Self-Rated Content Knowledge for Interdisciplinary Science Teaching: An Instrument and Perceptions of Disciplinarily Educated Pre-Service Science Teachers
German science teachers often teach interdisciplinary science without being specifically qualified for interdisciplinary science teaching. Instead, they study one or two science-subjects out of biology, chemistry, and physics. Hence, science teachers need out-of-field teaching expertise within the sciences for interdisciplinary science teaching in Germany. We developed a questionnaire on self-rated content knowledge based on an interdisciplinary …
New data on text reading in English as a second language: The Wave 2 expansion of the Multilingual Eye-Movement Corpus (Meco)
This paper reports an expansion of the English as a second language (L2) component of the Multilingual Eye Movement Corpus (MECO L2), an international database of eye movements during text reading. While the previous Wave 1 of the MECO project (Kuperman et al., 2023) contained English as a L2 reading data from readers with 12 different first language (L1) backgrounds, the newly collected dataset adds eye-tracking data on English text reading from…

Rethinking First Language-Second Language Similarities and Differences in English Proficiency: Insights From the ENglish Reading Online (Enro) Project
This article presents the ENglish Reading Online (ENRO) project that offers data on English reading and listening comprehension from 7,338 university-level advanced learners and native speakers of English representing 19 countries. The database also includes estimates of reading rate and seven component skills of English, including vocabulary, spelling, and grammar, as well as rich demographic and language background data. We first demonstrate hi…
Factors influencing self-efficacy beliefs of interdisciplinary science teaching – the role of teaching experience, science subjects studied, and desire to teach interdisciplinary science
Introduction Teacher education for interdisciplinary science teaching at secondary schools shows shortcomings in several countries. One of these countries is Germany. Germany provides teacher education studies for secondary education in biology, chemistry, and physics. This discipline-specific single science subject teacher education results in partly out-of-field teaching of secondary teachers regarding interdisciplinary science. Thus, interdisc…
Text reading in English as a second language: Evidence from the Multilingual Eye-Movements Corpus
Research into second language (L2) reading is an exponentially growing field. Yet, it still has a relatively short supply of comparable, ecologically valid data from readers representing a variety of first languages (L1). This article addresses this need by presenting a new data resource called MECO L2 (Multilingual Eye Movements Corpus), a rich behavioral eye-tracking record of text reading in English as an L2 among 543 university student speake…
Interactions Between Lower- and Higher-Level Processing When Reading in a Second Language: An Eye-Tracking Study
This experiment investigated interactions between lower- and higher-level processing when reading in a second language (L2). We conducted an eye-tracking experiment with the within-subject manipulation inconsistency (to tap higher-level coherence-building) crossed with a within-subject manipulation of word-processing difficulty (to alter the ease of lower-level processing), both manipulated on the text level. Sixty-three L2 learners read 48 short…
Narrative dialogic reading with wordless picture books: A cluster-randomized intervention study
Exploring early language detection in balanced bilingual children: The impact of language-specificity on cross-linguistic nonword recognition
Aims and objectives: Recent findings on the mechanisms of lexical access suggest that bilinguals are sensitive to the orthographic structure of their languages. Several studies have demonstrated that if presented with language-specific sub-lexical information, bilingual adults use this information to speed up word recognition, which provides evidence for language-selective lexical access. In the present study, we investigated the presence of such…
How many words do children know? A corpus-based estimation of children’s total vocabulary size
In this article we present a new method for estimating children’s total vocabulary size based on a language corpus in German. We drew a virtual sample of different lexicon sizes from a corpus and let the virtual sample “take” a vocabulary test by comparing whether the items were included in the virtual lexicons or not. This enabled us to identify the relation between test performance and total lexicon size. We then applied this relation to the te…
ChildLex–Eine lexikalische Datenbank zur Schriftsprache für Kinder im Deutschen
In diesem Beitrag stellen wir childLex vor, eine online-Datenbank zur Schriftsprache für Kinder im Deutschen. childLex basiert auf einem Korpus aus Kinder- und Schulbüchern, das ca. 10 Millionen Wörter umfasst, und stellt verschiedene linguistische Normen auf der lexikalischen, superlexikalischen und sublexikalischen Ebene zur Verfügung. Diese werden in der psychologischen Forschung dringend zur Erstellung von altersadäquaten Stimulus- und Traini…
Should teachers be colorblind? How multicultural and egalitarian beliefs differentially relate to aspects of teachers' professional competence for teaching in diverse classrooms
Assessing teachers’ multicultural and egalitarian beliefs: The Teacher Cultural Beliefs Scale
You don't have to believe everything you read: Background knowledge permits fast and efficient validation of information
In social cognition, knowledge-based validation of information is usually regarded as relying on strategic and resource-demanding processes. Research on language comprehension, in contrast, suggests that validation processes are involved in the construction of a referential representation of the communicated information. This view implies that individuals can use their knowledge to validate incoming information in a routine and efficient manner. …
