Investigating distributed practice as a strategy for school students learning mathematics
(2018-09)
Spacing or distributed practice is a prominent learning strategy that is related to the so-called desirable difficulties. With distributed practice, a given learning duration is interrupted by at least one break of variable length. In contrast, with massed practice the same total time is spent learning, but without interruption. There is a rich body of empirical evidence proving the positive effect of distributed practice on the retention of verbal material. Beyond rote memory, however, the empirical grounds regarding ...

Mental rotation and the human body: Children's inflexible use of embodiment mirrors that of adults
(2018)
Adults’ mental rotation performance with body‐like stimuli is enhanced if these stimuli are anatomically compatible with a human body, but decreased by anatomically incompatible stimuli. In this study, we investigated these effects for kindergartners and first‐graders: When asked to mentally rotate cube configurations attached with human body parts in an anatomically compatible way, allowing for the projection of a human body, children performed better than with pure cube combinations. By contrast, when body parts ...

Konzeptualisierungen von Behinderung in der ICF und der UN-BRK und deren Beitrag zur Verwirklichung des Rechts auf Arbeit
(Nomos, 2018)
Die beiden Konstrukte von Behinderung, die Internationale Klassifikation der Funktionsfähigkeit, Behinderung und Gesundheit (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, ICF) und das Übereinkommen über die Rechte von Menschen mit Behinderungen (UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention, UN-BRK), betrachten das Phänomen Behinderung aus ähnlichen, aber doch verschiedenen Blickwinkeln. Die ICF ist eine gesundheitsbezogene Klassifikation, die vor allem im Rehabilitationswesen Anwendung findet, wohingegen die ...

Entwicklung, Erprobung und Evaluation einer interprofessionellen Übungseinheit im reziproken cross-level Peer-Tutoring
(2018-02-08)
Um angehende Fachkräfte in den Gesundheitsberufen durch interprofessionelles Lernen (IPL) besser auf die berufsgruppenübergreifende Zusammenarbeit in der Patientenversorgung vorzubereiten, wurde eine interprofessionelle Übungseinheit für Medizinstudierende und Schülerinnen und Schüler der Physiotherapieausbildung entwickelt. Ziel der Arbeit war, in aufeinander aufbauenden Untersuchungen die theoriegeleitete Konzeption und Optimierung der Übungseinheit zu evaluieren, die Wirksamkeit der Lehrveranstaltung zu überprüfen ...

Wirkungen tiergestützter Interventionen auf Menschen mit Demenz in ambulant betreuten Wohngemeinschaften
(2018-03-13)
Die vorliegende Dissertation untersucht die Auswirkungen von regelmäßig stattfindenden tiergestützten Interventionen auf Menschen mit Demenz, die in ambulant betreuten Wohngemeinschaften leben. Zudem werden die Auswirkungen der tiergestützten Interventionen auf die Mitarbeiter/innen und die Organisationsstruktur der Wohngemeinschaften untersucht.
In der Bundesrepublik Deutschland sind aktuell etwa 1,6 Millionen Menschen an einer Demenz erkrankt. Schätzungen gehen von bis zu 3 Millionen Erkrankungen im Jahr 2050 ...

Teaching quality in higher education: Do student evaluation of teaching questionnaires allow a reliable and valid assessment of teaching quality?
(2018-06-18)
Improving teaching quality is a relevant topic in society to nurture the students’ innate potential in the best possible way. One often applied tool for assessing teaching quality in higher education is student evaluations of teaching (SETs) that are used as a criterion for making important decisions in higher education such as employing teachers, distributing funds, and making changes in the curriculum. Despite their effect on decisions it is relatively unclear if SETs are a valid and reliable assessment of teaching ...

Distributing mathematical practice of third and seventh graders: Applicability of the spacing effect in the classroom
(2018-10-23)
We examined the effect of distributed practice on the mathematical performance of third and seventh graders (N = 213) in school. Students first received an introduction to a mathematical topic, derived from their curriculum. Thereafter, they practiced in one of two conditions. In the massed condition, they worked on three practice sets in 1 day. In the distributed condition, they worked on one practice set per day for 3 consecutive days. Bayesian analyses of the performance in two follow‐up tests 1 and 6 weeks after ...

Knowledge Is Power for Medical Assistants: Crystallized and Fluid Intelligence As Predictors of Vocational Knowledge
(2018-02-01)
Medical education research has focused almost entirely on the education of future physicians. In comparison, findings on other health-related occupations, such as medical assistants, are scarce. With the current study, we wanted to examine the knowledge-is-power hypothesis in a real life educational setting and add to the sparse literature on medical assistants. Acquisition of vocational knowledge in vocational education and training (VET) was examined for medical assistant students (n = 448). Differences in ...

Conceptualisations of Disability in ICF and CPRD: Their contribution to the realization of the Right to Work
(Nomos, 2018)
The two constructs of disability, the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), have similar but different perspectives on disability. The ICF is a health related classification and used especially in the rehabilitation sector whereas the CRPD is an international juridical contract. The signatory states are obliged to implement it regarding justice for disabled people. Consequently, they follow different goals and ...
