On the one hand, expectations of primary school teachers are high. On the other hand, a specific pedagogical professionalism of primary school teachers is doubted again and again. In fact, a ...compilation of requirements and competences that apply specifically to primary school teachers does not yet exist. While in the discourse on professional theory, challenges for and demands on the professionalism of secondary school teachers seem to be discussed and empirically developed, in the discourse on primary school pedagogy, methodological-didactic questions as well as structural framework conditions come into view, without grasping the consequences for the actions of primary school teachers and framing them in terms of professional theory. The aim of this volume is therefore to link the two discourses more closely and to look at the professionalisation of primary school teachers from different perspectives.
Einerseits sind die Erwartungen an Grundschullehrkräfte hoch. Andererseits wird immer wieder eine spezifische pädagogische Professionalität von Grundschullehrkräften bezweifelt. Tatsächlich existiert eine Zusammenstellung von Anforderungen und Kompetenzen, die speziell für Grundschullehrkräfte gelten, bislang nicht. Während im professionstheoretischen Diskurs vorrangig Herausforderungen für und Anforderungen an die Professionalität von Lehrkräften der Sekundarstufe diskutiert und empirisch erschlossen zu werden scheinen, geraten im grundschulpädagogischen Diskurs methodisch- didaktische Fragen sowie strukturelle Rahmenbedingungen in den Blick, ohne dabei die Konsequenzen für das Handeln von Grundschullehrkräften zu fassen und professionstheoretisch zu rahmen. Ziel dieses Bandes ist es daher, die beiden Diskurse stärker miteinander zu verbinden und die Professionalisierung von Grundschullehrkräften aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven in den Blick zu nehmen.
For a long time, historical educational research has seen a decline in its representation in university teaching and academic posts. Concurrently, its thematic and methodological variation has ...expanded impressively in the last two decades. This volume, dedicated to Edith Glaser, aims to enrich the legitimacy discourse on the importance and necessity of educational historical expertise from two perspectives. On the one hand, it presents exemplary fields of research in the history of education, on the other hand, contributions show the relevance of historical educational research for other (sub-)disciplines.
Für die Historische Bildungsforschung ist seit langem ein Rückgang ihrer Repräsentanz in der Lehre und in akademischen Stellen zu verzeichnen. Zugleich hat sich das thematische und methodische Spektrum dieser Teildisziplin der Erziehungswissenschaft in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten beeindruckend erweitert. Dieser, der Bildungshistorikerin Edith Glaser gewidmete Band soll jener stetig wachsenden Vielfalt der Historischen Bildungsforschung Rechnung tragen und den Legitimationsdiskurs über Nutzen und Notwendigkeit bildungshistorischer Erkenntnisse aus zwei Sichtweisen bereichern. So werden zum einen exemplarische Beschäftigungsfelder bildungshistorischen Arbeitens aufgezeigt, zum anderen wird die Relevanz der Historischen Bildungsforschung als Bezugspunkt für andere Teildisziplinen der Erziehungswissenschaft, der Politikwissenschaft und der Geschichtswissenschaft dokumentiert.
The assumption social studies and science in primary education to be a key-component in realizing inclusive teaching in primary classrooms for all children but especially for children with emotional ...and behavioral difficulties in special needs education is fundamental to this work. Nevertheless, there is nearly no research-based evidence on how potentials for inclusion and social learning are used in primary schools or special schools nor is there research on how teaching is planned, realized, and accounted for. This desiderate is addressed in this work. By analyzing and thereby linking the discourses in social studies and science in primary education and special education for children with emotional and behavioral difficulties, principles for education and teaching in both domains are summarized. This is the theoretical foundation of a mixed- methods-study with a two-step-design to explore the teaching practices and teachers’ beliefs of teachers in inclusive primary schools and special schools for children with emotional and behavioral difficulties in North Rhine-Westfalia, Germany. The study is composed of a partly standardized questionnaire survey (n= 80) followed by qualitive interviews with teachers as experts (n = 10). Data is consequently triangulated to explore the structure of teaching practices and possible determinants concerning the teachers, framework conditions and the learning groups. The results indicate that life-world-oriented education, disturbed student-teacher-interactions and professional lesson planning between child, method and teaching materials are important issues for the development of inclusive teaching in social studies and science in primary education. Consequently, the study outlines future fields of research and development derived from an explorative view at teaching practices in inclusive and separative education settings.
Ausgangspunkt bildet die Annahme, dass der Sachunterricht, als Kernfach der Primarstufe über seinen Allgemeinbildungsanspruch, der eine vielperspektivische und an der Lebenswelt der Kinder orientierte Sacherschließung beinhaltet, ein besonderes Potenzial sowohl für ein Lernen in inklusiven Lerngruppen wie spezifisch für Schülerinnen und Schüler mit sonderpädagogischem Förderbedarf im Bereich der sozial-emotionalen Entwicklung besitzt. Wie diese Potenziale in der Praxis genutzt werden bzw. wie sich eine diesbezügliche Praxis im Gemeinsamen Unterricht der Grundschule bzw. Förderschule überhaupt gestaltet, stellt jedoch ein umfassendes Desiderat dar, dem sich die vorliegende Arbeit widmet. Als analytische Referenzpunkte werden die bisher weitgehend unverbundenen Bezugsdiskurse der Sachunterrichtsdidaktik sowie der Sonderpädagogik im Förderschwerpunkt emotionale und soziale Entwicklung hinsichtlich ihrer zentralen pädagogisch-didaktischen Leitprinzipien befragt und in Beziehung zueinander gesetzt. Die geschaffene theoretisch-konzeptionelle Grundlagen bildet den Rahmen für eine zweiphasige Mixed-Methods-Studie zur Unterrichtspraxis sowie handlungsleitenden Motiven von Lehrkräften im Gemeinsamen Unterricht sowie an Förderschulen mit dem Förderschwerpunkt emotionale und soziale Entwicklung in Nordrhein- Westfalen. Die Erhebung setzt sich aus einer teilstandardisierte Fragenbogenerhebung (n = 80) sowie nachgelagerten qualitative Experteninterviews (n = 10) zusammen, deren Ergebnisse über eine konsequente Triangulationsstrategie aufeinander bezogen werden, um die sachunterrichtliche Angebotsstruktur sowie damit verknüpfte Einflussfaktoren auf Ebene der Lehrkräfte, der Rahmenbedingungen sowie der Lerngruppen im Vergleich der beiden Beschulungssettings zu explorieren. Die Ergebnisse werfen dabei bedeutsame Frage für die konzeptionelle Weiterentwicklung einer inklusiven Sachunterrichtsdidaktik im Kontext von Lebensweltorientierung, gestörten Lehr-Lern-Interaktionen sowie professionellem Planungshandeln zwischen Kind, Methode und Material auf. Die Untersuchung umreißt hierzu gemäß ihrem explorativen Charakter mögliche zukünftige Entwicklungsfelder.

The appeal of probability theory in everyday activities has resulted in its incorporation into the curricula of most countries. However, confusion persists within the international scientific ...community regarding the suitable age for introducing students to probability concepts. Several researchers argue that children at a young age are unable understand the concepts of probability, while other researchers believe that with appropriate teaching interventions, children can comprehend probabilistic concepts. This study aims to address the controversial issue by conducting a study involving two groups of students. In the first group, the researchers provide a short teaching a brief probability teaching session and subsequently ask the children to complete a worksheet related to the topic. In the second group, students complete the worksheet without any prior teaching. The study results show that teaching has a positive effect on the development of students' knowledge and perceptions regarding probabilities. As a consequence, new opportunities and requirements emerge in the field of probability education.

•Parental, teacher, and peer autonomy support all positively predicted student motivation and engagement.•Above relations were mediated by psychological need satisfaction.•The model showed strong ...invariance across gender.•To target all three social agents in multi-level interventions will optimize student motivation and engagement.
Little research has simultaneously examined the differential effects of autonomy support from parents, teachers, and peers (social agents) on students’ psychological need satisfaction, motivation, and school engagement. Drawing from Self-Determination Theory, this study examined the joint effects of perceived autonomy support from these three social agents on psychological needs, motivation, and engagement of 614 Chinese primary school students. Results revealed that perceived autonomy support from parents, teachers, and peers positively and uniquely predicted student psychological need satisfaction. The effect was strongest for parental autonomy support, although a model constraining the paths from all three social agents to be equal fit equally well. Need satisfaction predicted greater self-determined motivation and student engagement and mediated the effects of all three social agents on student motivation and engagement. The model showed strong gender invariance. The results highlight the importance of targeting all three social agents in multi-level interventions that aim to optimize student motivation and school engagement.
Background
Globally, suicide is the fourth highest cause of adolescent mortality (Suicide: https://www.who.int/news‐room/fact‐sheets/detail/suicide). The effects of post‐primary school‐based suicide ...prevention (PSSP) on adolescent suicidal thoughts and behaviours (STBs) have not been comprehensively synthesised. We aim to estimate the population effect for PSSP interventions on adolescent STBs and explore how intervention effects vary based on intervention and contextual moderators.
Methods
Searches of PsycINFO, Medline, Education Source, ERIC, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials identified cluster randomised trials examining the effectiveness of PSSP on adolescent STBs. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool assessed bias. Crude and adjusted back‐transformed odds ratios (ORs) were calculated. Multilevel random‐effects models accounted for dependencies of effects. Univariate meta‐regression explored variability of intervention and contextual moderators on pooled effects.
Results
There were 19 and 12 effects for suicidal ideation (SI) and suicide attempts (SA). Compared with controls, interventions were associated with 13% (OR = 0.87, 95%CI 0.78, 0.96) and 34% (OR = 0.66, 95%CI 0.47, 0.91) lower crude odds reductions for SI and SA, respectively. Effects were similar for adjusted SI (OR = 0.85, 95%CI 0.75, 0.95) and SA (OR = 0.72, 95%CI 0.59, 0.87) models. Within‐study (0.20–9.10%) and between‐study (0–51.20%) heterogeneity ranged for crude and adjusted SA models and SI heterogeneity was 0%. Moderator analyses did not vary SA effects (ps > .05).
Conclusions
This meta‐analysis contributes to the PSSP evidence‐base by demonstrating that PSSP targeting STBs as both primary intervention outcomes and with other health and well‐being outcomes reduced SI and SA among 33,155 adolescents attending 329 schools, compared to controls. The number needed to treat estimates suggests the potential of reducing the incidence of SA and SI in one adolescent by implementing PSSP in 1–2 classrooms, supporting PSSP as a clinically relevant suicide prevention strategy. Although moderator analyses were nonsignificant and contained a small number of trials, larger SA effect sizes support particular effectiveness for interventions of a duration of ≤1 week, involving multiple stakeholders and with a 12‐month follow‐up.
The aim of the present study is to identify educational language devices that primary school pupils produce within non-fiction texts and to examine them with regard to their form-function ...relationship within non-fiction texts. The study is based on 474 texts written by learners in the second to fourth grades. In order to correspond to the complexity of the object of research, all 474 texts were first examined for the realisation of educational language devices by means of a cross-method triangulation with sequential design with the help of a quantitative frequency analysis on the basis of a deductively developed category system. Subsequently, a partial corpus (n=28) of the data material was selected by means of interleaved sampling and a content-structuring qualitative content analysis was carried out on the basis of a deductively-inductively developed category system in order to relate the educational language devices back to their function. The results of the study complement the findings of previous studies and provide important indications for future research into the means and skills of the language of education. At the same time, the findings enable conclusions to be drawn for the design of language-sensitive subject teaching.
Ziel der vorliegenden Studie ist es, bildungssprachliche Mittel, die Grundschüler/-innen innerhalb von Sachunterrichtstexten produzieren, zu identifizieren und diese hinsichtlich ihres Form-Funktions-Zusammenhangs innerhalb von Sachtexten zu untersuchen. Datengrundlage der Studie stellen 474 Texte von Lernenden der zweiten bis vierten Jahrgangsstufe dar. Um der Komplexität des Forschungsgegenstands zu entsprechen, wurden mittels einer methodenübergreifenden Triangulation mit sequentiellem Design zunächst alle 474 Texte mit Hilfe einer quantitativen Frequenzanalyse auf Grundlage eines deduktiv entwickelten Kategoriensystems auf die Realisierung bildungssprachlicher Mittel hin untersucht. Nachfolgend wurde mittels verschränktem Sampling ein Teilkorpus (n=28) des Datenmaterials ausgewählt und eine inhaltlich strukturierende qualitative Inhaltsanalyse auf Grundlage eines deduktiv-induktiv entwickelten Kategoriensystems durchgeführt, um die bildungssprachlichen Mittel auf ihre Funktion zurück zu beziehen. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung ergänzen die Befunde bisheriger Studien und liefern bedeutsame Hinweise für die zukünftige Erforschung bildungssprachlicher Mittel bzw. bildungssprachlicher Fähigkeiten. Gleichzeitig ermöglichen die Befunde Rückschlüsse für die Gestaltung eines sprachsensiblen Fachunterrichts. (DIPF/Orig.)
