Objective: To investigate the effects of regularly performed endurance training on heart rate variability in diabetic patients with different degrees cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN). Methods: Bicycle ergometer (12 weeks, 2×30 min/week, 65% maximal performance) was by 22 insulin-requiring (age 49.5±8.7 years; diabetes duration 18.6±10.6 BMI 25.1±3.4 kg/m2): i.e., 8 subjects no CAN, early CAN and 6 definite/severe CAN. A standard battery reflex tests used for grading a short-term...

This article presents the Regulatory Focus Scale (RFS), an instrument comprising 10 items to record promotion orientation and prevention orientation, in accordance with regulatory focus theory (Higgins, 1997, 1998). In Study 1 (n = 130), 33 newly-constructed were specified dispositional focus. They administered along Strength Measure (RSM) of various dimensions Schwartz values questionnaire (Schwartz Portrait Questionnaire, SPQ). Using distribution factor analyses (exploratory und...
Abstract In the educational context, there are numerous “neuromyths” about how findings from neuroscience can be used to improve teaching and learning. International research has shown that majority of teachers tend believe in these use them classroom. Since belief neuromyths might not enhance or even have adverse effects on students' learning, need able identify neuromyths. We examined prevalence beliefs among German in‐service pre‐service teachers—compared people with a certain expertise...
Abstract This study suggests a comprehensive conceptualization of teacher knowledge for teaching early literacy in primary schools. Following the discourse on professional teachers, we argue that teachers’ relevant to support reading and writing at beginning school education is multidimensional by nature: Teachers need content (CK), pedagogical (PCK), general (GPK). Although research has made remarkable progress over last decade, particular domains such as mathematics, empirical using...
Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden Prozessstandards vorgestellt, die eindeutige und valide Kriterien für Zuschreibung eines sonderpädagogischen Unterstützungsbedarfs im Schwerpunkt Lernen benennen konkrete Vorgaben zum diagnostischen Vorgehen machen. Zudem sind so angelegt, dass sie eine theoriegeleitete Analyse der individuellen Unterstützungsbedarfe des zugrundeliegenden Bedingungsgefüges initiieren. Auf diese Weise wird Feststellungsprozess eng mit anschließenden Planung (sonderpädagogischer)...
Die Feststellung eines sonderpädagogischen Unterstützungsbedarfs ist in den meisten deutschen Bundesländern Voraussetzung für die Bereitstellung spezifischer Unterstützungsangebote. Trotz dieser Relevanz existieren keine klaren und einheitlichen Vorgaben diagnostischen Feststellungsprozess, sodass Sonderpädagog:innen ihre Expertise nutzen müssen, um Interpretationsspielräume auszufüllen. Das StaFF-Projekt adressiert dieses Problem, indem Prozessstandards Schwerpunkte Lernen, Geistige...
Abstract The aim of the present study is to examine relationship between students' classroom behaviour and word reading (decoding), considering role engagement in learning (defined as on‐task behaviour, OTB, part more global ‘behavioural engagement’ sensu Fredricks) a mediator reading. A wide range 171 first‐grade students (M = 6.7 years; SD 0.30), including internalizing externalizing was rated after 2 months schooling grade one. Reading tested at end first grade. Results indicated that out...
Art is a unique feature of human experience. It involves the complex interplay among stimuli, persons and contexts. Little known how various features deemed important in art appreciation depend on development, thus are already present at young age. Similarly to our previous approach with adults differing levels expertise, study uses structural equation modeling explore this by analyzing differences classical, abstract modern artworks children two age groups. We measured evaluations perceived...

An online questionnaire was conducted, containing questions about building, learning, and principals' level information, perceptions, thoughts on...
Zusammenfassung. Die vorliegende Untersuchung geht dem Entwicklungsverlauf von Teilleistungsschwierigkeiten beim Lesen und Schreiben nach. In einer ländlichen Region in Niederösterreich wurden 600 unterschiedlich leistungsfähige Schüler der ersten bis zum Ende vierten Klassenstufe mehreren Kohorten ihren Lese- Rechtschreibkompetenzen untersucht. Es wird geprüft, ob sich die verschiedenen Teilfertigkeiten im Verlauf des Schulbesuches auseinander entwickeln oder aber angleichen. Ferner...
