The relationship between disgust,state-anxiety and motivation during a dissection task     

Christoph Randler  Peter Wüst-Ackermann  Christian Vollmer  Eberhard Hummel 《Learning and individual differences》2012,22(3):419-424

Emotions influence motivation, but emotions, such as disgust, have attracted less attention in learning research. We assessed the influence of disgust measured as trait and specific state component, state anxiety and self-efficacy on intrinsic motivation during the dissection of a fish using a pre-/post-design in science teacher students. Anxiety and disgust had a negative influence on motivation. Students with more experience in dissections reported lower pressure. Anxiety after the lesson was influenced by prior anxiety and by animal reminder disgust. Specific state disgust after the dissection was predicted by prior specific state disgust, core disgust and state anxiety. State anxiety and specific state disgust decreased during the dissection. The future commitment to use dissection at school was solely predicted by interest; competence and pressure failed the significance level marginally.  相似文献   

Developing an approach to the performance-oriented testing of science teachers’ action-related competencies     

Hauke Bartels  David Geelan  Christoph Kulgemeyer 《International Journal of Science Education》2013,35(14):2024-2048

ABSTRACT

Measuring teachers’ skills to carry out the complex tasks required in teaching is an important means of evaluating the effectiveness of teacher education but remains a challenging activity to conduct in practice. It is necessary to optimise approaches for usability and effectiveness along a continuum from low-effort and low-authenticity measures such as paper-and-pencil tests to high-effort, high-authenticity measures such as extended classroom observations. The first part of the paper reviews a range of efforts toward measuring the competencies of teachers and other professionals in carrying out the tasks that make up their work. These include performance tests such as computer-based simulations or simulations using actors, as well as the use of tasks requiring participation in or responses to video vignettes. Video vignette approaches typically have been less interactive than performance tests and interactivity is seen as a desirable feature. A novel framework for developing performance-oriented testing is then outlined. The second part of the paper exemplifies this framework in relation to providing explanations in physics classrooms. The development of a novel test instrument following the framework is described, and findings on construct validity are presented to support the applicability of the presented approach.  相似文献   

Attitudes Towards the Elderly Among German Adolescents     

Christoph Randler  Christian Vollmer  David Wilhelm  Melanie Flessner  Eberhard Hummel 《Educational gerontology》2013,39(3):230-238

Many societies are encountering significant changes in their population structure as the number of older people is increasing while children and adolescents become fewer. This study examines pupils' attitudes towards elderly people in Germany. A total of 935 pupils (458 boys, 477 girls) participated in this study. Grade distribution was as follows: 192 (5th grade), 148 (6th grade), 208 (7th grade), 219 (8th grade), and 168 (9th grade). We provide evidence for two underlying latent factors, “prejudice” and “appreciation.” The “prejudice” factor contained prejudices and negative attitudes towards old people, and the “appreciation” factor contained items that were positively related to old people. On average, pupils valued old people. Based on a multivariate general linear model, we found a significant influence of gender, grade, and distance to grandparents. Girls valued old people higher, thus rating them higher on the appreciation scale. However, effect size was comparably low. No differences existed concerning the prejudice scale. Grade effects showed that prejudice increases and appreciation declines with increasing age. Distance to their grandparents significantly influenced the attitudes. Pupils with grandparents in the near vicinity valued old people more than pupils with their grandparents farther away. We suggest implementing intergenerational educational programs in primary school and in 5th and 6th grade in Germany.  相似文献   

Pupils' Interest Before,During, and After a Curriculum Dealing With Ecological Topics and its Relationship With Achievement     

Christoph Randler  Franz X. Bogner 《Educational Research and Evaluation》2013,19(5):463-478

We surveyed interest in ecology prior, during, and after an ecological unit of 14 lessons (“Ecosystem Lake”). Achievement was assessed in a pretest (T-1), a class test (T-2; used for grading), and a retention test (T-3). We found a main effect of stratification on the level of interest in ecology after the educational unit (pupils from the highest stratification were more interested) but not of gender. As expected, the pre-treatment interest scores showed a highly significant influence on the post-treatment scores. Apart from interest prior to the study, situational interest measured during the educational unit also significantly influenced interest after the treatment. Positive correlations between all 3 interest scales and between interest scales and achievement scores were found. Thus, both predisposition and situational interest influence achievement. However, using regression revealed that prior interest had the strongest impact on achievement.  相似文献

Sprachdiagnostische Grundlagen für die Förderung bildungssprachlicher Fähigkeiten     

Christoph Gantefort  Prof. Dr. Hans-Joachim Roth 《Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft》2010,13(4):573-591

The present article takes up the discussion about the interrelatedness of linguistic proficiency and educational achievement among children learning German as a second language. We provide an overview of diagnostic procedures for linguistic needs analysis, which were developed in the context of the German research program ‘FÖRMIG’. Linguistic features of school-based registers as well as the cognitive representation of academic language proficiency among bilinguals will first be addressed as the most relevant dimensions in the assessment of academic language proficiency. Finally, based on the concept of linguistic core-proficiencies after Ehlich, each of the four procedures is characterized with reference to its particular scope of identifiable aspects of academic language proficiency. Thereby it becomes evident that the procedures reflect age-specific language demands of school: Whereas the focus of assessment is first located on central aspects of grammatical and lexical knowledge as fundamental premises of schooling, the field of attention—with increasing age of the children—shifts more and more towards performance in technical language and certain text-types indicating academic language proficiency.  相似文献   

An investigation of the influence of emotional factors on learning in physics instruction     

Matthius Laukenmann  Michael Bleicher  Stefan Fuß  Michaela Gläser-Zikuda  Philipp Mayring  Christoph von Rhöneck 《International Journal of Science Education》2013,35(4):489-507

In a study of learning processes in 24 eighth grade physics classrooms in Germany, data were collected in respect to cognitive variables (prior knowledge, learning outcomes, use of learning strategies), cognitive-emotional variables (self-concept, interest), as well as emotional variables (anxiety, boredom, sense of well-being). Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used. Interest and emotional factors are further differentiated into situation-related and habitual (most likely biographically determined) components. In constructing the teaching unit (basic electricity) a learning oriented knowledge acquisition phase was followed by a more achievement oriented practice phase. Analysis shows that positive emotions are more important in the acquisition phase than in the practice phase. Anxieties play an ambiguous role in the practice phase. Additionally, the results provide indications that joy about learning in particular, and also interest are frequently linked to successful learning processes, and not merely to the nature of the subject matter.  相似文献

Polytechnische Bildung Und Erziehung In Der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik     

Kodron  Christoph 《International Review of Education/Internationale Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft/Revue internationale l'éducation》1978,24(2):207-216

Zusammenfassung Polytechnische Bildung ist ein zentrales Element marxistischer Pädagogik. Im Bildungswesen der DDR ist polytechnische Bildung sowohl als Bildungsprinzip wie als eigenständiges Unterrichtsfach fest verankert. Der Artikel charakterisiert die Leitgedanken polytechnischer Bildung und stellt ausführlich dar, wie im Laufe der verschiedenen Phasen in der Entwicklung des Bildungssystems der DDR sich die Konzeptionen, Schwerpunktsetzungen und die konkrete Unterrichtspraxis in Abhängigkeit von politischen und ökonomischen Faktoren verändert haben. Die Konfrontation von eigenem Anspruch, den emphatischen Leitgedanken polytechnischer Bildungskonzeptionen, und der Unterrichtswirklichkeit führt zu einer kritischen Beurteilung heutiger Bildungspraxis in der DDR.

Polytechnical education is a central element in Marxist educational theory. It is firmly anchored in the educational system of the German Democratic Republic both as a principle and as a subject of instruction. The author characterizes the ideas guiding this polytechnical education and describes how the concepts, emphases and teaching practices of the GDR educational system have been influenced by political and economic factors in the course of the various phases in its development. The confrontation of actual education practice with its own goals and with the guiding principles of polytechnical education concepts leads to a critical assessment of current education in the GDR.

Résumé L'éducation polytechnique est un élément central de la théorie de l'éducation marxiste. Elle est fortement ancrée dans le système d'enseignement de la République Démocratique Allemande, tant comme principe d'éducation que comme matière d'enseignement. L'auteur met en évidence les idées directrices de cette éducation polytechnique et montre comment les concepts, l'importance accordée à certains aspects particuliers et les pratiques pédagogiques du système d'enseignement en R.D.A. ont été influencés par des facteurs politiques et économiques au cours des différentes phases de son développement. La confrontation de la pratique pédagogique avec les principaux concepts directeurs de l'éducation polytechnique conduit à un diagnostic critique de l'éducation telle qu'elle est actuellement dispensée en R.D.A.
