Purpose: This study aims to better understand the role of gender in the reciprocal relations between intrinsic reading motivation and reading comprehension during adolescence. Method: Utilizing data from the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS), this study focuses on a representative sample (N = 8,317) of German secondary school students, with…

Michiko Sakaki; Kou Murayama; Anne C. Frenzel; Thomas Goetz; Herbert W. Marsh; Stephanie Lichtenfeld; Reinhard Pekrun – Child Development, 2024
This study examined how adolescents' emotions in mathematics develop over time. Growth curve modeling was applied to longitudinal data collected annually from 2002 to 2006 (Grades 5-9; N = 3425 German adolescents; M[subscript age] = 11.7, 15.6 years at the first and last waves, respectively; 50.0% female). Results indicated that enjoyment and…

Felix Bittmann – Reading Research Quarterly, 2025
Do children with better reading competence read more, or do avid readers increase their reading competence? This highly relevant question has been discussed for many years, yet conclusive results are rare. Previous studies suffer from small sample sizes or omitted variable bias, rendering their findings questionable. We provide new insight using…

Anne-Kathrin Sieg; Daniel C. Dreesmann – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
Hands-on activities are considered to be particularly suitable for generating long-term knowledge that increases environmentally friendly behaviour. Appropriate flagship species in a respective curricular context can enable high-quality education. We have developed a teaching concept and material for hands-on activities with bumblebees. This…

Lisa Bardach; Claudia Neuendorf; Kou Murayama; Thorsten Fahrbach; Michel Knigge; Benjamin Nagengast; Ulrich Trautwein – npj Science of Learning, 2023
Early ability tracking increases inequalities in education. It has been proposed that the awareness of negative school-track-related stereotypes contributes to educational inequalities, as stereotype awareness interferes with students' abilities to thrive, particularly those in lower, stigmatized tracks. The present study tested this assumption in…

Nora Heyne; Timo Gnambs; Marie-Ann Sengewald – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2024
Because large-scale studies repeatedly indicated low reading literacy for many students, a need for interventions fostering reading literacy, such as extracurricular tutoring, has often been emphasized. Several reading promoting programs, suitable for extracurricular tutoring, were developed and shown to be effective in recent years. Moreover,…

Anna Hawrot – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Background: The control-value theory of achievement emotions postulates that it is possible to affect achievement emotions by decreasing or increasing control and value appraisals. This implies that changes in the latter should result in changes in the former. However, the assumption has been rarely tested. Aims: This study aimed at verifying…

Laura Engler; Andrea Westphal – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
Students' intrinsic motivation to read, which is relevant to all forms of learning, tends to decline throughout secondary school. Based on self-determination theory (SDT), this study examines whether this downward trend is slowed when students perceive greater autonomy support in the classroom. We used large-scale panel data from the NEPS…

Anna-Lena Neurohr; Nadine Pasch; Alexander Bergmann-Gering; Andrea Möller – Journal of Environmental Education, 2024
To promote pro-environmental behavior (PEB), it is crucial to understand the drivers behind it. Studies indicate that, in addition to environmental attitudes and nature activities, interest in nature drives people to engage in PEB. However, the relationship between interest in nature and PEB is still greatly understudied among adolescents even…

Julia Matthes; Michael Schneider; Franzis Preckel – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
The relation between prior knowledge and learning has been investigated in many studies. However, a recent meta-analysis showed that most of these studies suffered from serious methodological shortcomings, as they failed to account for knowledge growth over time, possible ceiling effects for learners with high prior knowledge, moderating effects…

Anna Hawrot; Ji Zhou – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
Although several longitudinal studies have confirmed that need-supportive teacher behaviour shapes intrinsic motivation in school, longitudinal studies on its role for intrinsic reading motivation are lacking. To fill in this gap, this study investigated whether changes in selected aspects of student-perceived teacher need-supportive behaviour in…

Manuel M. Schwartze; Anne C. Frenzel; Thomas Goetz; Annette Lohbeck; David Bednorz; Michael Kleine; Reinhard Pekrun – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Background: Recent research on boredom suggests that it can emerge in situations characterized by over- and under-challenge. In learning contexts, this implies that high boredom may be experienced both by low- and high-achieving students. Aims: This research aimed to explore the existence and prevalence of boredom due to being over- and…

Goagoses, Naska; Bolz, Tijs; Vesterling, Christina; Koglin, Ute – European Journal of Special Needs Education, 2023
The aim of the current investigation was to compare the association between attachment and behaviour problems in children attending regular schools and children attending special education schools with a focus on emotional and social development. We draw upon data collected from 169 children attending regular schools (M[subscript age] = 9.66), and…

Steuer, Gabriele; Tulis, Maria; Dresel, Markus – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2022
A frequent observation in the school context is that opportunities to learn from errors are often missed. However, a positive error climate may support learning from errors. For the school subject of mathematics, some findings about characteristics of the error climate already exist. But, a comparison of the error climate between different school…

Rzepka, Nathalie; Simbeck, Katharina; Müller, Hans-Georg – Research on Education and Media, 2022
In order to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic, many schools have been closed for several months as of March 2020 in Germany. The unplanned and rapid shift to distance learning formats has led to fears that extensive learning deficits will be created and educational inequality will be further exacerbated. This paper, therefore, investigates the…
