Nowadays, teachers are facing a more and more digitized world, as digital tools are being used by their students on a daily basis. This requires digital competencies in order to react in a professional manner to individual and societal challenges and to teach the students a purposeful use of those tools. Regarding the subject (e.g., STEM), this purpose includes specific content aspects, like data processing, or modeling and simulations of complex scientific phenomena. Yet, both pre-service and experienced teachers often consider their digital teaching competencies insufficient and wish for guidance in this field. Especially regarding immersive tools like augmented reality (AR), they do not have a lot of experience, although their willingness to use those modern tools in their lessons is high. The digital tool AR can target another problem in science lessons: students and teachers often have difficulties with understanding and creating scientific models. However, these are a main part of the scientific way of acquiring knowledge and are therefore embedded in curricula. With AR, virtual visualizations of model aspects can be superimposed on real experimental backgrounds in real time. It can help link models and experiments, which usually are not part of the same lesson and are perceived differently by students. Within the project diMEx (digital competencies in modeling and experimenting), a continuing professional development (CPD) for physics teachers was planned and conducted. Secondary school physics educators were guided in using AR in their lessons and their digital and modeling competencies for a purposeful use of AR experiments were promoted. To measure those competencies, various instruments with mixed methods were developed and evaluated. Among others, the teachers’ digital competencies have been assessed by four experts with an evaluation matrix based on the TPACK model. Technological, technical and design aspects as well as the didactical use of an AR experiment were assessed. The teachers generally demonstrate a high level of competency, especially in the first-mentioned aspects, and have successfully implemented their learnings from the CPD in the (re)design of their AR experiments.
Bilder stellen auf vielfältige Weise Bezüge zu Räumen und raumbezogenen Praktiken her. Als humangeographische Forschungsmethode fragt die Bildanalyse nach der Wirklichkeit und der Wirkungsweise von Bildern im Verhältnis von Gesellschaft und Raum. Der Beitrag führt fachlich und methodisch in die humangeographische Bildanalyse ein und diskutiert ihren Beitrag zur geographischen Bildungsforschung im Hinblick auf die Vermittlung von Bild(lese)kompetenz und den mündigen Umgang mit medialer Bildlichkeit. Als Unterrichtsbeispiel wird eine Analyse visuellen Materials für eine differenzierte Auseinandersetzung mit dem Problem Müll vorgestellt.
Adaptive teaching is considered fundamental to teaching quality and student learning. It describes teachers’ practices of adjusting their instruction to students’ diverse needs and levels of understanding. Adaptive teaching on a micro level has also been labeled as contingent support and has been shown to be effective in one-to-one and small-group settings. In the literature, the interplay of teachers’ diagnostic strategies and instructional prompts aiming at tailored support are emphasized. Our study adds to this research by presenting a reliable measurement approach to adaptive classroom discourse in elementary science which includes a global index and the single indices of diagnostic strategies, instructional support, and student understanding. Applying this coding scheme, we investigate whether N = 17 teachers’ adaptive classroom discourse predicts N = 341 elementary school students’ conceptual understanding of “floating and sinking” on two posttests. In multilevel regression analyses, adaptive classroom discourse was shown to be effective for long-term student learning in the final posttest, while no significant effects were found for the intermediate posttest. Further, the single index of diagnostic strategies in classroom discourse contributed to long-term conceptual restructuring. Overall, teachers rarely acted adaptively which points to the relevance of teacher professional development.
With adequate support for the learner, errors can have high learning potential. This study investigates rather unsuitable action patterns of teachers in dealing with errors. Teachers rarely investigate the causes that evoke the occurrence of individual students’ errors, but instead often change addressees immediately after an error occurs. Such behavior is frequent in the classroom, leaving unexploited, yet important potential to learn from errors. It has remained unexplained why teachers act the way they do in error situations. Using video-stimulated recalls, I investigate the reasons for teachers’ behavior in students’ error situations by confronting them with recorded episodes from their own teaching. Error situations are analyzed (within-case) and teachers’ beliefs are classified in an explanatory model (cross-case) to illustrate patterns across teachers. Results show that teachers refer to an interaction of student attributes, their own attributes, and error attributes when reasoning their own behavior. I find that reference to specific attributes varies depending on the situation, and so do the described reasons that led to a particular behavior as a spontaneous or more reflective decision.
In the digital condition, social networks are part of the everyday practices that produce constructions of space. To include this phenomenon in the Geography classroom, the corresponding knowledge that teachers require and how to measure it need to be determined. For this purpose, a specific instrument is necessary. We analyse constructions of space as a teacher knowledge domain through the lens of the TPACK model and deduce pedagogical and technological knowledge. We then combine these results with available TPACK survey instruments. The product is a self-assessment survey for Geography teachers on constructions of space and social networks. Scale consistency measures and item discrimination yielded good results. Initial results indicate technological and pedagogical knowledge to be greater than content knowledge. The instrument we present is valid for determining future Geography teachers’ TPACK more broadly, and can reveal implications for interventions in Geography teacher education.
Digital spatial processes have been widely explored and investigated in subject-specific geographic research. So far, however, this research has not been sufficiently reflected in classrooms or teacher education, and remains unconnected to notions of geographical digital literacy. Viral constructions of space – realities shaped in everyday life that are experienced and (re-)produced by students and teachers alike through social media – present an opportunity for Geography education to adapt to the digital society. This paper attempts to connect viral constructions of space, the digital society and the knowledge teachers need to include viral constructions of space in the classroom using Mishra and Koehler’s (2006) TPACK model, a well-established means for summarizing teachers’ technological, pedagogical and content knowledge for a specific topic. The paper focuses on content knowledge, identifies five sub-types of viral constructions of space, and extracts nine descriptors of teachers’ content knowledge. By focusing on content knowledge, the paper presents a starting point for future investigations of pedagogical and technological teacher knowledge as well as their intersections. It also raises awareness of viral constructions of space as both a new essential topic in the Geography classroom and a phenomenon already shaping learning environments for spatial acquisition.
Geometry is part of the core of mathematics. It has been relevant ever since people have interacted with nature and its phenomena. Geometry’s relevance to the teaching and learning of mathematics can be emphasized, too. Nevertheless, a current potential shift in the topics of mathematics education to the detriment of geometry might be emerging. That is, other topics related to mathematics are seeming to grow in importance in comparison to geometry. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, geometry is an important component of current research in mathematics education. In the literature review, we elaborate relevant foci on the basis of current conference proceedings. By means of about 50 journal articles, five main topics are elaborated in more detail: geometric thinking and practices, geometric contents and topics, teacher education in geometry, argumentation and proof in geometry, as well as the use of digital tools for the teaching and learning of geometry. Conclusions and limitations for current and future research on geometry are formulated at the end of the article. In particular, the transfer to the practices of geometric teaching is explored on the basis of the elaborated research findings in order to combine both aspects of the teaching and learning of geometry.
Die Digitalisierung aller Lebensbereiche stellt die Bildungsarbeit in Schulen, Kirchgemeinden und in der Gedenkstättenpädagogik vor neue Herausforderungen. Der Artikel beschreibt vor diesem Hintergrund Digitalisierungsprojekte an der Goethe-Universität in Frankfurt am Main, die sich mit virtuellen Realitäten, ambivalenten Narrativen und fiktiven Entscheidungssituationen beschäftigen. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit erhalten dabei das Judentum und die bildungstheoretischen Anliegen einer Didaktik der Multiperspektivität.
Highlights
• Transparency of design, reference frames and support for action were found to support students' sense-making of LA dashboards.
• The higher the overall SRL score, the more relevant the three factors were perceived by learners.
• Learner goals affect how relevant students find reference frames.
• The SRL effect on the perceived relevance of transparency depends on learner goals.
Abstract
Unequal stakeholder engagement is a common pitfall of adoption approaches of learning analytics in higher education leading to lower buy-in and flawed tools that fail to meet the needs of their target groups. With each design decision, we make assumptions on how learners will make sense of the visualisations, but we know very little about how students make sense of dashboard and which aspects influence their sense-making. We investigated how learner goals and self-regulated learning (SRL) skills influence dashboard sense-making following a mixed-methods research methodology: a qualitative pre-study followed-up with an extensive quantitative study with 247 university students. We uncovered three latent variables for sense-making: transparency of design, reference frames and support for action. SRL skills are predictors for how relevant students find these constructs. Learner goals have a significant effect only on the perceived relevance of reference frames. Knowing which factors influence students' sense-making will lead to more inclusive and flexible designs that will cater to the needs of both novice and expert learners.
Highlights
• Students have limited concerns about privacy in learning analytics (LA).
• Students' privacy concerns in LA vary across countries.
• Culture shapes students' privacy concerns in LA.
• Power distance, uncertainty avoidance and masculinity affect privacy concerns in LA.
• Cultural values should be considered in LA privacy management.
Abstract
Applications of learning analytics (LA) can raise concerns from students about their privacy in higher education contexts. Developing effective privacy-enhancing practices requires a systematic understanding of students’ privacy concerns and how they vary across national and cultural dimensions. We conducted a survey study with established instruments to measure privacy concerns and cultural values for university students in five countries (Germany, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, and the United States; N = 762). The results show that students generally trusted institutions with their data and disclosed information as they perceived the risks to be manageable even though they felt somewhat limited in their ability to control their privacy. Across the five countries, German and Swedish students stood out as the most trusting and least concerned, especially compared to US students who reported greater perceived risk and less control. Students in South Korea and Spain responded similarly on all five privacy dimensions (perceived privacy risk, perceived privacy control, privacy concerns, trusting beliefs, and non-self-disclosure behavior), despite their significant cultural differences. Culture measured at the individual level affected the antecedents and outcomes of privacy concerns. Perceived privacy risk and privacy control increase with power distance. Trusting beliefs increase with a desire for uncertainty avoidance and lower masculinity. Non-self-disclosure behaviors rise with power distance and masculinity and decrease with more uncertainty avoidance. Thus, cultural values related to trust in institutions, social equality and risk-taking should be considered when developing privacy-enhancing practices and policies in higher education.
Sleep and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have repeatedly been found to be associated with each other. However, the ecological validity of daily life studies to examine the effect of sleep on ADHD symptoms is rarely made use of. In an ambulatory assessment study with measurement burst design, consisting of three bursts (each 6 months apart) of 18 days each, 70 German schoolchildren aged 10–12 years reported on their sleep quality each morning and on their subjective ADHD symptom levels as well as their sleepiness three times a day. It was hypothesized that nightly sleep quality is negatively associated with ADHD symptoms on the inter- as well as the intraindividual level. Thus, we expected children who sleep better to report higher attention and self-regulation. Additionally, sleepiness during the day was hypothesized to be positively associated with ADHD symptoms on both levels, meaning that when children are sleepier, they experience more ADHD symptoms. No association of sleep quality and ADHD symptoms between or within participants was found in multilevel analyses; also, no connection was found between ADHD symptoms and daytime sleepiness on the interindividual level. Unexpectedly, a negative association was found on the intraindividual level for ADHD symptoms and daytime sleepiness, indicating that in moments when children are sleepier during the day, they experience less ADHD symptoms. Explorative analyses showed differential links of nightly sleep quality and daytime sleepiness, with the core symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity, respectively. Therefore, future analyses should take the factor structure of ADHD symptoms into account.
Highlights
• Pre-service teachershave stereotypes towards pupils with autism, Down syndrome and dyslexia.
• Pupils with Down syndrome, autism and dyslexia are associated with distinctive stereotypes.
• These stereotypes can be classified in three resp. four different dimensions.
Abstract
Stereotypes about pupils with special educational needs are prevalent both in society and among pre- and in-service teachers. However, little is known about the specific stereotypes pre-service teachers associate with autistic pupils, pupils with Down syndrome, and pupils with dyslexia. We explored these in two studies. Study 1 (N=13) involved qualitative interviews to identify potential stereotype content. Study 2 (N=213) used these findings to create a questionnaire to quantify these stereotypes. We found distinct stereotypes associated with all three groups of pupils. For successful inclusion, teachers must recognize the uniqueness of each pupil, including those with different diagnoses.
Current deep learning methods are regarded as favorable if they empirically perform well on dedicated test sets. This mentality is seamlessly reflected in the resurfacing area of continual learning, where consecutively arriving data is investigated. The core challenge is framed as protecting previously acquired representations from being catastrophically forgotten. However, comparison of individual methods is nevertheless performed in isolation from the real world by monitoring accumulated benchmark test set performance. The closed world assumption remains predominant, i.e. models are evaluated on data that is guaranteed to originate from the same distribution as used for training. This poses a massive challenge as neural networks are well known to provide overconfident false predictions on unknown and corrupted instances. In this work we critically survey the literature and argue that notable lessons from open set recognition, identifying unknown examples outside of the observed set, and the adjacent field of active learning, querying data to maximize the expected performance gain, are frequently overlooked in the deep learning era. Hence, we propose a consolidated view to bridge continual learning, active learning and open set recognition in deep neural networks. Finally, the established synergies are supported empirically, showing joint improvement in alleviating catastrophic forgetting, querying data, selecting task orders, while exhibiting robust open world application.
Highlights
• Parents with and without migration background differ in educational knowledge.
• Parents with migration background have less educational knowledge on average.
• Variations in educational knowledge by immigrant groups.
• Social and cultural resources are central to explaining knowledge differences.
• Acculturation strategies prove to be of little relevance.
Abstract
Although extant research persistently highlights the importance of information for educational decision-making, better understanding the existence of, and the underlying reasons for, informational differences between immigrant and non-immigrant parents is important. This study examines the differences in the level of information between immigrant and non-immigrant parents of third graders just before they make probably their most important educational decision in the German education system. We draw on approaches highlighting the importance of resources and parents’ acculturation to explain the informational differences between immigrant and non-immigrant parents. Employing linear regression and probability models on data from the National Educational Panel Study in Germany (N = 3961), we demonstrate that all immigrant groups, particularly those from Turkey, the former Yugoslavia, the Middle East, and northern Africa, are significantly less informed than parents without own immigration experience. This result is evident both in our overall test and in various domains of the test, which analyze different aspects of information relevant to parents’ educational decision-making. Furthermore, different endowments with social and cultural capital largely explain the informational differences between parents with and without an immigrant background. In contrast, different acculturation strategies are almost negligible in explaining the differences in the level of information. Our findings provide important insights for research on migration-related inequalities in educational decision-making and for developing interventions to improve migrant parents’ ability to make well-informed and thus intended educational decisions.
Die Lebensphase Alter befindet sich in einem fundamentalen demografischen, sozialen und kulturellen Wandel. Sie ist dabei ambivalent: Einerseits ist sie nicht mehr vorrangig eine Phase des Rückzugs, sondern kann aktiv gestaltet werden. Andererseits ist die Lebensphase durch krisenhafte Erlebnisse, wie etwa den Austritt aus dem Erwerbsleben, Verlust des Partners/der Partnerin oder gesundheitliche Veränderungen gekennzeichnet. Lernen wird umso wichtiger, als es Selbstbestimmung und Aktivität unterstützen und gleichzeitig kritische Lebensereignisse bewältigen helfen kann. In diesem Beitrag wird auf Lernen als erfahrungsreflexiver Prozess geschaut und dargestellt, wie dieser in unterschiedlichen informellen Bildungssettings für ältere Menschen stattfinden kann.
Seit den 1970er Jahren haben sich die Universitäten für Senior*innen geöffnet; anfänglich nur durch die Öffnung bereits vorhandener Studiengänge, mehr und mehr aber auch durch gezielte Bildungsangebote für die Zielgruppe Älterer. Die „Universität des 3. Lebensalters“ (U3L) an der Universität Frankfurt bietet seit 40 Jahren Angebote für Ältere und hat daher Einblicke in die Bildungsbedürfnisse dieser Zielgruppe im Wandel der Zeit gesammelt: Überwog früher das Nachholen akademischer Bildung als Motiv für die Teilnahme, so geht es den sogenannten „Babyboomern“ (Jahrgänge 1955-1964) vielfach um Selbstreflexion von Lebensgestaltung und Lebensvollzug. Am Beispiel der beiden mehrjährigen Lehr-/Lern-Projekte „Biografie und Gesellschaft“ und „Männlichkeiten im Altern“ zeigt der Autor im vorliegenden Beitrag, wie eine teilnehmer*innenorientierte Seminargestaltung für diese Zielgruppe didaktisch erfolgen kann: die Inhalte in allen Phasen der didaktischen Planung entlang der biografisch begründeten Interessen der Teilnehmer*innen ausrichten, die Seminare partizipativ anlegen, eigene und fremde Erfahrungen einbeziehen, Emotionen achtsam aufgreifen und reflektieren. Als Lehrender beschreibt er sich als neugieriger und interessierter Ermöglicher und Begleiter von Lernprozessen, der sich auch selbst als alternder Mit Mensch einbringt.
The new forms and practices of communication on the Internet open up an interdisciplinary field of research within which social media interaction is a central research area. In the first months after the outbreak of the Corona pandemic (2020), fake news has been spread massively via social media. Social media data allow the extraction of large amounts of data and can be used in a variety of ways, e.g., to detect side effects of drugs or to identify groups of people who are critical of certain treatments. Drawing on comments on the discussion platform Reddit, the article reveals the role of everyday experience in fixing knowledge about the placebo effect.
The article deals with the educational language German at German schools abroad and DSD schools in Romania. Schools in regions with autochthonous German minorities are given special consideration, as these contribute to the preservation of the minority‘s cultural identity. Existing empirical studies on language use and language retention at DSD schools are discussed and it is proposed that analyzes should not only be devoted to the norm-orientation in the language use of pupils, but to interactive processes in subject teaching.
In the field of second language acquisition, a lot of emphasis has been placed on factors such as input, age, linguistic background, and prior knowledge of the learner, and there has been ongoing examination and refinement of teaching methods and pedagogy. However, there is still an important factor that is not always considered in the learning process: socio-emotional prerequisites. These prerequisites refer to the non-linguistic factors that vary from person to person and can contribute to the complexity of the learning process. The social environment and emotional states of the learner can heavily influence the learning context, and it is no longer just a matter of considering the cognitive variables of an individual, but rather looking at the individual as a whole, which is formed by multiple variables. The group-specific learning atmosphere can also have greatly impact on the development of the learning process. All these factors raise the question of to what extent they influence the reception and production of a foreign language.
Hintergrund: Mit dem Masterplan 2020 und den an mehreren Universitäten eingeführten Modellstudiengängen befindet sich das Medizinstudium aktuell im Umbruch. Sowohl im Regel- als auch im Modellstudiengang werden medizinrechtliche Aspekte überwiegend im Rahmen rechtsmedizinischer Ausbildungsabschnitte unterrichtet. Allerdings werden Studierende bereits während Famulaturen oder im praktischen Jahr mit juristischen Fragen konfrontiert.
Ziel der Studie war es herauszufinden, ob und in welchem Umfang Studierende der Humanmedizin insbesondere zur ärztlichen Aufklärung und zu den ärztlichen Informationspflichten bis zum Beginn des 4. bzw. 5. klinischen Semesters auf medizinrechtliche Aspekte vorbereitet wurden, und ob Verbesserungen bei der medizinrechtlichen Lehre gewünscht werden.
Material und Methoden: Zwischen den Sommersemestern 2017 und 2019 wurde zu Beginn des Kurses für Rechtsmedizin eine quantitative, standardisierte Umfrage mit insgesamt 373 Studierenden durchgeführt.
Ergebnisse: Wenngleich 98,8 % der Studierenden angaben, Aufklärungsgespräche bereits (mehrfach) praktisch ausgeübt zu haben, bestanden deutliche Defizite in Bezug auf die juristischen Anforderungen an das ärztliche Aufklärungsgespräch und dessen Delegation. So gaben lediglich 5,1 % der Studierenden an, die rechtlichen Grundlagen der ärztlichen Aufklärung sowie die entsprechende Norm aus dem Zivilrecht zu kennen. Über 80 % der Befragten fühlten sich unzureichend auf die rechtlichen Aspekte des praktischen Jahres vorbereitet. Über 90 % der Studierenden wünschten sich eine bessere medizinrechtliche Ausbildung.
Diskussion: Eine fächerübergreifende Etablierung sowie eine über das gesamte Studium verteilte Lehre von Medizinrecht könnte die Vorbereitung auf das praktische Jahr verbessern und das Verständnis für die rechtlichen Anforderungen an die ärztliche Berufstätigkeit fördern. Nach dem derzeitigen Stand der Umsetzung des Masterplans 2020 soll das Medizinrecht in der Learning Opportunities, Objectives and Outcomes Platform (LOOOP) als verbindlicher Ausbildungs- und Lehrinhalt etabliert werden.
