Interessenentwicklung im Kontext von Klassenprofilierung in der Sekundarstufe I
Full text linkSoftcover, 17x24Profilierungsmaßnahmen auf Klassenebene (sogenannte Profilklassen) stellen ein zentrales Element aktueller Schulentwicklungsprozesse dar und gelten als prominenteste Form der praktischen Umsetzung zunehmender Schulautonomie. In der Sekundarstufe I gewinnen vor allem Profilklassen im musikalischen sowie naturwissenschaftlichen Bereich (Musik- bzw. MINT-Klassen) zunehmend an Popularität. Einzelne Gestaltungsmerkmale des Profilunterrichts (u.a. zusätzliche Unterrichtsstunden, innovative und praxisbezogene Lehr-Lern-Formate sowie der Einbezug außerschulischer Lernorte) werden mit vielfältigen pädagogischen Potentialen verbunden – insbesondere für das Interesse sowie das Fähigkeitsselbstkonzept der Schülerinnen und Schüler. Hinsichtlich einer differenzierten Analyse der Entwicklung des Fach- und Sachinteresses sowie des Fähigkeitsselbstkonzepts der Schülerinnen und Schüler in Profilklassen der Sekundarstufe I besteht aktuell jedoch ein Forschungsdesiderat.
Die Ergebnisse der vorliegenden Arbeit geben Aufschluss über die Entwicklung des durchschnittlichen Fach- und Sachinteresses sowie des Fähigkeitsselbstkonzepts zwischen der fünften und siebten Jahrgangsstufe in den Domänen Musik und Naturwissenschaften. Dabei wird der Effekt des Besuchs einer Musik- oder MINT-Profilklasse herausgestellt. Anhand latenter Cross-Lagged-Panel-Modelle werden darüber hinaus die Stabilität sowie die längsschnittliche Zusammenhangsstruktur des Fach- beziehungsweise Sachinteresses und des Fähigkeitsselbstkonzepts untersucht und mögliche Unterschiede zwischen Profilklassen und deren Parallelklassen ohne Profil beleuchtet. Die Befunde ermöglichen die Evaluation des Potentials von Profilklassen zur Förderung des Interesses sowie des Fähigkeitsselbstkonzepts und bieten vielfältige Anknüpfungspunkte für die pädagogische Praxis.Classes with a special emphasis (so-called profile classes) represent a central element of current school development processes and are considered as one of the most prominent ways of practical implementation of school autonomy. At the secondary level, profile classes in music and science (music and STEM classes)
are becoming increasingly popular. Specific features of profile classes (including additional lessons, innovative and practice-based teaching and learning formats, and the involvement of student labs) are associated with various pedagogical potentials – especially in terms of fostering students’ interest and their
self-concept. However, there is a research gap regarding the development of students’ subject-related interests and their self-concept in profile classes at the secondary level. The findings of the present study indicate differences in the development of the interests in music and
science as well as the domain-specific self-concept between music classes, STEM classes and classes without a specific profile. Using cross-lagged-panel-models, the longitudinal relations among interest and self-concept are estimated in addition to the correlations of the constructs within each wave and the
autoregressive effects within each construct over time. In this regard, differences in the cross-lagged panel models between profile classes and classes without a specific profile are examined. The results allow an evaluation of the potential of profile classes in order to promote students’ interest and self-concept and
offer a variety of implications for pedagogical practice
Beiträge der empirischen Forschung zu Innovationen in Schule und Universität
No full textDie Digitalisierung von Lernprozessen sowie die zunehmende Heterogenität der Lernenden sind nur zwei der zentralen Herausforderungen, die aktuell an die Schulen und Universitäten gestellt werden. Bildungsinstitutionen befinden sich daher im stetigen Wandel, um der Qualitätssicherung und Weiterentwicklung von Bildung gerecht zu werden. Die daraus resultierenden Innovationsprozesse können sehr vielfältig gestaltet sein. Der Sammelband thematisiert verschiedene Aspekte dieser Veränderungen (Innovationen) in der Umsetzung von Lehr- und Lernprozessen und nimmt dabei Bezug auf strukturelle Entwicklungsmaßnahmen ebenso wie individuelle Lernbedingungen und ergänzende Angebote sowohl im schulischen als auch im universitären Kontext.Questions of digitization and the increasing heterogeneity of learners are just two of the central challenges that schools and universities currently face. Educational institutions are therefore undergoing constant change in order to ensure and develop the quality of education. The resulting innovation processes can be very diverse and relate to both structural conditions and social interactions in the teaching situation. This book deals with these changes (innovations) in teaching and learning in a variety of ways and addresses structural development measures as well as individual conditions of learning. Reference is made to both the school and the university context
Is gender role self-concept a predictor for music class attendance? Findings from secondary schools in Lower Saxony (Germany)
No full textAlthough there is an increasing number of studies investigating the effects of attending music programs and classes, research on the impact of gender role self-concept on the decision to attend music classes is limited. Current research highlights the significance of gender role self-concept in decision-making processes. Accordingly, we conducted path analysis on a sample of n = 353 fifth-graders to identify interrelations and mediation effects of students’ gender role self-concept on the attendance of a specific music class through the self-concept in music, intrinsic value of music, and other relevant aspects. The results showed that only gender role self-concept of femininity revealed direct effects on attending a music class. Students describing themselves as feminine had a more positive self-concept in music and value music more. No mediation effects could be detected. However, a negative direct path from gender role self-concept of femininity on music class attendance was observed. No effect was found for gender role self-concept of masculinity and music class attendance. The intrinsic value for music showed the highest impact on music class attendance. After discussing the main results, recommendations for researchers, teachers, and school administrators are made with regard to an accessible music education, which is independent of gender role orientations
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
