The relationship between AI-chatbots use, student assessment performance and learning outcomes in higher education
In this study in German higher education, we draw on the first panel of dataset from a longitudinal assessment of domain-specific (DOM) Critical Online Reasoning (COR) in economics in the winter terms 2023/24 (t0) and 2024/25 (t1). DOM-COR tasks were completed as a digital assessment, combining open web search, information evaluation, and reasoning to solve domain-specific scenarios. For this, many students used Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatb…

Tracking knowledge and confidence trajectories
Knowledge-related confidence has recently gained increasing attention as a metacognitive factor influencing students’ knowledge acquisition, learning, and performance. However, longitudinal and cross-domain evidence on how confidence develops in relation to domain knowledge remains scare. This study addresses this gap by examining development of economic knowledge and corresponding confidence among students in two major study domains – Economics …
Using digital tools in teacher education for fostering instructional competence among (pre-service) teachers
Teachers’ instructional competence to integrate information and communication technology into the classroom has become essential. However, teachers often lack the disposition to put these corresponding demands into practice. Recent research proposes that the use of (digital) learning tools in teacher education can help to promote the required content-specific and generic dispositions at an early stage. Following the critical discourse of competen…
Estimating the dimensionality of learning
Psychometrics traditionally has assumed that the changes occurring during learning have the same dimensionality as the targeted construct. This approach is akin to understanding learning as climbing a mountain: for each ability a student can increase their ability, decrease it, or not change it. However, an alternative approach has recently been suggested – learning score analysis. This analysis is grounded in the assumption that students “slide …
Global Education without Walls
Increasingly, students use the internet for self-directed learning in higher education, requiring them to develop skills to determine which information is reliable and accurate. Although the need to understand, evaluate, and promote such skills is crucial, little is known about the students’ search for and use of online sources (and the key influences of those sources) in higher education. Current research indicates both that students need specif…
Improving study admission through entry diagnostics using a validated subject-specific test
According to teaching-learning theories, interventions in educational practice require a valid diagnosis of students’ learning preconditions. Cognitive dispositions at the beginning of studies are the strongest predictor of knowledge acquisition. In the context of increasing numbers of beginning students with heterogeneous preconditions, valid entry diagnostics are indispensable to inform education practitioners about students’ study-related prec…
How migration background affects master degree students’ knowledge of business and economics
In this study, we examine the knowledge of students in a master program in business and economics and explore whether migration-specific influences can be determined. We tested the knowledge of 1,451 students from 40 universities in Germany in the content areas of accounting, finance, and microeconomics. Migration background had a significant influence on the knowledge of master degree students in these three areas. Based on our empirical results…
The relationship between medical students’ media use and learning progress
The acquisition of warranted domain-specific knowledge is essential for practical work in medicine. The medical field, however, suffers from 'information overload', and students and physicians rely on access to verified, up-to-date information. Based on prior research, we investigated (1) which media medical students use for learning, (2) how their media use changes over the course of studies, and (3) how their media use and changes therein influ…
Progressions in Learning in the Age of (Mis)Information (PLATO) – Advances in Higher Education Learning Research

The gap between knowledge and belief
One of the central challenges educators face today, especially in higher education, is the gap between warranted (domain-specific) knowledge and the prior beliefs students hold about certain concepts and phenomena (preconceptions). In the Internet age, students often self-directedly acquire knowledge from an increasingly large number of contradictory sources of information, many of which are biased or untrustworthy. Based on existing research, th…
Students’ online information use and learning progress in higher education – A critical literature review
Learning using the Internet has become a vital factor for academic success in higher education. Students increasingly rely on the Internet as their main information source. However, related research is still an emerging and highly fragmented field. Therefore, this study aims to provide a comprehensive and integrative review of research literature on student learning vis-à-vis using the Internet. The review encompasses research on students' strate…
Validity and fairness of a new entry diagnostics test in higher education economics
Entry Assessment of Student Learning Preconditions in Higher Education
The acquisition of domain-specific knowledge and interdisciplinary skills such as critical thinking is increasingly gaining significance as key learning outcomes in higher education that are crucial for all professionals and engaged citizens and that enable lifelong learning. Despite this socio-political consensus, up until the last decade there have only been a few evidence-based insights into the competencies of higher education students. There…
Gender gap in Swiss vocational education and training teachers’ economics content knowledge and the role of teaching experience
In the commercial sector, which is of crucial importance to the Swiss economy among other countries, a large number of apprentices are trained on a vocational education and training programme every year. Besides other subjects, the subject Economics and Society forms an integral part of the vocational education and training curriculum and serves to prepare apprentices for professional, economic and civic participation. Although content knowledge …

Positive Learning in the Age of Information
While information and communication technology has a vast influence on our lives, little is understood about its effects on the way we learn. In the Age of Information, students - consciously or not - are learning in diverse formal and informal environments from a broad variety of sources, with scientific knowledge competing against unfounded assertions, and misinformation and biased data spreading through social and mass media. The Positive Lear…
Strukturanalyse eines kognitiven Messinstruments im Multiple Choice-Format
Despite considerable progress in the development of computer-based, simulative, and adaptive assessment tools, traditional paper-pencil performance tests are predominantly used in education research and practice. On closer examination, however, the internal structure of these tests reveals aspects that remain unnoticed if only standard testing parameters, usually determined in pilot studies, are considered for the assessment. We use the German ve…

Modeling and Measuring Competencies in Higher Education
Measuring competencies acquired over the course of higher education is an area of research that largely has been neglected. This deficit can be attributed to the complexity of academic competencies since the variety of institutions, programs, occupational fields and job requirements render it difficult to define and even harder to measure outcomes. Thus, assessing the preconditions for and effects of competency development is a challenge methodol…

Gender Effects in Assessment of Economic Knowledge and Understanding
Gender effects in large-scale assessments have become an increasingly important research area within and across countries. Yet few studies have linked differences in assessment results of male and female students in higher education to construct-relevant features of the target construct. This paper examines gender effects on students’ economic content knowledge with a focus on construct-relevant explanations. Moreover, we compare gender effects c…
