Schröder, Anna Isabel; Cammann, Franca; Darge, Kerstin; Krepf, Matthias; Weyers, Jonas; König, Johannes – Journal of Education for Teaching: International Research and Pedagogy, 2023
Promoting research knowledge and skills (RKS) is an important task of teacher training programmes. One way of fostering RKS is through research-based learning (RBL). However, student teachers often struggle with the acquisition of RKS and do not benefit from RBL like students of other study programmes. This paper suggests e-learning as one part of…

Gummer, Tobias; Kunz, Tanja – Sociological Methods & Research, 2022
Knowledge questions frequently are used in survey research to measure respondents' topic-related cognitive ability and memory. However, in self-administered surveys, respondents can search external sources for additional information to answer a knowledge question correctly. In this case, the knowledge question measures accessible and procedural…

Engelen, Eva; Budke, Alexandra – Education Inquiry, 2023
In secondary school geography lessons, students are encouraged to form argumentatively founded opinions on complex geographical conflicts. For these conflicts, there is no one right solution and the content quality of the argumentation lies especially in the multi-perspective approach to the conflict and the integration of spatial information. The…

Cornelia Schoor; Jean-François Rouet; M. Anne Britt – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Previous research on document selection has found that college-level readers are generally able to differentiate trustworthy from less trustworthy sources. Yet, a preference for selecting trustworthy sources may depend on features of the reading situation and readers' beliefs in science. In the current study, college students were tasked with…

We investigated how the sequence of presenting social media sources in an unsupervised inductive learning setting supports the acquisition of source evaluation skills in two different age groups. Participants were 63 upper and 59 lower secondary students. They had to identify characteristics of trustworthiness while studying sources labeled as…

Heppt, Birgit; Olczyk, Melanie; Volodina, Anna – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2022
The present study investigates the incremental validity of the traditional books-at-home measure and selected extensions (i.e., number of children's books and number of ebooks) for explaining students' academic achievement as measured by their academic language comprehension. Using multiple linear regressions, we additionally explore the role of…

Gottschling, Steffen; Kammerer, Yvonne – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
This eye-tracking study examines how differences in sources' trustworthiness are used by readers to regulate and resolve conflicting scientific claims. One hundred forty-four university students were sequentially presented with two conflicting scientific claims (regarding nanotechnology) across two texts. The claims were indicated to stem from two…

Buscher, Christian – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
Statistical literacy is a skill that will be required by all students, but only limited insights exist into how it can be developed in middle schools. Research is required that identifies design principles and provides didactic materials for developing statistical literacy in actual middle school classrooms, meaning classrooms in which statistics…

Wertgen, Andreas G.; Richter, Tobias; Rouet, Jean-François – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
This study examined the role of source credibility in the validation of factual information embedded in short narratives. In a self-paced reading experiment, we tested the assumption that the degree of (im-)plausibility determines the extent that source credibility affects validation during comprehension. We used reading times of target and…

Females and people belonging to ethnic minorities tend to be underrepresented in science occupations. The goal of this paper was to investigate the needs of students of different gender and ethnicity in terms of vocational orientation in order to tailor future interventions to their needs. This paper finds that students of different gender and…

Mary Opio-Göres; Ingo Kollar; Birgit Dorner – Journal of Social Work Education, 2024
Assessing cases of child welfare requires the ability to engage with different sources of information systematically. This study examined how case-based learning (CBL) can be used to support social work students (N = 104) acquire knowledge crucial to assessing cases of child welfare and whether benefits of CBL could be maximized by structuring the…

Belova, Nadja; Krause, Moritz – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Social media are a popular source of information for young people, serving the purposes of not only communication but also the creation and distribution of content as well as advertising. However, that content may contain science-related information that in many cases is not based on scientifically proven sources. Content creators and/or…

Priemer, Burkhard; Pfeiler, Stephan; Ludwig, Tobias – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
We report the findings of an empirical study that investigated whether the source of data--firsthand or secondhand data gained from lab work experiments--has an influence on students' learning outcomes. Results indicate that students' choice of a correct or incorrect hypothesis for a pendulum lab experiment on the influence of the mass of the bob…

Paul, Johanna; Stadtler, Marc; Bromme, Rainer – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
Due to the increasing educational use of the Internet, children in elementary school need to critically evaluate source information to judge the trustworthiness of information. Studies with adult readers show that sourcing prompts and mutually exclusive claims in reading materials promote the use of source information. However, little is known…

Luciana Maria Cavichioli Gomes Almeida; Stefan Münzer; Tim Kühl – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: According to the personalization effect in multimedia learning, the use of personal and possessive pronouns in instructional materials (e.g., 'you' and 'your') is beneficial. However, current research suggests that the personalization effect is inverted for emotionally aversive content (e.g., illnesses). Objective: This study…
