Großmann, Nadine; Hofferber, Natalia; Wilde, Matthias; Basten, Melanie – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2023
When it comes to biology lessons in Germany, girls generally exhibit higher levels of self-determined motivation than boys. Previous research suggests that fostering student autonomy could be a way to effectively address this gender gap. To investigate gender-related effects in biology education, a sample of 303 sixth-grade students (M[subscript…

Yanan Zhang; Ying Zhan; Zhi Hong Wan; Daner Sun – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
Formative assessment has been long emphasised as a powerful means for enhancing science learning. However, there is still a lack of research to investigate the impacts of formative assessment on both students' motivational beliefs and behaviours in science learning. This study examined such impacts using data from six Western and six East Asian…

Parrisius, Cora; Gaspard, Hanna; Zitzmann, Steffen; Trautwein, Ulrich; Nagengast, Benjamin – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
In their situated expectancy-value theory, Eccles and Wigfield (2020) assume students' competence and value beliefs to be situation-specific and thereby to be "situative" in nature. Even though motivation research has gradually been developing an understanding of this situative nature, for instance, by disentangling time-consistent and…

Jacob, Barbara; Hofmann, Florian; Stephan, Melanie; Fuchs, Katharina; Markus, Stefan; Gläser-Zikuda, Michaela – Studies in Higher Education, 2019
Students' achievement emotions have an impact on learning and academic success. Therefore research on learning and teaching in higher education should not only focus on cognitive outcomes but on students' emotions, as well. The aim of our quasi-experimental study was to analyze students' achievement emotions based on the control-value approach in…

Kulgemeyer, Christoph; Hörnlein, Madeleine; Sterzing, Fabian – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Studies have shown the potential of explainer videos. An alternative is a written explanation, as found in science textbooks. Prior research suggests that instructional explanations sometimes lead to the belief that a topic has been fully understood, even though that is, not the case. This 'illusion of understanding' may be affected by the medium…
