Over the past few years, studying abroad and other educational international experiences have become increasingly highly regarded. Nevertheless, research shows that only a minority of students actually take part in
academic mobility programs. But what is it that distinguishes those students who take up these international opportunities from those who do not? In this
study we reviewed recent quantitative studies on why (primarily German) students choose to travel abroad or not. This revealed a pattern of predictive factors. These indicate the key role played by students’ personal and social background, as well as previous international travel and the course of studies they are enrolled in. The study then focuses on teaching students. Both facilitating and debilitating factors are discussed and included in a model illustrating the decision-making process these students use. Finally, we discuss the practical implications for ways in which international, studyrelated travel might be increased in the future. We suggest that higher education institutions analyze individual student characteristics, offering differentiated programs to better meet the needs of different groups, thus raising the likelihood of disadvantaged students participating in academic international travel.
Die Eugenik wird oft als politisch konservative und frauenfeindliche Bewegung stereotypisiert. Im Gegensatz dazu steht, dass sich Frauenorganisationen in vielen Ländern die Eugenik angeeignet haben und diese in einer feministischen Richtung revidierten. Der Vortrag wird mehrere europäische Länder überblicken, um die deutschen Feministinnen in vergleichender Perspektive zu betrachten und ihre Haltung zur Eugenik erfassen und einordnen zu können.
In this paper, we employ a comparative life course approach for Canada and Germany to unravel the relationships among general and vocational educational attainment and different life course activities, with a focus on labour market and income inequality by gender. Life course theory and related concepts of 'time,' 'normative patterns,' 'order and disorder,' and 'discontinuities' are used to inform the analyses. Data from the Paths on Life's Way (Paths) project in British Columbia, Canada and the German Pathways from Late Childhood to Adulthood (LifE) which span 28 and 33 years, respectively, are employed to examine life trajectories from leaving school to around age 45. Sequence analysis and cluster analyses portray both within and between country differences - and in particular gender differences - in educational attainment, employment, and other activities across the life course which has an impact on ultimate labour market participation and income levels. 'Normative' life courses that follow a traditional order correspond with higher levels of full-time work and higher incomes; in Germany more so than Canada, these clusters are male dominated. Clusters characterised by 'disordered' and 'discontinuous' life courses in both countries are female dominated and associated with lower income levels.

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.
Das Buch beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, wie sich mit den Prozessen gesellschaftlicher Transformation nicht nur das individuelle wie kollektive Handeln, sondern auch das darauf bezogene Lernen verändert. Im Zentrum steht die reflexive Analyse, Konstituierung und Entwicklung eines Lernens im Kontext gesellschaftlich-historischen Wandels. Dies wird aus erwachsenenpädagogischer Perspektive als komplexe Entwicklungs-, Organisations- und Gestaltungsaufgabe entfaltet. Dabei werden die wissenschaftskonzeptionellen Arbeiten des Psychologen Klaus Holzkamp herangezogen, um Grundlagenprobleme hinsichtlich der Konstituierung eines gesellschaftlich vermittelten Lernbegriffes zu analysieren und um diese im Anschluss an die Diskurse des "Cultural Turn" in Richtung einer kulturtheoretischen Fundierung zu überwinden. Holzkamps subjektwissenschaftliche Konzeption eines gesellschaftlich vermittelten Lernens wird rezipiert, um Möglichkeiten für die wissenschaftlich fundierte Konstituierung und Entwicklung eines Lernens im Lebenszusammenhang zu erschließen, das an die gegenwärtige Komplexität, Flexibilität und Temporalität sozialer Wandlungsprozesse anzuschließen vermag. Deren Ertrag wird mit Blick auf die Überschreitung bisheriger wissenschafts- und lerntheoretischer Engführungen und auf die erwachsenenpädagogischen Entwicklungs- und Unterstützungsaufgaben eines lebensweltlich vermittelten Lernens ausgewertet. Als Ergebnis wird eine konzeptionelle Perspektive sichtbar, mit der sich Lernen im Lebenszusammenhang als systemisch-sozialstrukturelles Geschehen konstituieren, unterstützen und reflexiv entwickeln lässt. Exemplarische Ausblicke auf die Konturen sozialer Praktiken des Lernens zeigen, in welche Richtung diese Konzeption weiter zu denken wäre.

Die berufliche Orientierung von Kindern im Grundschulalter ist bislang nur in Ansätzen erforscht. Gleichwohl gibt es berufsorientierende Angebote, die auf verschiedenen Ebenen Grundschulkinder adressieren. Die Untersuchung fokussiert aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse, ausgewählte Initiativen, Kinderbücher, Unterrichtsmaterialien usw. zur beruflichen Orientierung von Kindern. Mit dem Ziel der Entwicklung und Ausdifferenzierung eines facettenreichen beruflichen Selbstkonzeptes von Kindern werden spezifische Forschungs- und Entwicklungspotenziale aufgezeigt.
Lernen durch Beobachten

Prior research has shown that quantity of schooling affects the development of intelligence in childhood and adolescence. However, it is still debated whether other aspects of schooling-such as ability tracking or, more generally, school quality-can also influence intelligence. In this study, the authors analyzed intelligence gains in academic- and vocational-track schools in Germany, testing for differential effects of school quality (academic vs. vocational track) on psychometric intelligence. Longitudinal data were obtained from a sample of N = 1,038 Grade 7 and 10 students in 49 schools. A nonverbal reasoning test was used as an indicator of general psychometric intelligence, and relevant psychological and social background variables were included in the analyses. Propensity score matching was used to control for selection bias. Results showed a positive effect of attending the academic track.
The present study investigates school context effects on psychosocial characteristics (academic self-concept, peer relations, school satisfaction, and school anxiety) of high-achieving and gifted students. Students who did or did not make an early transition from elementary to secondary schools for high-achieving and gifted students in 5th grade in Berlin, Germany, are compared in their psychosocial development. The sample comprises 155 early-entry students who moved to an academically selective secondary school (Gymnasium) and 3,169 regular students who remained in elementary school until the end of 6th grade. Overall, a complex pattern of psychosocial development emerged for all students, with both positive and negative outcomes being observed. Specifically, the transition into academically selective learning environments seemed to come at some cost for psychosocial development. Propensity score matching analysis isolating the effects of selective school intake and the school context effect itself revealed negative contextual effects of early transition to Gymnasium on academic self-concept and school anxiety; additionally, the positive trend in peer relations observed among regular students was not discernible among early-entry students.
Auffälliges Verhalten von Kindern und Jugendlichen im schulischen Alltag zeugt oftmals von den schwierigen Lebenssituationen, in denen sie aufwachsen. Für Lehr- und pädagogische Fachkräfte stellt der Umgang mit den daraus resultierenden Konflikten die größte Herausforderung dar. In diesem Buch werden Ansätze und Lösungen für das Verstehen und Handeln in schwierigen pädagogischen Situationen in der Schule vorgestellt. Außerdem bietet ein inklusiver Förderansatz Impulse für die Schulentwicklung zur Prävention auffälligen Verhaltens.

Background:
The overall goal of the project ‘StiEL’ is to contribute to the professional development of teachers and other educational staff working at German secondary schools. The aim is to develop an evidence-based training concept for the inclusion of students with diverse abilities. The project is organized as a collaborative research effort of three partnering institutions and funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research from 2018-2021.
Methods:
To support the on-going transition towards inclusive school practices, a multi-stage approach is envisaged. The first phase aims at a scoping review of existing literature and programmes on inclusion. The overview is supplemented by interviews with school staff members. Training modules are developed in the second project phase. The third phase of StiEL puts the newly developed training program into practice. The knowledge and skills acquired by the participants through the training as well as the teaching and management of inclusive classrooms after the training are evaluated through longitudinal and ethnographic approaches. The final project phase creates a best practice manual and makes the modules available via open access databases.
Results:
The presentation will focus on the first phase and try to explore the health-related consequences of the transition towards an inclusive school system in Germany for different participants. We will present preliminary results of expert interviews as well as some results from the literature screening. Due to our findings the current practice on German schools towards the road to inclusion is very stressful for all participants. We will explore recommendations for health promoting schools under conditions of inclusion.
Conclusions:
In terms of health-related consequences for all participants, the road to inclusion is very ambitious but also very stressful. Regarding the development of an inclusive school system, we need to focus much more on health and health promotion.
Die zeitgenoessische Musik ist nicht bloß ein aesthetisches Phaenomen. Mit ihren Netzwerken, Treffpunkten und internen Gruppenbildungen markiert sie zugleich auch einen sozialen Raum, in dem sich bewegt und handelt, wer neue Musik komponiert, auffuehrt oder rezipiert. Was aber macht diesen Raum aus? Welche Handlungsmuster und -optionen charakterisieren ihn? Gibt es typische Merkmale und Verhaltensweisen im Feld der zeitgenoessischen Musik - und was sind deren oekonomische und soziale Rahmenbedingungen?
Differentiation of intelligence refers to changes in the structure of intelligence that depend on individuals' level of general cognitive ability (ability differentiation hypothesis) or age (developmental differentiation hypothesis). The present article aimed to investigate ability differentiation, developmental differentiation, and their interaction with nonlinear factor analytic models in 2 studies. Study 1 was comprised of a nationally representative sample of 7,127 U.S. students (49.4% female; M-age = 14.51, SD = 1.42, range = 12.08-17.00) who completed the computerized adaptive version of the Armed Service Vocational Aptitude Battery. Study 2 analyzed the norming sample of the Berlin Intelligence Structure Test with 1,506 German students (44% female; M-age = 14.54, SD = 1.35, range = 10.00-18.42). Results of Study 1 supported the ability differentiation hypothesis but not the developmental differentiation hypothesis. Rather, the findings pointed to age-dedifferentiation (i.e., higher correlations between different abilities with increasing age). There was evidence for an interaction between age and ability differentiation, with greater ability differentiation found for older adolescents. Study 2 provided little evidence for ability differentiation but largely replicated the findings for age dedifferentiation and the interaction between age and ability differentiation. The present results provide insight into the complex dynamics underlying the development of intelligence structure during adolescence. Implications for the assessment of intelligence are discussed.
Differentiation hypotheses concern changes in the structural organization of cognitive abilities that depend on the level of general intelligence (ability differentiation) or age (developmental differentiation). Part 1 of this article presents a review of the literature on ability and developmental differentiation effects in children, revealing the need for studies that examine both effects simultaneously in this age group with appropriate statistical methods. Part 2 presents an empirical study in which nonlinear factor analytic models were applied to the standardization sample (N = 2,619 German elementary schoolchildren; 48% female; age: M = 8.8 years, SD = 1.2, range 6-12 years) of the THINK 1-4 intelligence test to investigate ability differentiation, developmental differentiation, and their interaction. The sample was nationally representative regarding age, gender, urbanization, and geographic location of residence but not regarding parents' education and migration background (overrepresentation of children with more educated parents, underrepresentation of children with migration background). The results showed no consistent evidence for the presence of differentiation effects or their interaction. Instead, different patterns were observed for figural, numerical, and verbal reasoning. Implications for the construction of intelligence tests, the assessment of intelligence in children, and for theories of cognitive development are discussed.
In the present paper we empirically investigate the psychometric properties of some of the most famous statistical and logical cognitive illusions from the "heuristics and biases" research program by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, who nearly 50 years ago introduced fascinating brain teasers such as the famous Linda problem, the Wason card selection task, and so-called Bayesian reasoning problems (e.g., the mammography task). In the meantime, a great number of articles has been published that empirically examine single cognitive illusions, theoretically explaining people's faulty thinking, or proposing and experimentally implementing measures to foster insight and to make these problems accessible to the human mind. Yet these problems have thus far usually been empirically analyzed on an individual-item level only (e.g., by experimentally comparing participants' performance on various versions of one of these problems). In this paper, by contrast, we examine these illusions as a group and look at the ability to solve them as a psychological construct. Based on an sample of N = 2,643 Luxembourgian school students of age 16-18 we investigate the internal psychometric structure of these illusions (i.e., Are they substantially correlated? Do they form a reflexive or a formative construct?), their connection to related constructs (e.g., Are they distinguishable from intelligence or mathematical competence in a confirmatory factor analysis?), and the question of which of a person's abilities can predict the correct solution of these brain teasers (by means of a regression analysis).
Between-School Variation in Students' Achievement, Motivation, Affect, and Learning Strategies
(2017)
To plan group-randomized trials where treatment conditions are assigned to schools, researchers need design parameters that provide information about between-school differences in outcomes as well as the amount of variance that can be explained by covariates at the student (L1) and school (L2) levels. Most previous research has offered these parameters for U.S. samples and for achievement as the outcome. This paper and the online supplementary materials provide design parameters for 81 countries in three broad outcome categories (achievement, affect and motivation, and learning strategies) for domain-general and domain-specific (mathematics, reading, and science) measures. Sociodemographic characteristics were used as covariates. Data from representative samples of 15-year-old students stemmed from five cycles of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA; total number of students/schools: 1,905,147/70,098). Between-school differences as well as the amount of variance explained at L1 and L2 varied widely across countries and educational outcomes, demonstrating the limited generalizability of design parameters across these dimensions. The use of the design parameters to plan group-randomized trials is illustrated.
