In both the United States and Europe, concerns have been raised about whether preservice in-service training succeeds in equipping teachers with professional knowledge they need to deliver consistently high-quality instruction. This article investigates significance of teachers’ content pedagogical for instruction student progress secondary-level mathematics. It reports findings from a 1-year study conducted Germany representative sample Grade 10 classes their mathematics teachers. Teachers’...
Drawing on the work of L. S. Shulman (1986), authors present a conceptualization pedagogical content knowledge and secondary-level mathematics teachers. They describe theory-based construction tests to assess these categories implementation in sample German teachers (N=198). Analyses investigate whether can be distinguished empirically, mean level degree connectedness between two depends mathematical expertise. Findings show that with an in-depth training (i.e., qualified teach at...
Many psychological constructs are conceived to be hierarchically structured and thus operate at various levels of generality. Alternative confirmatory factor analytic (CFA) models can used study aspects this proposition: (a) The one-factor model focuses on the top hierarchy contains only a general construct, (b) first-order intermediate level specific constructs, both (c) higher order (d) nested-factor consider in its entirety contain (e.g., bifactor model). This tutorial considers these CFA...
Two aspects of the reliability multidimensional measures can be distinguished: amount scale score variance that is accounted for by all underlying factors (composite reliability) and degree to which reflects one particular factor (construct reliability). Confidence intervals composite construct reliabilities estimated bootstrap methods. The authors demonstrate application these methods analyzing an eight-factor, nested-factor model represents structure 45 tasks in intelligence test ( N=...
The nested Marsh/Shavelson (NMS) model integrates structural characteristics of academic self-concepts that have proved empirically incompatible in previous studies. Specifically, it conceives to be subject specific, strongly separated across domains, and hierarchically organized, with general self-concept at the top hierarchy. In Part 1 present study, data from a representative sample eighth graders (N = 4,847) Luxembourg showed NMS captures structure six core subjects. 2, was integrated...
Students’ cognitive and motivational profiles have a large impact on their academic careers. The development of such can partly be explained by the reciprocal internal/external frame reference model (RI/E model). RI/E predicts positive negative longitudinal effects between self-concepts achievements within across 2 domains (i.e., mathematics verbal domains). In present study, we replicated in samples extended it simultaneously investigating associations 3 mathematics, German as native...
Drawing on a 2-wave longitudinal sample spanning 40 years from childhood (age 12) to middle adulthood 52), the present study was designed examine how student characteristics and behaviors in late (assessed Wave 1 1968) predict career success 2 2008). We examined influence of parental socioeconomic status (SES), intelligence, (inattentiveness, school entitlement, responsible student, sense inferiority, impatience, pessimism, rule breaking defiance authority, teacher-rated studiousness)...
We assessed teacher educators' task perception and investigated its relationship with components of their professional identity teaching practice. Using data from 145 educators, two different perceptions were found: transmitters facilitators. Teacher educators who categorized as facilitator tend to demonstrate higher levels self-efficacy, job satisfaction, constructivist beliefs about learning use more effective strategies. The findings that practices are rooted in identity.
Early number competence, grounded in number-specific and domain-general cognitive abilities, is theorized to lay the foundation for later math achievement. Few longitudinal studies have tested a comprehensive model early development. Using structural equation modeling mediation analyses, present work examined influence of kindergarteners' nonverbal sense abilities (i.e., working memory, fluid intelligence, receptive vocabulary) their competence symbolic skills) on first grade achievement...
Abstract Intersectional approaches have become increasingly important for explaining educational inequalities because they help to improve our understanding of how individual experiences are shaped by simultaneous membership in multiple social categories that associated with interconnected systems power, privilege, and oppression. For years, there has been a call psychological research quantitative can account the intersection categories. The present paper introduces Multilevel Analysis...
Lerntheoretischen Überzeugungen von Lehrkräften wird eine entscheidende Bedeutung für das Unterrichtsgeschehen zugesprochen. Einflüsse der auf die Leistung Schülerinnen und Schüler konnten vereinzelt bereits nachgewiesen werden. Die vorliegende Studie geht Frage nach, ob diese Wirkung lerntheoretischen über Unterrichtsqualität vermittelt wird. Datenbasis war Stichprobe 155 Mathematiklehrkräften deren Klassen mit insgesamt 3483 Schülern, zu zwei Messzeitpunkten (Ende 9. 10. Jahrgangsstufe)...
Abstract It is well known that different types of electoral systems create incentives to cultivate a personal vote and there may be variation in intra‐party competition within an system. This article demonstrates flexible list – where voters can choose cast for the as ordered by party or express preference votes candidates another type vote‐seeking arises because flexibility party‐in‐a‐district lists results from voters' actual inclination use formal weight changing original order....
Does representatives' legislative activity have any effect on their electoral performance? A broad theoretical literature suggests so, but real‐world evidence is scarce as empirically, personal and party votes are hard to separate. In this article, we examine whether bill initiation actually helps MPs attract preference under flexible list systems. these systems, voters can accept the party‐provided rank order or vote for specific candidates, which allows a clear distinction between votes....
