School off, music on
Music engagement of young adults who are no longer in school is rarely studied in music education in Germany. Our research thus aimed to identify musical practices of young adults and factors influencing these practices. We asked 769 young adults from universities and vocational schools to complete a questionnaire on their musical practices from early childhood until today. Using exploratory MIRT, we discovered that all activities carried out by …
Conquering the tower of Babel? How linguistic distance affects second and foreign language reading in German, English, and French in year 9 in Germany
Classroom effects are as large as grade‐level effects on curriculum‐based measurement maze reading scores of secondary school students with and without special educational needs
Background Previous studies used curriculum‐based measurement (CBM) maze scores as an indicator of the reading comprehension level of secondary school students with and without special educational needs in multiple grades, pinpointing a high influence of both student‐ and context‐related variables. However, studies on cumulative influence are necessary for better understanding of data‐based decision‐making. Methods We examined a sample of 1066 se…
Fachspezifische Qualitätsprofile von Rechtschreibunterricht in Deutschland und der Schweiz
Im Rahmen der ländervergleichenden Studie „Professionelle Kompetenzen und Unterrichtshandeln von Primarlehrpersonen im Lernbereich Rechtschreibung“ wurden 43 Rechtschreiblektionen zur Doppelkonsonantenschreibung in den Klassen 3 bis 6 videografiert und hinsichtlich ihrer fachspezifischen Qualität ausgewertet. Der Beitrag stellt dar, welche Dimensionen zur Erfassung der fachspezifischen Qualität von Rechtschreibunterricht herangezogen wurden, und …
Social, Systemic, Individual-Medical or Cultural? Questionnaire on the Concepts of Disability Among Teacher Education Students
The individual-medical concept of disability, whereby disability is believed to be caused by some intractable impairment, is perhaps the most widely held view in society. However, other concepts exist with which teachers in inclusive schools should be familiar (e.g., social, systemic), to better inform teacher behavior, attitudes and understanding. We therefore developed an instrument to capture education students’ concepts of disability. We cons…
The impact of early foreign language learning on language proficiency development from middle to high school
Early foreign language instruction has become the norm across Europe. Expected benefits for students include linguistic advantages and ease of learning the second language (L2). However, research rarely supports these assertions. The present study investigated the receptive skills of two cohorts of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in Years 5, 7, and 9 in Germany. The cohorts differed in their age of EFL onset in elementary school and,…
Minimization of a Short Computer-Based Test in Reading
Formative tests and assessments have high potential in supporting learning, especially for students with special educational needs. One approach to gain assessment information on student learning is to monitor learning progress. For that, multiple repeated tests are often performed by practitioners. In order to be useful in practice, tests must meet various interdependent quality criteria. A property of tests that touches various criteria as the …
Instructional Leadership as a Vehicle for Teacher Collaboration and Student Achievement. What the German Pisa 2015 Sample Tells Us
We investigated the effects of principal instructional leadership (IL) on the frequency of two forms of teacher collaboration (TC) namely exchange and coordination of teaching (EXCHT) and professional collaboration (PROFCOLT) and their influence on student achievement (SA). Using data from the representative German PISA 2015 sample, we carry out structural equation modeling analysis to estimate the direct effects of IL on TC and of TC on SA, as w…
A New Measurement Instrument for Music-Related Argumentative Competence
In this paper, we introduce the MARKO competency test and competency model, a new measurement instrument for music-related argumentative competence (MARKO: Musikbezogene ARgumentationsKOmpetenz; German for music-related argumentative competence). This competence, which plays an essential role in school curricula, refers to the ability to justify, and defend judgments about music. The two main goals of this study were 1) to design an assessment te…
Assessment of the quality of inclusive schools A short form of the quality scale of inclusive school development (QU!S-S) – reliability, factorial structure and measurement invariance
Many schools worldwide are facing the challenges of implementing inclusive education into their everyday lives. In order for this to succeed, meaningful measures are needed to evaluate concepts, instructional quality and learning. This paper addresses the development of an instrument for the self-evaluation of schools on behalf of the quality of inclusion, the Quality Scale of Inclusive School Development-short form (QU!S-S). The instrument is ba…
From Early Starters to Late Finishers? A Longitudinal Study of Early Foreign Language Learning in School
Foreign language education has now been implemented at the elementary school level across Europe, and early foreign language education has gained traction following language policies set by the European Commission. The long-term effects of an early start, however, have not received ample scientific scrutiny. The present study assessed early receptive skills of two cohorts of English language learners in Year 5 (beginning of secondary education in…
