Course characteristics influencing students’ oral participation in higher education
(2022-11-21)
Many teachers strive for lively student participation in class. This field study examined aspects of learning environments in higher education with regard to their connection with students’ oral engagement. Overall, six factors that might increase or decrease oral participation were investigated: the number of teacher questions, course atmosphere, level of demand, student preparation (e.g., through homework), class size, and subject discipline. The sample consisted of 80 courses of diverse disciplines at a public ...

Who wants to learn harder? The relationship between conservatism and liberalism, desirable difficulties, and academic learning
(2022-01-04)
Previous work has shown that challenging learning strategies like desirable difficulties improve long-term learning. Nonetheless, because they might be regarded as strict and demanding learning strategies, they should not be perceived as positive by everyone. They should, however, fit conservative political attitudes since those are, among others, positively correlated with individuals’ need for order and structure as well as with challenging learning environments. Hence, we hypothesized conservative political attitudes ...

Are open-book tests still as effective as closed-book tests even after a delay of 2 weeks?
(2022-04-06)
The present work was conducted to re-examine the findings of Agarwal et al. (Applied Cognitive Psychology, 22(7), 861–876, 2008), which showed that both closed-book tests (with feedback) and open-book tests increased learning outcomes after 1 week compared to simple re-study of the same materials. However, contrary to often found benefits of retrieval practice—which should be more pronounced in closed-book tests—both test conditions proved to be similarly effective. As retrieval practice benefits increase with retention ...

Teachers’ emotional exhaustion before and during the COVID-19 pandemic: Neither emotional exertion nor vacation feeling
(2022-08-08)
In this paper, we use latent change models to examine the changes in in-service teachers’ emotional exhaustion before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the pandemic, teachers are confronted with challenging tasks, which can lead to stress and burnout. Resultingly, teachers’ stress experiences have been examined in different studies. However, often the change in those experiences remains unclear. Against this background, we investigate longitudinally how the emotional exhaustion of a cohort of German ...

Using heuristic worked examples to promote solving of reality-based tasks in mathematics in lower secondary school
(2022-04-19)
This study examined whether learning with heuristic worked examples can improve students’ competency in solving reality-based tasks in mathematics (mathematical modeling competency). We randomly assigned 134 students in Grade 5 and 180 students in Grade 7 to one of three conditions: control condition (students worked on reality-based tasks), worked example condition (students studied worked examples representing a realistic process of problem-solving by fictitious students negotiating solutions to the tasks), and ...

Promoting quality of extended education at primary schools in Sweden and Germany: A comparison of guidelines and children’s perspectives
(2022-05-30)
Internationally, provisions of extended education programs and related research are increasing. Over the past decade, many governments have established quality standards according to their specific goals. The aim of this comparative case study of School-Age Educare Centers in Sweden and all-day schools in Germany is to identify steps to ensure high quality of extended education in line with requirements for future education. We analyze the perspectives of policymakers, reflected in guidelines and quality standards ...

Socialism Order of Worth and Analytical Adequacy Axiom
(2022-06-15)
Boltanski and Thévenot (On justification. Economies of worth, Princeton University Press, Princeton, 2006) constructed in their seminal work On Justification the Orders of Worth (OW) framework as a research program for further empirical and theoretical development. This article suggests two methodological additions to extend the analytical capacities of the OW framework: The Socialism OW and the analytical adequacy axiom. The polito-philosophical Socialism OW, which acknowledges '(collective) welfare' as its mode of ...

Digitale frühe Bildung in der fachschulischen Qualifizierung
(2022-04-06)
Der Beitrag nimmt die fachschulische Ausbildung von Erziehern und Erzieherinnen zum Gegenstand, um Rahmendokumente wie Curricula und Schulbücher mit Blick auf die Thematik der digitalen frühen Bildung hin zu untersuchen. Es zeigt sich, dass die Darstellungen am Begriff der Medienkompetenz und des Bildungsbereiches Medien orientiert sind, wohingegen Digitalisierung und Mediatisierung kaum bzw. unterkomplex und zuweilen simplifizierend referiert werden.

Revision des Lerntypenmythos durch Konzeptwechselpodcasts im Lehramtsstudium
(2022-08-03)
Der Lerntypenmythos hat eine hohe Prävalenz unter (angehenden) Lehrkräften. Forschungsergebnisse zeigen, dass solche Mythen mit Konzeptwechseltexten entkräftet werden können. In Konzeptwechseltexten werden Fehl- und Fachkonzept vergleichend gegenübergestellt, wodurch kognitive Konflikte entstehen können, die wiederum zur kritischen Reflexion des eigenen Fehlkonzepts anregen können. Ob und unter welchen Voraussetzungen diese Erkenntnisse auf das Medium Podcast übertragbar sind, ist bisher unerforscht. In diesem Beitrag ...

Using Spacing to Promote Lasting Learning in Educational Contexts. Promises and Challenges.
(2022-12-12)
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 ...
