Mixed-mode surveys are popular as they can save costs and maintain (or improve) response rates relative to single-mode surveys. Nevertheless, it is not yet clear how design decisions like survey mode or questionnaire length impact measurement quality. In this study, we compare measurement quality in an experiment of three distinct survey designs…

Gummer, Tobias – Sociological Methods & Research, 2019
Survey research is still confronted by a trend of increasing nonresponse rates. In this context, several methodological advances have been made to stimulate participation and avoid bias. Yet, despite the growing number of tools and methods to deal with nonresponse, little is known about whether nonresponse biases show similar trends as nonresponse…

Damerau, Karsten; Atzert, Ramona; Peter, Anna; Preisfeld, Angelika – Cogent Education, 2021
Students' causal attributions play an important role in recent studies due to their effects on academic self-concept and performances. Most common causal attributions are students' ability, effort, task difficulty, and chance. The present study aims at identifying students' preferred causal attributions of failure and success while experimenting.…

Shibata, Miki – English Language Teaching, 2021
According to previous studies, Japanese learners of English (JLEs) have a negative perception of their own variety of English along with a strong desire to sound native-like. Language attitudes toward L2 (second language) English accents may affect their active participation in English communication situations. The present study is cross-national…

Lang, Jessica; Schmitz, Bernhard – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2020
The research in the field of positive psychology is alive for children and adolescents, and especially the effects of intervention studies are promising. While a large number of instruments exist for adults, there is a need for greater attention to basic measurement work of constructs for children. The Satisfaction With Life Scale is one of the…

Zierer, Klaus; Matanovic, Iva; Werner, Jochen; Wernke, Stephan – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2018
The study refers to the unfavourable reputation and status of general didactics as well as its decreasing importance in teacher education. This is a result of poor performance achieved in international tests by students. They score low on knowledge and arguments, and empirical studies indicate that didactic models are useless. In view of the above…

Binder, Nadine; Odag, Ozen; Leiser, Anne; Ludders, Lisa; Kedzior, Karina Karolina – European Journal of Educational Research, 2018
Higher education institutions increasingly seek to promote students' intercultural competence (IC), yet its conceptualization remains a challenge. The first aim of this study was to explore how a purposive sample of n = 77 domestic, undergraduate students at a public university in Germany define IC. The second aim was to assess to what extent such…

Purpose: There is a widely held belief that sustainable development (SD) policies are essential for universities to successfully engage in matters related to sustainability, and are an indicator of the extent to which they are active in this field. This paper aims to examine the evidence which currently exists to support this assumption. It…

Rosar, Michaela; Lipka, Alexander; Weidlich, Joshua; Bastiaens, Theo – International Journal on E-Learning, 2018
This quasi-experimental study compares preferences for the amount of instructional guidance between creative and noncreative learners. Instructional guidance is implemented as a two-level factor represented as two variants of a visual design task, only differing in the amount of verbal guidance they gave. Dependent preference outcomes were…

Pieschl, Stephanie; Kuhlmann, Christina; Porsch, Torsten – Journal of School Violence, 2015
Cyberbullying is usually defined by utilizing offline criteria for bullying ("repetition," "power imbalance," "intent to harm"). However, this ignores the potential relevance of cyber-specific factors ("publicity," "medium," "type" [i.e., denigration]). We compared six factors, each with…

Based on a research project comprising data from an interview study and a survey with teachers and school principals in four German federal states ("Bundesländer"), this paper questions the claim that the side effects of accountability in education are bound to high-stakes contexts, and also provides evidence of side effects occurring in…

Neuert, Cornelia Eva; Lenzner, Timo – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2016
In this study, we investigated whether incorporating eye tracking into cognitive interviewing is effective when pretesting survey questions. In the control condition, a cognitive interview was conducted using a standardized interview protocol that included pre-defined probing questions for about one-quarter of the questions in a 52-item…

Schmidt, Laura I.; Sieverding, Monika; Scheiter, Fabian; Obergfell, Julia – Educational Psychology, 2015
University students often report high stress levels, and studies even suggest a recent increase. However, there is a lack of theoretically based research on the structural conditions that influence students' perceived stress. The current study compared the effects of Karasek's demand-control dimensions with the influence of neuroticism to address…

Kapp, Felix; Proske, Antje; Narciss, Susanne; Körndle, Hermann – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2015
Effective studying in web-based learning environments (web-LEs) requires cognitive engagement and demands learners to regulate their learning activities. One way to support learners in web-LEs is to provide interactive learning questions within the learning environment. Even though research on learning questions has a long tradition, there are…
