Germany historically responded to student diversity by tracking students into different schools beginning with grade 5. In the last decades, sociopolitical changes, such as an increase in "German-as-a-second-language" speaking students (GSL), have increased diversity in all tracks and have forced schools to consider forms of individualization. This has opened up the scientific debate in Germany on merits and limitations of individualization for different student groups within a tracked system and heterogeneous classes. The aim of the present exploratory study was to examine how individualized teaching (i.e., teacher self-reported individualized teaching practices and individual reference norm orientation) is related to student-perceived teaching quality. Additionally, we considered moderation effects of classroom composition in relation to achievement and proportion of GSL students. Longitudinal data came from 35 mathematics classes with 659 9th and 10th grade students. Results showed significant relation between teacher self-reported individualized teaching practices and individual reference norm orientation and monitoring. Regarding the composition effects, the proportion of GSL students in class moderated the relation between teacher self-reported individual reference norm orientation and cognitive activation. Our findings contribute to the growing body of evidence that classroom composition can differentially impact the relation between teachers' behaviors and students' perceptions of teaching quality.
Effects of social and individual school self-concepts on school engagement during adolescence
(2020)
While school self-concept is an important facilitator of a student's school engagement, previous studies rarely investigated whether it may also explain the change in students' school engagement during secondary school. Moreover, as social relations play an increasingly important role in adolescence, the current research distinguishes between the social and individual school self-concepts of a student. Whereas individual school self-concept uses the perception of a student's own ability in the past in order to estimate perceived current ability, social school self-concept refers to the comparison of a student's own perceived current ability with the current perceived abilities of others. We examined the role of students' individual and social school self-concepts in the development of behavioral and emotional school engagement during the period from grade 8 to grade 9. The sample consisted of 1088 German adolescents at the first measurement time (M-age = 13.70, SD = 0.53; 53.9% girls). The findings suggested a significant decline in both emotional and behavioral school engagement over the span of 1.5 years. In addition, social-but not individual-school self-concept was associated with the change in both dimensions of school engagement over time, such as it may intensify a student's decline in school engagement levels. This might be due to the fact that students with a high social school self-concept tend to increasingly emphasize competition and comparison and strive for high grades, which lowers students' school participation and identification in the long term.
We developed a new survey instrument to investigate teacher educators? motives for entering the profession and examined the associations between motives and job satisfaction and emotional exhaustion in both teachers and teacher educators. Using data from 145 teacher educators instructing in-service teachers, we identified four motives: career aspirations, social contribution, escaping routines, and coincidence. While escaping routines represents a ?push? factor associated with emotional exhaustion in teachers, career aspirations represent a ?pull? factor associated with job satisfaction in teacher educators. The instrument can be used as a self-assessment tool for the recruitment of teacher educators. ? 2021 The Authors.
Teacher motivation
(2021)
Teacher self-efficacy and teacher interest are two key facets of teacher motivation that are important for highquality teaching. Little is known about the relative strength of the effects of teacher self-efficacy and interest on teaching quality when compared with one another. We extend previous research on teacher motivation by examining the relations linking mathematics teacher self-efficacy and interest with several relevant dimensions of teaching quality as perceived by teachers and students. Participants were 84 mathematics teachers (61.2% female) and their students (1718 students; 48.5% girls). Based on doubly latent multilevel models, we found that teacher-reported self-efficacy in instruction was positively related to teacher-reported cognitive activation, classroom management, and emotional support in mathematics classrooms. Teacher-reported educational interest showed positive associations with both student- and teacher-perceived emotional support. Future research is advised to focus more strongly on the unique relations between different teachers' motivational characteristics and relevant dimensions of teaching quality.
Die Reflexion praktischer Unterrichtserfahrungen ermöglicht es Lehramtsstudierenden theoretische Wissensaspekte und praxisrelevante Erkenntnisse miteinander zu verknüpfen. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Bedeutung des Mediums der Reflexion (eigenes Video vs. fremdes Video vs. Protokoll) sowie der Art der reflektierten Unterrichtssituation (positiv vs. herausfordernd) für die Reflexionsprozesse Lehramtsstudierender. Darüber hinaus wird untersucht, auf welchen Ebenen (Basal‑, Sicht- und Tiefenstrukturen) das Unterrichtsgeschehen reflektiert wird. Datengrundlage der quasi-experimentellen Studie sind Unterrichtsreflexionen von 55 Lehramtsstudierenden, die inhaltsanalytisch ausgewertet wurden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Lehramtsstudierende die Tiefenstrukturen des Unterrichts reflektieren, wenn die Reflexion von Situationen, die als positiv erlebt wurden, anhand fremder Unterrichtsvideos geschieht. Bei der Reflexion von herausfordernden Unterrichtssituationen werden Tiefenstrukturen sowohl anhand von fremden Videos als auch anhand von Protokollen reflektiert. Die Implikationen der Ergebnisse für die Lehrkräftebildung werden im Hinblick auf die Reflexion von Unterrichtspraxis diskutiert.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether teacher enthusiasm and classroom management self efficacy are related to classroom mastery orientation and student motivation. We used data from 803 students in grades 9 and 10 (53.3% girls) and their mathematics teachers (N = 41; 58.5% men). Student perceived teacher enthusiasm was related to classroom mastery orientation as well as to intrinsic value and cost at the student level. Teacher-reported self-efficacy was related to classroom mastery orientation at the classroom level. At both the individual and the classroom level, classroom mastery orientation was related to attainment and utility value.
Lern- und Leistungsemotionen sind im Schulkontext sowohl bedeutsam für die Motivation, das Wohlbefinden, die Leistungen als auch für die Anstrengungsbereitschaft sowie bildungs- und berufsrelevante Entscheidungen von Schülerinnen und Schülern (als Überblick siehe Frenzel, Goetz, & Pekrun, 2015; Hascher & Brandenberger, 2018). Studien verdeutlichen, dass schulische Leistungen von Lernenden bei hoher fachspezifischer Angst sinken (Aldrup, Klusmann, & Lüdtke, 2019; Pekrun, Lichtenfeld, Marsh, Murayama, & Goetz, 2017). Freude hat hingegen positive Auswirkungen auf das fachbezogene Interesse und Leistungen der Lernenden (Pekrun et al., 2017; Schukajlow & Rakoczy, 2016). Ausgehend von der großen Bedeutung von Emotionen für den langfristigen Bildungserfolg von Lernenden ist...
Emotionen von Lehrkräften gelten als wichtige Voraussetzung für eine effektive Unterrichtsgestaltung (Sutton & Wheatley, 2003), für das emotionale Erleben Lernender im Unterricht (Frenzel, Goetz, Lüdtke, Pekrun, & Sutton, 2009; Tam et al., 2019), aber auch für die Leistung Lernender (Kunter et al., 2013). Wie auch motivationale und kognitive Merkmale prägen die Emotionen von Lehrkräften folglich das berufliche Handeln von Lehrkräften maßgeblich (Kunter & Holzberger, 2014). Ein profundes Verständnis der Konsequenzen von Lehreremotionen für die Lehr-Lernprozesse von Schülerinnen und Schülern ist daher von zentraler Bedeutung, um Bedingungen erfolgreichen Unterrichtens zu verstehen. Verschiedene empirische Arbeiten haben vor diesem Hintergrund die Wirkungen einzelner...
