with colleagues was a primary rationale why teachers selected PD activities.
While this rationale is only slightly related to school and teacher characteristics, it was related to PD characteristics.
Specifically, opportunities to collaborate with colleagues were important to teachers in selecting informal face-to-face (FtF) PD activities.
We conclude that collaborative structures benefit all forms of teacher professional development.
Robust research continues to broaden and deepen the field's understanding of immigrants' ethnic-racial identity and mental health.
We highlight opportunities to pioneer the literature by questioning "who" is meant by immigrant (clearly defining generational status, going beyond covariate and difference -based approaches, focusing on immigrants from under-studied ethnic-racial backgrounds), "what" is meant by iden-tity (ethnic/heritage/native, conjoined with multiple identities such as national, regional, politicized), "where" experiences are taking place (globalization, differences in how immigrants are defined and viewed across contexts), and the "why" or importance of continuing this work (identity as resilience against mental health risks).
Targeting under-researched in-tersections among the "who-what-where-why" can build knowledge and insight for researchers and practitioners who work with immigrant families, and perhaps for immigrants themselves.
Cities and other human settlements are major contributors to climate change and are highly vulnerable to its impacts. They are also uniquely positioned to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lead adaptation efforts. These compound challenges and opportunities require a comprehensive perspective on the public policy of human settlements. Drawing on core literature that has driven debate around cities and climate over recent decades, we put forward a set of boundary objects that can be applied to connect the knowledge of epistemic communities and support an integrated urbanism. We then use these boundary objects to develop the Goals-Intervention-Stakeholder-Enablers (GISE) framework for a public policy of human settlements that is both place-specific and provides insights and tools useful for climate action in cities and other human settlements worldwide. Using examples from Berlin, we apply this framework to show that climate mitigation and adaptation, public health, and well-being goals are closely linked and mutually supportive when a comprehensive approach to urban public policy is applied.
Die Schulinspektion evaluiert Schulen mit dem Ziel der Qualitätssicherung von Unterrichts- und Schulqualität.
Dies gilt insbesondere für Schulen, an denen „erheblicher Entwicklungsbedarf“ festgestellt wurde.
Diese Schulen bekommen zusätzliche Unterstützung, erfahren aber auch zusätzlichen Druck durch diese Einordnung.
Die weitere Entwicklung dieser Schulen ist bisher kaum erforscht. Diese Studie untersucht mit Daten der Schulinspektion, der amtlichen Statistik und Leistungsdaten von 333 Berliner Grundschulen Veränderungen in Indikatoren der Unterrichts- und Schulqualität, der Schulleistung, und der Zusammensetzung der Schülerschaft (SES und Anteil mit nicht-deutscher Herkunftssprache) nach der Diagnose „erheblicher Entwicklungsbedarf“.
Die empirischen Analysen zeigten, dass sich bei diesen Schulen die Unterrichts- und Schulqualität nur geringfügig veränderte, sich der Leistungsabstand zu allen anderen Grundschulen nicht statistisch signifikant verringerte, und sich die Zusammensetzung der Schülerschaft hinsichtlich des sozioökonomischen Status (SES) nicht veränderte. Jedoch erhöhte sich der Anteil von Kindern mit nicht-deutscher Herkunftssprache statistisch signifikant.
The literature on social inequality in study abroad almost exclusively focuses on university students.
This paper systematically examines the role of socioeconomic status (SES) for study abroad intent (SAI) and uptake across all levels of pre-college education in Japan, thereby also providing a first in-depth empirical study on pre-college study abroad (PSA) in this country.
Drawing on theories of social inequality (especially the effectively main-tained inequality (EMI) thesis) in combination with elements from cumulative advantage and life course research, we understand the intention and final decision to study abroad as an outcome of SES-specific differ-ences in educational biographies, with higher SES families seeking transnational education for their children to achieve status advantages.
Using large-scale cross-sectional data for Japan (N = 15,450) for children aged three to eighteen years, binary and generalized ordered logit regressions show that children from high SES families are generally more likely to (1) express SAI (especially for college) and take up PSA; and (2) choose more exclusive forms of PSA, i.e. earlier and more lengthy stays. Findings further indicate that (3) the SES-gap in the likelihood to show SAI or take up PSA is highest at the pre-and high school levels.
Applying the KHB method we found that (4) the percentage of SES effects on SAI mediated through earlier PSA experience is marginal or even reversed at times. We conclude that early PSA experience is positively related to further SAI, with high SES students likely accumulating transnational human capital to a greater extent, possibly acquiring status advantages.
In sum, our results support the EMI and cumulative advantage perspectives, indicating undetected first-and second-level horizontal inequalities in Japanese education and call for similar research in other national contexts.
This study investigates alternatively certified (AC) teachers' motives for teaching, their well-being, and their intention to stay in the profession.
We conducted multivariate covariance analyses using a largescale dataset of 446 traditionally certified (TC) teachers and 143 AC teachers at secondary schools in Germany. Findings show that AC teachers reported more frequently than TC teachers that they chose teaching due to social influences and because of more time for their family. Furthermore, AC teachers report significantly higher enthusiasm for teaching.
No differences were found regarding emotional exhaustion or the intention to stay in the profession.
As school learning should enable people to self-determine their own lives, its long-lasting relevance for participation in further education is an essential outcome. Contemporary adult education research shows that beliefs and memories from one's school years have an impact on the motivation to pursue further education in working life.
However, almost no longitudinal research exists that investigates the long-term forces behind adults' motivation to educate themselves. Hence, the present study examined whether students' learning-related behaviour, cognitions and emotions that developed in their school years are related to the subjective value they place on further education, their expectations of success in solving further learning tasks, and thus the likelihood of participating in further education. Corresponding structural equation analyses on data from the German panel study LifE (n = 1,110) revealed that the learning behaviour, ability self-concept and test anxiety at the age of 12, along with their individual change between the ages of 12 and 16, are associated in different ways with the attainment value and subjective costs placed on further education and expectations of success at the age of 35.
In contrast, no influence of youth characteristics on the likelihood of participating in further education could be found. The findings indicate that especially the development of learning-related cognitions and emotions in secondary school is sustainably related to the individual's success expectancy and achievement value of further education. Long-term dependencies should be further investigated with regard to academic domains and socio-economic pathways.
Video-based reflection in teacher education: comparing virtual reality and real classroom videos
(2022)
While previous studies have examined the use of real-world classroom videos to support the development of student teachers' reflective skills, there has been little research to date on the use of virtual reality (VR) videos in teacher education to provide opportunities for authentic reflec-tion.
This mixed-methods study investigated changes in reflection-related self-efficacy and dif-ferences in written reflection processes using a quasi-experimental design with two types of reflection stimuli.
One group of 46 student teachers used a VR-based video to reflect on in-struction while another group of 23 student teachers used a real classroom video.
We found an increase in reflection-related self-efficacy over time among participants in the VR group only. We also found that VR videos triggered similar reflection processes to real classroom videos.
This study shows, for the first time, that video-based reflection on VR classroom videos produced comparable results to reflection on real classroom videos. This indicates that VR can be used successfully in teacher education and that it offers a useful learning tool for teacher education programs.
Shadow education has become part of mass schooling in many societies. Against the background of the continuing expansion of formal education and the persistence of educational and social inequalities, the growing influence of shadow education begs major implications for the postulated goal of equality in educational opportunities. This chapter addresses this issue both theoretically and empirically, focusing on the following question: What is the relationship between the continuous growth of SE across the world and the persistence of social inequality in educational attainment? First, existing findings on the topic are reviewed before I draw on and expand neo-institutionalist and social reproduction theories to incorporate SE, thereby identifying the universal causes for the inevitable expansion of SE and its relation to social inequality across the world. Finally, policy implications and future research directions are discussed. The results of this analysis indicate that even though there exist tremendous differences in the effects of family background on SE use in different regions and systems of education across the world, SE always feeds into the broader institutionalization of education and its role for social stratification. SE might occupy a key role in maintaining vertical and horizontal inequalities in educational attainment in schooled societies, which continue to struggle with inequity of educational opportunities and outcomes in spite of massive educational expansion at the higher education levels and more equity in educational opportunities.
Several lines of research have demonstrated spatial-numerical associations in both adults and children, which are thought to be based on a spatial representation of numerical information in the form of a mental number line. The acquisition of increasingly precise mental number line representations is assumed to support arithmetic learning in children. It is further suggested that sensorimotor experiences shape the development of number concepts and arithmetic learning, and that mental arithmetic can be characterized as “motion along a path” and might constitute shifts in attention along the mental number line. The present study investigated whether movements in physical space influence mental arithmetic in primary school children, and whether the expected effect depends on concurrency of body movements and mental arithmetic. After turning their body towards the left or right, 48 children aged 8 to 10 years solved simple subtraction and addition problems. Meanwhile, they either walked or stood still and looked towards the respective direction. We report a congruency effect between body orientation and operation type, i.e., higher performance for the combinations leftward orientation and subtraction and rightward orientation and addition. We found no significant difference between walking and looking conditions. The present results suggest that mental arithmetic in children is influenced by preceding sensorimotor cues and not necessarily by concurrent body movements.

Background:
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a complex developmental genetic disorder associated with intellectual disability and deficits in executive functions which result in disorganisation and poor personal autonomy.
Aims:
This study aimed to determine impairments in planning skills of adults with PWS, in relation with their intellectual disabilities, as well as the influence of food compulsions on their performance.
Methods and procedures:
A modified version of the Zoo Map from the Behavioural Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome was used in three groups: a group of adults with PWS in comparison with two groups both matched on chronological age, one with typical development (TD) and one with intellectual disability (ID).
Outcomes and results:
Compared to TD adults, both adults with PWS and ID showed increased planning time and lower raw scores on the planning task. The execution time and the number of errors were higher in the PWS group compared to the comparison groups. All three groups performed worse in the non-food condition only for number of errors and raw score.
Conclusions and implications:
Planning abilities were impaired in PWS adults. Results also showed that intellectual level plays a role in participants' performance. These findings are essential to understand the difficulties of people with PWS daily life.
Motivational profiles across domains and academic choices within Eccles et al.’s situated expectancy
(2021)
This longitudinal person-centered study aimed to identify profiles of subjective task values and ability self-concepts of adolescents in the domain of mathematics, English, biology, and physics in Grades 10 and 12. We were interested in gendered changes of profile membership, and in relations between profile membership and educational and occupational outcomes in adulthood. Data were drawn from the Michigan Study of Adolescent and Adult Life Transitions. We focused on students who participated in the data collection in Grades 10 and 12 (N = 911; 56.1% female; M-age = 16.49, SD = .63; 91.2% European American, 4.6% African American, and 2.1% other ethnic groups such as Hispanic, Asian, Native American). Data on subsequent college majors were assessed 2, 6, and 10 years after finishing high school and data on occupational outcomes was assessed up to 22 years after high school. Using Latent Profile Analyses, our findings revealed five profiles in grade 10 and four profiles in grade 12, which were meaningfully related to student gender. Latent Transition Analyses showed that motivational beliefs became more hierarchical over time. Gendered changes in profile membership occurred, with boys experiencing a process of specialization into mathematics domains. We were also able to show that gender-specific intraindividual hierarchies of motivational beliefs were related to gender-specific specialization processes in adolescence and to subsequent gendered choices throughout the life course.
Providing students with efficient instruction tailored to their individual characteristics in the cognitive and affective domains is an important goal in research on computer-based learning. This is especially important when seeking to enhance students' learning experience, such as by counteracting boredom, a detrimental emotion for learning. However, studies comparing instructional strategies triggered by either cognitive or emotional characteristics are surprisingly scarce. In addition, little research has examined the impact of these types of instructional strategies on performance and boredom trajectories within a lesson. In the present study, we compared the effectiveness of an intelligent tutoring system that adapted variable levels of hint details to a combination of students' dynamic, self-reported emotions and task performance (i.e., the experimental condition) to a traditional hint delivery approach consisting of a progressive, incremental supply of details following students' failures (i.e., the control condition). Linear mixed models of time-related changes in task performance and the intensity of boredom over two 1-h sessions showed that students (N = 104) in the two conditions exhibited equivalent progression in task performance and similar trajectories in boredom intensity. However, a consideration of students' achievement levels in the analyses (i.e., their final performance on the task) revealed that higher achievers in the experimental condition showed a reduction in boredom during the first session, suggesting possible benefits of using emotional information to increase the contingency of the hint delivery strategy and improve students’ learning experience.
One of the main challenges of education in modern societies is to effectively address the variability of students in academic learning settings. Students vary in terms of their individual learning preconditions, such as achievement and preknowledge, but also motivation and emotion. Teachers, in turn, have limited resources to provide each learner with individually tailored instruction. This research overview reviews research on artificially intelligent teaching assistants and their role in providing adaptive learning opportunities in relation to learners’ heterogeneous individual learning preconditions in the field of motivation and emotion.
Digitale Medien erlangen eine zunehmende Bedeutung für die Gestaltung von unterrichtlichen Lehr- und Lernprozessen (KMK, 2021; Scheiter, 2021). Die erfolgreiche Integration digitaler Medien und die qualitätsvolle Gestaltung digitalgestützten Unterrichts ist dabei abhängig von den digitalen Kompetenzen der beteiligten Lehrkräfte (KMK, 2021; Lachner et al., 2020). Lehrkräftefortbildungen zu Themen digitaler Medien sind in diesem Kontext von großer Relevanz. Die Teilnahme an Fortbildungen zu digitalen Themen kann zur Förderung der (selbsteingeschätzten) digitalen Kompetenzen sowie des digitalgestützten Unterrichts beitragen (KMK, 2021; SWK, 2022). Die Zusammenhänge zwischen Lehrkräftefortbildungen, Kompetenzen und Handeln von Lehrkräften werden auf theoretischer Ebene im Modell der Determinanten und Konsequenzen der professionellen Kompetenz von Lehrkräften nach Kunter et al. (2011) beschrieben. Allerdings ist bislang ungeklärt, inwiefern die für allgemeine Lehrkräftefortbildungen formulierten Zusammenhänge auch auf den digitalen Kontext übertragbar sind. Bisher weisen nur wenige empirische Ergebnisse darauf hin, dass digitalbezogene Lehrkräftefortbildungen mit selbsteingeschätzten digitalen Kompetenzen (z. B. Mayer et al., 2021; Ning et al., 2022; Reisoğlu, 2022) und dem digitalgestützten Unterrichtshandeln zusammenhängen (z. B. Alt, 2018; Gisbert Cervera & Lázaro Cantabrana, 2015). Eine zentrale Rolle für qualitätsvolles Unterrichtshandeln spielen die Handlungskompetenzen von Lehrkräften (Kunter et al., 2011). Auch im digitalen Kontext sind (selbsteingeschätzte) Kompetenzen von Lehrkräften für das unterrichtliche Handeln mit digitalen Medien relevant (z. B. Hatlevik, 2017; Spiteri & Rundgren, 2020). Eine systematische Darstellung von Kompetenzen von Lehrkräften für den unterrichtsbezogenen Einsatz digitaler Medien leistet der European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu; Redecker & Punie, 2017). Jedoch liegen bisher nur wenige empirische Forschungsarbeiten zur Validierung dieses Rahmenmodells vor (z. B. Antonietti et al., 2022). Dabei bietet das DigCompEdu-Modell im Vergleich zu anderen Kompetenzmodellen wie beispielsweise dem Modell des Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK; Mishra & Koehler, 2006) einen differenzierten Blick auf verschiedene Kompetenzdimensionen.
Die aufgezeigten Forschungslücken aufnehmend, befasst sich die vorliegende Dissertation mit den Faktoren, die zu einer hohen Unterrichtsqualität im digitalgestützten Unterricht beitragen. Die drei empirischen Studien dieser Dissertation behandeln aus verschiedenen Perspektiven die Zusammenhänge zwischen der Teilnahme an digitalbezogenen Lehrkräftefortbildungen, den selbsteingeschätzten digitalen Kompetenzen von Lehrkräften und der selbstberichteten digitalgestützten Unterrichtsqualität. Die Studien orientieren sich dabei theoriegeleitet an den Annahmen des Modells der Determinanten und Konsequenzen der professionellen Kompetenz von Lehrkräften nach Kunter et al. (2011).
Studie 1 widmet sich der Frage, inwieweit die Teilnahme an digitalbezogenen Fortbildungen und Lehrkräftekooperationen im digitalen Kontext mit selbsteingeschätzten digitalen Kompetenzen, Interesse am digitalgestützten Unterrichten und qualitätsvollem Unterrichten mit digitalen Medien zusammenhängen. Die Ergebnisse manifester Pfadmodelle verdeutlichen, dass die Teilnahme an digitalbezogenen Fortbildungen und Kooperationen mit hohen digitalen Kompetenzen, einem hohen Interesse am digitalgestützten Unterrichten und einem selbstberichteten häufigen Einsatz digitaler Medien zur Umsetzung qualitätsvollen Unterrichtens (kognitive Aktivierung und Individualisierung) einhergingen. Digitalgestütztes Unterrichtshandeln wurde in bisherigen empirischen Studien vorrangig über die Nutzungshäufigkeit digitaler Medien im Unterricht erhoben, welche jedoch keine Rückschlüsse auf die Qualität des Einsatzes zulässt (Lachner et al., 2020; Scheiter, 2021). Der qualitätsvolle Einsatz digitaler Medien entlang der drei generischen Basisdimensionen (Klieme et al., 2009) wird daher in allen drei Studien der Dissertation berücksichtigt. In Studie 1 konnte zudem gezeigt werden, dass die selbsteingeschätzten digitalen Kompetenzen im Bereich TPACK die querschnittlichen Zusammenhänge zwischen der Teilnahmehäufigkeit von Lehrkräften an digitalbezogenen Fortbildungen und der Nutzungshäufigkeit digitaler Medien zur Umsetzung von kognitiver Aktivierung und Individualisierung vermitteln.
In Studie 2 wurden Skalen zur Erfassung selbsteingeschätzter digitaler Kompetenzen basierend auf dem DigCompEdu-Modell entwickelt und getestet. Konkret wurde dabei die Kompetenzdimension der Lernerorientierung mit den Subdimensionen Differenzierung und Aktive Einbindung von Schüler*innen in den Blick genommen. Die Ergebnisse der durchgeführten Strukturgleichungsmodellierungen legen eine bifaktorielle Faktorstruktur nahe, die sowohl die zwei theoretisch angenommenen Subdimensionen repräsentiert als auch einen generellen Faktor beinhaltet, der sich als übergreifende Lernerorientierung interpretiert lässt. Die selbsteingeschätzten digitalen Kompetenzen in Bereich der Lernerorientierung standen in signifikant positivem Zusammenhang mit dem selbstberichteten Einsatz digitaler Medien zur selbstberichteten Umsetzung qualitätsvollen Unterrichtshandelns (Klassenführung, kognitive Aktivierung und konstruktive Unterstützung).
Studie 3 führt die Themenfelder der Fortbildungen und der Kompetenzen im digitalen Kontext zusammen und befasst sich mit dem Zusammenhang zwischen Fortbildungsthemen und digitalen Kompetenzen. Ergebnisse von Pfadmodellierungen zeigen, dass die Teilnahme an digitalbezogenen Fortbildungen zu den technologisch-pädagogisch-inhaltlichen Themen „Computergestützte Förderung der Schüler*innen“ und „Fachspezifische Unterrichtsentwicklung mit digitalen Medien“ mit dem selbstberichteten qualitätsvollen Einsatz digitaler Medien zur kognitiven Aktivierung und konstruktiven Unterstützung einhergehen. Diese Befunde stärken die Annahme, dass Lehrkräfte für einen qualitätsvollen Einsatz digitaler Medien sowohl technologische als auch pädagogisch didaktische Kompetenzen benötigen (Lipowsky & Rzejak, 2021; Mishra & Koehler, 2006; Scheiter & Lachner, 2019) und Fortbildungen folglich technologische mit unterrichtspraktischen Inhalten kombinieren sollten (Bonnes et al., 2022). Zudem zeigt die Studie basierend auf den theoretischen Annahmen von Kunter et al. (2011), dass selbsteingeschätzte digitale Kompetenzen von Lehrkräften die Zusammenhänge zwischen der Teilnahmehäufigkeit an digitalbezogenen Fortbildungen und der selbstberichteten digitalgestützten Unterrichtsqualität vermittelten.
In der abschließenden Gesamtdiskussion der Dissertation werden die Befunde vor dem Hintergrund des dargelegten Forschungsstandes und hinsichtlich der Forschungslücken diskutiert und auf Grundlage der Befunde der drei Studien forschungs- und praxisrelevante Implikationen abgeleitet.
