The effect of the frequency of use of an intelligent tutoring system on learning gains in mathematics secondary education
Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) are characterized by their direct and adaptive feedback as well as their capability of assessing the knowledge of students and administering exercises based on those assessments. The state of research regarding the effectiveness of ITS in mathematics is inconclusive. Hence, in this study, we examined the impact of utilizing an ITS on the learning gains in mathematics for students in grades 7 and 8. This longitud…
The effect of the frequency of use of an intelligent tutoring system on learning gains in mathematics in schools in challenging social circumstances
Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) are characterized by their ability to provide direct, adaptive feedback and to assess students' knowledge in order to assign exercises matched to their current proficiency. Nevertheless, research on the effectiveness of ITS in mathematics presents an inconclusive picture. To address this, the present study examined the use and effectiveness of an ITS implemented in Grade 8 and 9 mathematics classrooms in schools…
Individuals’ Interests in Vocational Environments with Activity Opportunities That Are Inconsistent with Holland’s Calculus Hypothesis
Holland’s RIASEC theory posits that career choices are guided by the desire to establish congruence between individual interests and environmental activity opportunities. Furthermore, the theory states that most individuals exhibit interests that are consistent with the circular ordering of RIASEC domains, thereby rendering specific interest constellations unlikely. Therefore, as activity opportunities provided by many environments are inconsiste…
Linking personality traits to vocational interest profiles via the circumplex
Vocational interests and personality traits are among the most important and widely studied individual differences constructs in vocational psychology. Although many studies have examined their bivariate associations, no study has approached this question from a profile-based perspective. In this study, we close this gap by linking personality traits to vocational interest profiles via the circumplex, an established model for structuring the inte…
The waning willpower
Research has shown that current mental fatigue and self-control capacity play a crucial role in the goal-directed regulation of emotion, motivation, and cognition. However, we still do not fully understand if the emergence of fatigue during the exercise of cognitive performance indicates a person's trait fatigue vulnerability. In this longitudinal study, we repeatedly measured the self-reported perceived control capacity of N = 2,094 trainees ove…
Development of life satisfaction in immigrant youth
Life satisfaction is an indicator of successful psychological adjustment, especially in adolescence, and a predictor of important developmental outcomes such as agency beliefs, self-acceptance, risk behavior, and mental health. For immigrant youth, it also indicates subjective integration into the host society. In societies with increasing ethnic diversity, it is therefore crucial to understand how life satisfaction develops among immigrant youth…
Investigating the impact of perceived mental fatigue on sustained attention performance
110 tenth graders, while they completed the d2-R test of sustained attention. By statistically controlling for social desirability, we examined relationships between perceived fatigue and the initial levels and slopes of three latent growth-curves capturing changes in the d2-R test's performance measures. Individuals with higher fatigue exhibited lower concentration performance, a weaker decline in processing speed, and a higher error rate over t…
Correlated change in habitual and situational reading motivation
We aim to examine similarities and differences in the developmental patterns of habitual (HRM) and situational reading motivation (SRM). We investigated the correlated change of SRM and two aspects of HRM: habitual reading enjoyment and habitual reading for interest. The sample comprised N = 1508 students with four waves of data collections spaced approximately every 18 months. Applying multivariate curve-of-factors models, first we found a decli…
The role of rapid guessing and test‐taking persistence in modelling test‐taking engagement
We've come full circle
Vocational interest research relies on interest taxonomies that partition the construct space of activity preferences into a small number of broad interest domains. To this day, the most widely used classification system is Holland's (1997) RIASEC taxonomy, which distinguishes between six overarching interest domains. A central feature of this model is that the six domains are connected via a circular similarity structure, the circumplex, which i…
Die Bedeutung der Interessenkongruenz für die Schulzufriedenheit in der beruflichen Oberstufe
Interessenkongruenz ist eine zentrale Determinante des Erlebens und Verhaltens in beruflichen Kontexten. Die Bedeutung der Interessenkongruenz in schulischen Kontexten mit spezifischen Schwerpunkten wurde bis dato nicht genauer untersucht, obwohl entsprechende Angebote unter anderem mit dem Ziel eingeführt wurden, die Erprobung beruflicher Interessen zu ermöglichen. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht den Kongruenzeffekt auf die Schulzufriedenheit …
A Multilevel Mixture IRT Framework for Modeling Response Times as Predictors or Indicators of Response Engagement in IRT Models
Disengaged item responses pose a threat to the validity of the results provided by large-scale assessments. Several procedures for identifying disengaged responses on the basis of observed response times have been suggested, and item response theory (IRT) models for response engagement have been proposed. We outline that response time-based procedures for classifying response engagement and IRT models for response engagement are based on common i…
The internal and external validity of the latent vocational interest circumplex
The vocational interest circumplex implies a pattern of correlations that can be represented by the interest domains' locations on the circumference of a circle. In addition, the circumplex can be extended by placing external covariates into the two-dimensional interest structure. Results that simultaneously support the circumplex as a model for the interest scales' internal structure and for their external relationships with covariates provide a…
Supplemental Material for Who Wants to Change and How? On the Trait-Specificity of Personality Change Goals
Upper Secondary Education in Academic School Tracks and the Transition from School to Postsecondary Education and the Job Market
A Semiparametric Approach for Modeling Not-Reached Items
Tests administered in studies of student achievement often have a certain amount of not-reached items (NRIs). The propensity for NRIs may depend on the proficiency measured by the test and on additional covariates. This article proposes a semiparametric model to study such relationships. Our model extends Glas and Pimentel’s item response theory model for NRIs by (1) including a semiparametric representation of the distribution of the onset of NR…
Integrating covariates into circumplex structures
Circumplex structures are elements of various psychological domains. Most work focuses on assessing the circular ordering of circumplex indicators and their relationships with covariates. In this article, an extension procedure for Browne's circumplex model is presented. Our approach models the relationships among circumplex indicators and the relationships of covariates with a latent circumplex simultaneously without affecting the circumplex ind…
Similarity of vocational interest profiles within families
OBJECTIVE: Our study addressed three questions concerning the similarity of vocational interests within families: (a) How similar are vocational interests of mothers and fathers? (b) How similar are vocational interests of parents and their children? (c) Is the inference about parent-child profile similarity affected by mother-father profile similarity? METHOD: Data from N=1,624 tenth graders and their parents were used to analyze interest profil…
Against all odds - is a more differentiated view of personality development in emerging adulthood needed? The case of young apprentices
Personality development in emerging adults who do not attend college after high school has been largely overlooked so far. In this study, we investigated personality development in emerging German adults (NT1 = 1,886, MageT1 = 18.01 years, 29% female) undergoing vocational education and training (VET). The trainees were assessed at the start of VET, 1.5 years later, and another 1.5 years after that, just before graduation. Longitudinal latent cha…
Same Same, but Different? Relations between Facets of Conscientiousness and Grit
The constructs grit and conscientiousness are closely connected. However, this relationship has not been analysed while accounting for the complex structure of conscientiousness and the multifaceted conception of grit (perseverance of effort; consistency of interest). In this study, we analysed the connection while considering the hierarchical structure of conscientiousness, differentiating between a superordinate factor, a first–level common fac…
The need for self-control in achievement tests
Majoring in Selection, and Minoring in Socialization
Though it is frequently assumed that the college experience can influence our life goals, this claim has been relatively understudied. The current study examined the role of goals in college major selection, as well as whether major selection influences later goal change. In addition, we examined whether a person's perceptions of his or her peers' goals influence goal setting. Using a sample of German students ( M age = 19 years; n = 3,023 at W a…
Quality of parental homework involvement
This study examined predictors of the quality of parental homework involvement and reciprocal relations between the quality of parental homework involvement and students’ reading achievement and academic functioning in a reading-intensive subject (German). Data from 2,830 students in nonacademic tracks and their parents who were surveyed in both Grades 5 and 7 were analyzed. The quality of parental homework involvement was assessed via student re…
Welchen Einfluss hat der Besuch unterschiedlicher Hochschultypen auf den frühen beruflichen Erfolg? Eine explorative Untersuchung
Im tertiären Ausbildungsbereich gibt es verschiedene Hochschultypen, die sich hinsichtlich wichtiger Aspekte wie z. B. der Bedeutung, fachlich-praktische Kompetenzen zu vermitteln, unterscheiden. Bislang liegen jedoch kaum Erkenntnisse dazu vor, ob und – falls ja – wie stark der Besuch unterschiedlicher Hochschultypen den Berufserfolg beeinflusst. In der hier vorgestellten Studie wurde explorativ untersucht, inwieweit sich Absolventen, insbesonde…
Institutionelle Öffnung trotz bestehender Dreigliedrigkeit. Auswirkungen auf Bildungsbeteiligung, schulische Kompetenzen und Berufsaspirationen
Im Bildungssystem hat ein von der Öffentlichkeit weitgehend unbeachteter Modernisierungsprozess stattgefunden. Die Möglichkeiten des Erwerbs eines Zertifikats (z.B. Abitur) sind nicht mehr nur auf eine Schulform (allgemein bildendes Gymnasium) beschränkt. Mit der Implementierung neuer institutioneller Strukturen stehen jungen Menschen alternative Bildungswege offen, die es ermöglichen, vormals getroffene Bildungsentscheidungen zu korrigieren. Der…
A random walk down university avenue

Achievement, agency, gender, and socioeconomic background as predictors of postschool choices
In this article, the authors develop and test a differential effects model of university entry versus major selection using a set of common predictors, including background factors (gender and socioeconomic status), academic achievement, and academic self-concept. The research used data from 2 large longitudinal databases from Germany (N = 5,048) and England (N = 15,995) to explore the generalizability of the hypothesized model in 2 cultural cont…
The Development of Students' Mathematics Self-Concept in Relation to Gender
Gender differences in the development of children's and adolescents' academic self-perceptions have received increasing attention in recent years. This study extends previous research by examining the development of mathematics self-concept across grades 7–12 in three cultural settings: Australia (Sydney; N=1,333), the United States (Michigan; N=2,443), and Germany (four federal states; N=4,688). Results of latent growth curve models document ver…
Der Übergang von der Schule in die berufliche Erstausbildung
Der Übergang von der Schule in die Berufsausbildung ist eine Entwicklungsaufgabe, deren Bewältigung zentral für den weiteren beruflichen Lebensweg ist. Welche Rolle Emotionen während der Lehrstellensuche spielen, wurde bis heute kaum untersucht. Auf der Grundlage des Handlungsphasenmodells der Entwicklungsregulation ( Heckhausen, 1999b ) und der Kontroll-Prozess-Theorie ( Carver & Scheier, 1990 ) wurden in der vorliegenden Arbeit Vorhersagen zur …

Mathematikleistungen in allgemein bildenden und beruflichen Gymnasien
In allen modernen Informations- und Kommunikationsgesellschaften gehört ein hinreichend sicherer Umgang mit mathematischen Symbolen und Modellen zu den Kernvoraussetzungen einer erfolgreichen Teilhabe am gesellschaftlichen und beruflichen Leben (Baumert, Stanat & Demmrich, 2001). Als eine formalisierte Sprache hat sich die Mathematik in einem langen historischen Prozess zu einem selbstverständlichen Kommunikationsmittel im Alltag sowie in vielen …

Gender and course selection in upper secondary education
Predictions about processes linking gender to students' choices of advanced courses were derived from the internal/external frame of reference (I/E) model and expectancy value (EV) theory. The predictions were tested for the domains of mathematics and biology using data from 1,148 students attending academically oriented secondary schools in Germany. Results revealed substantial gender differences on measures gathered in Grade 10. Males outperfor…

Les intérêts professionnels sont conçus en référence à Holland (1997). Ensuite ils ont été modelés sous forme de profil avec les paramètres Level et Things / People et l’orientation Data / Ideas selon Prediger (1982). De plus, il y a eu une analyse …
Institutionelle Reform und individuelle Entwicklung
Lernen Kinder und Jugendliche in Deutschland genug in der Schule, um für die Arbeitswelt oder die Hochschule gut gewappnet zu sein? Wie stark hängt die Entwicklung von Kindern und Jugendlichen davon ab, in welchem Bundesland sie zur Schule gehen, auf welche Schulform sie nach der Grundschule wechseln, welche spezifische Schule – bei entsprechendem Angebot – sie besuchen, von welchen Lehrkräften sie unterrichtet werden und welches Curriculum und w…

Fähigkeits- und Interessenprofile am Ende der Sekundarstufe I
Diese Arbeit untersucht die Rolle von Fähigkeits- und beruflichen Interessenprofilen beim Übergang von der Realschule in die gymnasiale Oberstufe an allgemeinbildenden und beruflichen Gymnasien. Ausgehend vom Radexmodell kognitiver und akademischer Fähigkeiten von Guttman (1954) und vom Circumplexmodell beruflicher Interessen von Holland (1997) wurden Profilmodelle entwickelt, die individuelle Unterschiede in intraindividuellen Profilen erfassen.…
Probing for the multiplicative term in modern expectancy–value theory
In modern expectancy--value theory (EVT) in educational psychology, expectancy and value beliefs additively predict performance, persistence, and task choice. In contrast to earlier formulations of EVT, the multiplicative term Expectancy × Value in regression-type models typically plays no major role in educational psychology. The present study used latent moderated structural equation modeling to explore whether there is empirical support for a …
A Tutorial on Hierarchically Structured Constructs
Many psychological constructs are conceived to be hierarchically structured and thus to operate at various levels of generality. Alternative confirmatory factor analytic ( CFA ) models can be used to study various aspects of this proposition: (a) The one‐factor model focuses on the top of the hierarchy and contains only a general construct, (b) the first‐order factor model focuses on the intermediate level of the hierarchy and contains only speci…

Vocational interests of intellectually gifted and highly achieving young adults
Background. Vocational interests play a central role in the vocational decision‐making process and are decisive for the later job satisfaction and vocational success. Based on Ackerman's (1996) notion of trait complexes , specific interest profiles of gifted high‐school graduates can be expected. Aims. Vocational interests of gifted and highly achieving adolescents were compared to those of their less intelligent/achieving peers according to Holl…
