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…

Felicitas Pielsticker; Magnus Reifenrath – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2024
The following survey study uses a quantitative research design to investigate motivational and affective aspects of students (aged 14-17) in a mathematical workshop on graph theory. Motivational and affective aspects are related to heart rate measurement (using the digital medium of a pulse watch) in mathematical knowledge development processes in…

Julia Jensen; Olaf Köller; Friederike Zimmermann – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2024
This study examined whether adolescent students' externalizing behavior and prosocial behavior affects their academic achievement (i.e., school grades and standardized test scores) in two major academic domains (i.e., mathematics and German) over and above well-established determinants of school achievement (i.e., prior achievement, intelligence,…

Melisa Castellanos; Alexander Wettstein; Ludwig Bilz; Sebastian Wachs – International Journal of Developmental Science, 2023
There are scarce studies on bystanders' responses to racist hate speech. The present study was rooted in the general aggression model to examine the direct and indirect associations between witnessing racist hate speech and bystanders' active defending behaviors. Moreover, we examined if these associations varied as a function of the immigration…

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…

Mulders, Miriam – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2022
Theoretical background: Learning in virtual realities (VR) has become increasingly important. In this context, VR appears to be particularly conducive to affective learning objectives, such as perspective-taking in VR actors. Previous research has often focused on investigating cause-effect relationships that focus on the direct effects of…

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…

Marcus Kubsch – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
Energy is a central concept across the sciences and an important goal of science education is to support all students so that they develop a full understanding of the energy concept. However, given the abstract and complex nature of the energy concept, only a few students develop an understanding so that they can use energy ideas to make sense of…

Isaak, Ricarda Corinna; Kleinert, Svea Isabel; Wilde, Matthias – European Journal of Educational Research, 2022
For biology students, the diversity, complexity, and abundance of content in this field yield a heavy study load. Hence, appropriate learning strategies are key in supporting learners' academic success. In biology, the factors gender and interest hold a unique position within the natural sciences, as there is an academic imbalance to the…

Hackemann, Timo; Heine, Lena; Höttecke, Dietmar – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
Students with high reading proficiency typically achieve better results in science assessments, indicating the importance of reading proficiency. Since the process of reading is a complex interaction between properties of a text and a reader, the linguistic demands of a text might affect text comprehension. Certain linguistic features, such as…

Tibken, Catharina; Richter, Tobias; Wannagat, Wienke; Schmiedeler, Sandra; von der Linden, Nicole; Schneider, Wolfgang – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
The inconsistency task is used to measure metacognitive monitoring in text comprehension via online (reading time) and offline measures (number of detected inconsistencies). Few studies have examined stability in task performance and interindividual differences. We addressed these issues with adolescents (N = 341) in Grades 6/7 (Mage =…

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…

Lenz, Katja; Dreher, Anika; Holzäpfel, Lars; Wittmann, Gerald – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
Background: Concerning students' difficulties with fractions, many explanatory approaches are based on the distinction between conceptual knowledge and procedural knowledge. For further research in this field, it is thus crucial to make these constructs accessible to valid measurement. Aims: In this study, we aim at developing a test instrument…

Bakadorova, Olga; Lazarides, Rebecca; Raufelder, Diana – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2020
While school self-concept is an important facilitator of a student's school engagement, previous studies rarely investigated whether it may also explain the change in students' school engagement during secondary school. Moreover, as social relations play an increasingly important role in adolescence, the current research distinguishes between the…
