Writing is considered the most arduous academic task in school. Many students struggle with motivating themselves to engage in text production due to the enormous cognitive load it requires. In this pilot study, we used a simple electronic device that emits silent vibration signals at programmed intervals to help five sixth graders to stay focused…

Flunger, Barbara; Gaspard, Hanna; Häfner, Isabelle; Brisson, Brigitte M.; Dicke, Anna-Lena; Parrisius, Cora; Nagengast, Benjamin; Trautwein, Ulrich – AERA Open, 2021
Many students suffer from motivational problems when doing homework. To investigate whether an intervention that effectively promoted value beliefs in mathematics promoted students' homework motivation and behavior, we analyzed data from a cluster randomized controlled study with two classroom-based relevance interventions (writing a text or…

Direct linkBirnbaum, Lisa; Schüller, Elisabeth M.; Kröner, Stephan – Educational Psychology, 2020
While leisure writing may help children to acquire writing skills, it can also be considered as an inherently valuable cultural activity. This study explores how children's beliefs may explain to what extent children are inclined to leisure writing and if there are any gender differences. Building on preliminary scale development work, we analysed…

Bohndick, Carla; Menne, Christina M.; Kohlmeyer, Susanne; Buhl, Heike M. – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2020
Internet-based self-assessments (ISAs) are tools used to support finding the right educational fit for higher education (HE) students. ISAs typically consist of a questionnaire followed by a feedback report about the results. It is unknown how the characteristics of the feedback report itself affect individuals' acceptance and motivation to follow…

Tannert, Swantje; Gröschner, Alexander – European Educational Research Journal, 2021
The school closures due to the ongoing worldwide COVID-19 pandemic have posed an enormous challenge for all entities that take part in our children's education. By displacing learning from schools to home environments, the crisis poses a risk of emotional and motivational problems. Based on research regarding the role of peers, learning in groups,…

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…

Janke, Stefan; Messerer, Laura A. S.; Daumiller, Martin – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Aims: Higher education systems around the world have enforced campus closures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Such measures may threaten students' basic psychological needs for relatedness, competence and autonomy, and the development of intrinsic learning motivation. Little is known about whether the implementation of campus closures yielded…

Endres, Tino; Leber, Jasmin; Böttger, Cornelius; Rovers, Sane; Renkl, Alexander – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2021
The foundation of how students usually learn is laid early in their academic lives. However, many or even most students do not primarily rely on those learning strategies that are most favorable from a scientific point of view. To change students' learning behavior when they start their university education, we developed a computer-based adaptive…

Vietze, Jana; Schwarzenthal, Miriam; Moffitt, Ursula; Civitillo, Sauro – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2023
Across continental Europe, educational research samples are often divided by 'migrant background', a binary variable criticized for masking participant heterogeneity and reinforcing exclusionary norms of belonging. This study endorses more meaningful, representative, and precise research by offering four guiding questions for selecting relevant,…

Pilz, Matthias; Ebner, Christian; Edeling, Sabrina – Oxford Review of Education, 2020
More than a quarter of all trainees in Germany's dual vocational training system have the Abitur -- the German school-leaving qualification that entitles them to go to university. Some go to university after completing their apprenticeship, but others move straight into full-time employment. There is currently very little reliable empirical data…

Private tutoring is part of the everyday life of hundreds of thousands of students all around the world, and its prevalence is growing. However, despite a proliferation of research on private tutoring, little is known about the role that school plays in shaping the phenomenon. This study investigates school-related factors that may affect private…

Wirthwein, Linda; Steinmayr, Ricarda – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2021
The operationalization of performance-approach goals (PAGs) was found to be an important moderator of the associations between different PAGs and several educational outcomes. To explore this aspect in more detail, we conducted two studies with school students (N[subscript 1] = 425, mean age = 16.6 years, SD = 0.61; N[subscript 2] = 310, mean age…

Wolff, Fabian; Helm, Friederike; Möller, Jens – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2018
Students compare their achievement in a subject with their classmates' achievements (social comparison), their own prior achievements (temporal comparison), and their achievements in other subjects (dimensional comparison), which can each be better (upward comparison), equal (lateral comparison), or worse (downward comparison). Prior research has…

van der Beek, Sophie; Bellhäuser, Henrik; Hertel, Silke – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2021
In preparation for graduating from high school, students face the challenge of having to learn the subject matter of several school years with little guidance. The ability to self-regulate learning is conducive to this. Research has shown that students' self-regulated learning can be successfully promoted through training. However, when such…
