Diagnosis is a prerequisite for successful professional problem-solving: A physician identifies an appropriate treatment based on diagnosis of the patient’s disease, and teacher selects learning task assessment student’s prior knowledge. Education in academic professions such as medicine or teaching often focuses acquisition conceptual knowledge from lectures books; opportunities students to engage practical diagnostic situations are typically rare. However, applying activities regarded...

This study examined the effects of teachers' biology-specific dimensions professional knowledge – pedagogical content (PCK) and (CK) cognitively activating biology instruction, as a feature instructional quality, on students' learning. The sample comprised 39 German secondary school teachers whose lessons topic neurobiology were videotaped twice. Teachers' instruction was coded with regard to cognitive activation using rating manual. Multilevel path analysis results showed positive...

Professional knowledge is highlighted as an important prerequisite of both medical doctors and teachers. Based on recent conceptions professional in these fields, can be differentiated within several aspects. However, aspects are currently conceptualized differently across different domains projects. Thus, this paper describes frameworks for educational sciences, which then integrated into interdisciplinary two-dimensional model that help to align terminology compare research results. The...

Scientific reasoning skills are not just for researchers, they also increasingly relevant making informed decisions in our everyday lives. How can these be facilitated? The current state of research on supporting scientific includes intervention studies but lacks an integrated analysis the approaches to foster primary through secondary education. This meta-analysis evaluates effect sizes taken from 30 interventions experimental and quasi-experimental shows a medium mean reasoning....

Vertebrate species knowledge, a key factor for conserving biodiversity, is compulsory part of school curricula. This study evaluated the vertebrate knowledge sixth-grade German grammar pupils (aged 11–13) to investigate influence socio-demographic factors (gender, size hometown, mother tongue), personal expectations (favourite subject, performance in biology, expected test results) and possibilities do nature observations playing area, number excursions nature) on identification skills. In...

A key challenge for teachers is the evaluation of teaching and learning situations in classroom. Video-based instruments are considered as effective tools measuring teachers' skills evaluating classroom situations.

Teachers’ diagnostic competences are essential with respect to student achievement, classroom assessment, and instructional quality. Important components of teachers’ professional knowledge including content (CK), pedagogical (PK), (PCK), their activities as a specification situation-specific skills, accuracy. Accuracy is determined by comparing teacher’s observation incidents subject-specific challenges be identified from scripted situations. To approximate situations close real-life, the...

Developing Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) is a facet of teachers′ professional competence. The Refined Consensus Model PCK (RCM) emphasises cyclical process structure to develop an individual's enacted (ePCK) and the plan-teach-reflect cycle must be systematically adjusted by means feedback loops. Simple graphic visualisation student over time provide information for teachers improve ePCK. research gap lies in providing with actionable cyclic evaluating its effectiveness. In...

In this article, we analyse potential filters that moderate the transformation process between realms of PCK defined in refined consensus model pedagogical content knowledge. We tested 58 preservice biology teachers a 15-week one-group pretest/post-test design. To identify collective (cPCK) and personal (pPCK), set up moderation models with pretest pPCK as an independent variable, post-test dependent motivational orientations or professional values moderator variables. enacted (ePCK), ePCK...

Introduction Ways to improve the quality of doctoral education are debated internationally. In Europe, United States, and other countries, there have been policy initiatives address these. One approach has implementation so-called structured training programs (doctoral programs) including formal structures such as courses, supervision agreements, external examiners for grading thesis. However, is little known about how implement structures. As a result, question arises whether existing...

Simulation-based learning is being increasingly implemented across different domains of higher education to facilitate essential skills and competences (e.g. diagnostic skills, problem-solving, etc.). However, the lack research that assesses compares simulations used in contexts (e.g., from design perspective) makes it challenging effectively transfer good practices or establish guidelines for effective domains. This study suggests some initial steps address this issue by investigating...

The topic of 'teacher professionalism' is one the most crucial ones in quality education research. It has a potential to generate results that could inform and hence enhance practice classrooms. Thus, research this field needs reliable instruments measure professional knowledge our teachers be able for problems. Not many have been developed with regard topic. At same time, an adequate validation instrument often missing (Schilling & Hill, 2007). Hence, bigger project ProwiN (German acronym...
