Influence of friendship on benign and malicious envy among secondary school students
BACKGROUND: Benign and malicious envy arise from social comparisons regarding a quality, achievement or possession. As school is inherently evaluative and social, the classroom offers a relevant and understudied context to investigate envy and the impact of friendship on envy. Prior research has shown a positive association between relationship closeness and benign envy. AIMS: Broadening research on the interconnectedness of emotional and social …
Grading after reform
This paper investigates the impact of a 2020 Austrian grading reform on teachers’ grading practices for university entrance qualifications. The reform introduced a combined model integrating teacher-awarded classroom grades with standardized exam scores. Employing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, we analyze longitudinal data on classroom grades in German and Mathematics from 2017 to 2023, alongside 14 in-depth teacher interviews. Qu…
Legitimacy, effectiveness, and feasibility of language pull-out classes – assessing in-service teachers’ attitudes towards segregated language support
Cultural diversity climate in school
This first-of-its-kind meta-analysis (N = 79 studies; 56,552 students; k = 640 effects) provides a comprehensive assessment of five cultural diversity climate approaches that capture different ways of addressing cultural diversity in K-12 schools. We examined how intergroup contact theory's optimal contact conditions, multiculturalism climate, colorblind climate, critical consciousness climate, and polyculturalism climate were associated with chi…
Teachers’ mindset meaning system
Mindsets are crucial factors for individuals’ adaptive behavior in educational contexts. In meaning systems, these associations between mindsets and behavior are mediated through motivational aspects. It is generally assumed that students should also benefit if teachers adopt a growth mindset. Even though many studies have investigated mindset processes of students, analyses of teachers’ meaning systems are lacking. This study, therefore, examine…
Bildung gemeinsam gestalten
Die empirische Forschung liefert viele Hinweise auf Ansatzpunkte, um Herausforderungen an Schulen zu bewältigen und Bildungschancen zu erhöhen. Jedoch sind die Umsetzung dieser Erkenntnisse und vor allem der Transfer in die Fläche höchst anspruchsvoll, denn es müssen die Perspektiven und Möglichkeiten unterschiedlicher Akteur*innen aus den Bereichen Wissenschaft, Politik und Praxis sehr gut koordiniert werden. Vor diesem Hintergrund wurden in den…
The Role of Parental Self-Efficacy Regarding Parental Support for Early Adolescents’ Coping, Self-Regulated Learning, Learning Self-Efficacy and Positive Emotions
Although adolescence is characterized by increasing individuation, parental support represents an important resource especially in early adolescence. This multi-informant study examined the role of parental self-efficacy in providing emotional and instrumental support when early adolescents partially learned from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on a resources model of coping, we examined effects of parental self-efficacy on early adolesc…
Ethnic In-and Out-Group Friendships Going Into Early Adolescence
The present study sought to investigate the friendship formation of ethnic in-and out-group friendships, as well as differences in stability and quality, while accounting for the network structure (such as the tendency to befriend friends of friends). We analyzed longitudinal data from 770 students from 42 Austrian primary school classes collected over the course of their last year of primary school. First, friendship prevalence, quality and stab…
Learning during Covid-19
In March 2020 schools in Austria temporarily closed and switched to distance learning to contain the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). The resulting situation posed great challenges to teachers, guardians and students (Huber and Helm 2020). Research has shown that perceived competence (Deci and Ryan 2000) affects selfregulated learning (SRL), intrinsic motivation and procrastination, however few studies have considered these variables in cont…
Students' basic needs and well‐being during the Covid‐19 pandemic
COVID‐19 and its containment measures have uniquely challenged adolescent well‐being. Following self‐determination theory (SDT), the present research seeks to identify characteristics that relate to well‐being in terms of positive emotion and intrinsic learning motivation under distance schooling conditions and whether SDT's core postulates hold true in this exceptional situation. Feeling competent and autonomous concerning schoolwork, and social…
Immigrant adolescents’ perceptions of cultural pluralism climate
A cultural pluralism climate values differences between groups and fosters learning about different cultures. This study investigated the relation between four facets of cultural pluralism climate (learning about multicultural topics, learning about intercultural relations, interest shown by teachers, interest shown by non-immigrant students) and immigrant students' self-esteem, academic self-concept, achievement and perceived discrimination. We …
Reflect – A Teacher Training Program to Promote Gender Equality in Schools
Despite formally equal educational opportunities for women and men, educational and occupational careers are still characterized by gender disparities rather than gender equality. Men are overrepresented in STEM fields and higher positions, while women are frequently working in low-status jobs in the health and social sector. These differences already emerge during school time, when girls report lower academic self-concepts in STEM subjects than …
Has achievement goal theory been right? A meta-analysis of the relation between goal structures and personal achievement goals
Achievement goal theory includes both personal motivational features (achievement goals) and contextual features (goal structures). The theory holds that the prevailing goal structures in learning environments (such as the classroom) influence the achievement goals students adopt. This meta-analysis (k = 68, N = 47,975) examined the strength of the relationships between student ratings of goal structures (mastery-approach goal structures, mastery…
Enhancing feasibility when measuring teachers' motivation
The role of within‐class consensus on mastery goal structures in predicting socio‐emotional outcomes
BACKGROUND: Within-class consensus on mastery goal structures describes the extent to which students agree in their perceptions of mastery goal structures. Research on (work) teams suggests that higher levels of consensus within a group indicate a well-functioning social environment and are thus positively related to beneficial socio-emotional outcomes. However, the potential of within-class consensus to predict socio-emotional outcomes has not y…
