When it comes to teacher attitudes towards teaching and learning, research relies heavily on explicit measures (e.g., questionnaires). These attitudes are generally conceptualized as constructivist and transmissive views on teaching and learning with constructivism often considered to be more desirable. In explicit measures, this can have drawbacks like socially desirable responding. It is for this reason that, in this study, we investigated implicit attitudes as well as explicit attitudes towards constructivism and transmission. N = 100 preservice teachers worked on a questionnaire and two Single-Target Implicit Association Tests (ST-IAT constructivism and ST-IAT transmission) before (T1) and after (T2) a single master’s semester. One group (n = 50) did student teaching while a second group (n = 50) took master’s courses. We evaluated preservice teachers’ views on teaching at the end of their masters’ studies. Participants agreed with transmission and constructivism (T1) on both an explicit and implicit level. Implicit measures seem to exceed explicit measures in differentially assessing constructivist and transmissive views on teaching and learning. After student teaching (T2), there was no overall effect of attitude development but changes in rank indicate that participants’ implicit attitudes towards constructivism and transmission developed differently for each individual.

Die vorliegende Dissertationsschrift gibt einen Einblick in die Einflüsse universitärer und schulischer Lerngelegenheiten des Schulpraktikums (Praxissemester) im Rahmen des lehramtsbezogenen Masterstudiums auf den Erwerb professioneller Kompetenzen. Darüber hinaus werden Einflüsse zuvor angebotener Kurse der Fachwissenschaften, Fachdidaktiken und Bildungswissenschaften aufgezeigt. Grundlage bilden Querschnitts- und Längsschnittserhebungen an der Universität Potsdam. Im Speziellen werden wesentliche Einflüsse des schulischen Einstiegs ins Praktikum, der universitären Vorbereitungskurse, der schulischen und universitären Unterrichtsbesprechungen, der mentoriellen Unterstützung an der Schule sowie der Abschlussgespräche durch die Ausbildungslehrkraft und die Schulleitung aufgezeigt. Die Ergebnisse werden anhand der Theorie diskutiert sowie im Blick auf die Qualifizierung von Ausbildungslehrkräften und die Nützlichkeit von Lerngelegenheiten diskutiert.
