Abstract (english): This paper presents the development of an instrument for the assessment of system competence in the field of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). Based on an already existing, more complex model of system competence for the school subject geography, we have developed a test that refers to central themes and principles of ESD using exclusively closed answer formats. Building on the results of cognitive laboratories and expert feedback from various fields, the instrument was (further) developed in an iterative process of feedback and revision. We conducted a quantitative pilot study with N = 366 8th and 9th grade students. The results indicate that the development of our system competence test was successful-the overall test yielded a high reliability and only very few items were not working as intended. Furthermore, the difficulties of the items were appropriate for the ability levels of the students and the results of a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) suggest that the newly developed test measures system competence with one dimension. As the test is compact, easy to interpret, and yet reliable, it is particularly suitable for monitoring purposes in the field of ESD.

Abstract: Deficits in phonological information processing in upper elementary students with specific learning disabilities in reading or spelling may increase, decrease, or remain stable over time. The authors examined the development of phonological processing longitudinally in 209 students (109 with learning disabilities and 100 typically achieving; n = 127 boys) in Germany, from grade 3 to grade 5 (ages 8-11; mean age at recruitment = 8 years 6.78 months, SD = 5.39 months). Latent change score models revealed that the development of rapid automatized naming was best described as a decreasing deficit, whereas a persistent deficit in phonological awareness was observed. Differences between students with and without learning disabilities regarding the phonological loop increased over time. Further, there were no developmental differences as a function of reading versus spelling deficits. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. (DIPF/Orig.)

Abstract: Small-group interventions allow for tailored instruction for students with learning difficulties. A crucial first step is the accurate identification of students who need such an intervention. This study investigated how teachers decide whether their students need a remedial reading intervention. To this end, 64 teachers of 697 third-grade students from Germany were asked to rate whether a reading intervention for their students was "not necessary," "potentially necessary," or "definitely necessary." Independent experimenters tested the students' reading and spelling abilities with standardized tests, and a subsample of 370 children participated in standardized tests of phonological awareness and vocabulary. Findings show that teachers' decisions with regard to students' needing a reading intervention overlapped more with results from standardized spelling assessments than from reading assessments. Hierarchical linear models indicated that students' spelling abilities, along with phonological awareness and vocabulary, explained variance in teachers' ratings over and above students' reading skills. Teachers, thus, relied on proximal cues such as spelling skills to reach their decision. These findings are discussed in relation to clinical standards and educational contexts. Findings indicate that the teachers' assignment of children to interventions might be underspecified, and starting points for specific teacher training programs are outlined. (DIPF/Orig.)

Title: Orthographic knowledge predicts reading and spelling skills over and above general intelligence and phonological awareness

Abstract (english): It is widely accepted that general intelligence and phonological awareness contribute to children's acquisition of reading and spelling skills. A further candidate in this regard is orthographic knowledge (i.e., the knowledge about permissible letter patterns). It consists of two components, word-specific (i.e., the knowledge of the spelling of specific words) and general orthographic knowledge (i.e., the knowledge about legal letter patterns of a writing system). Among German students, previous studies have shown that word-specific orthographic knowledge contributes to both reading and spelling. The results regarding general orthographic knowledge and its contribution to reading and spelling are inconsistent. The major goal of the present study was to determine the incremental predictive value of orthographic knowledge for reading and spelling skills among German elementary-school children (N= 66), over and above the contribution of general intelligence and phonological awareness. The second goal was to examine whether there is a difference between the two subtypes of orthographic knowledge in the amount of their respective contribution to reading and spelling performance. The results show that word-specific as well as general orthographic knowledge con- tribute to both reading and spelling performance, over and above intelligence and phonological awareness. Furthermore, it reveals that both word-specific and general orthographic knowledge explain more variance of spelling compared to reading. Possible explanations for these results, limitations, and implications of the study are being discussed. (DIPF/Orig.)

Abstract (english): The NAEP EDM Competition required participants to predict efficient test-taking behavior based on log data. This paper describes our top-down approach for engineering features by means of psychometric modeling, aiming at machine learning for the predictive classification task. For feature engineering, we employed, among others, the Log-Normal Response Time Model for estimating latent person speed, and the Generalized Partial Credit Model for estimating latent person ability. Additionally, we adopted an n-gram feature approach for event sequences. Furthermore, instead of using the provided binary target label, we distinguished inefficient test takers who were going too fast and those who were going too slow for training a multi-label classifier. Our best-performing ensemble classifier comprised three sets of low-dimensional classifiers, dominated by test-taker speed. While our classifier reached moderate performance, relative to the competition leaderboard, our approach makes two important contributions. First, we show how classifiers that contain features engineered through literature-derived domain knowledge can provide meaningful predictions if results can be contextualized to test administrators who wish to intervene or take action. Second, our re-engineering of test scores enabled us to incorporate person ability into the models. However, ability was hardly predictive of efficient behavior, leading to the conclusion that the target label's validity needs to be questioned. Beyond competition-related findings, we furthermore report a state sequence analysis for demonstrating the viability of the employed tools. The latter yielded four different test-taking types that described distinctive differences between test takers, providing relevant implications for assessment practice. (DIPF/Orig.)

Abstract: Die Teilstudie StEG-Tandem begleitete drei Schuljahre lang fünf Ganztagsschulen bei der Umgestaltung von Hausaufgabenbetreuungen bzw. Lernzeiten. Unter Einbezug von Schulbegleitern und im Dialog zwischen Wissenschaft und Praxis wurden schulspezifische Konzepte zur Einführung kooperativer Lernformen entwickelt, umgesetzt und evaluiert. Das verbindende Element zwischen den Schulen war die Konzeption eines Peer Mentorings, bei dem ältere Schülerinnen und Schüler jüngere Lernende bei der Aufgabenbearbeitung unterstützen. (DIPF/Orig.)

Abstract: Der Einsatz älterer Schülerinnen und Schüler zur Lernunterstützung von Jüngeren - hier: Peer Mentoring - ist eine vielversprechende Möglichkeit zur Umsetzung individueller Förderung in Hausaufgabenbetreuung bzw. Lernzeiten, so die theoretische Annahme. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt allerdings, dass es kaum einen Unterschied für die Schülerinnen und Schüler macht, ob die Hausaufgabenbetreuung bzw. Lernzeit mit oder ohne Peer Mentoring umgesetzt wird. Doch weisen die Analysen darauf hin, dass sich ein Lern- und Motivationsgewinn eher dann einstellt, wenn sich die Schülerinnen und Schüler durch die Mentorinnen und Mentoren unterstützt fühlen. Die Schüler-MentorBeziehung hängt positiv mit der Entwicklung der Englischleistung zusammen. Insgesamt aber verbessert das Peer Mentoring die Leistungen nicht.

Title: Quantum of choice. How learners' feedback monitoring decisions, goals and self-regulated learning skills are related

Abstract: Learning analytics dashboards (LADs) are designed as feedback tools for learners, but until recently, learners rarely have had a say in how LADs are designed and what information they receive through LADs. To overcome this shortcoming, we have developed a customisable LAD for Coursera MOOCs on which learners can set goals and choose indicators to monitor. Following a mixed-methods approach, we analyse 401 learners' indicator selection behaviour in order to understand the decisions they make on the LAD and whether learner goals and self-regulated learning skills influence these decisions. We found that learners overwhelmingly chose indicators about completed activities. Goals are not associated with indicator selection behaviour, while help-seeking skills predict learners' choice of monitoring their engagement in discussions and time management skills predict learners' interest in procrastination indicators. The findings have implications for our understanding of learners' use of LADs and their design. (DIPF/Orig.)

Abstract: Einleitend zeigen die Autor*innen, in welchem institutionellen Kontext eines sich entwickelnden, die gesamte Bevölkerung einschließenden, also inkludierenden, und gleichzeitig differenzierenden Bildungswesens die in den Beiträgen des Bandes beschriebenen, verschiedenen pädagogischen und psychologischen Praktiken der Kategorisierung und Selektion von Schüler*innen entstanden. Erst in dieser Perspektive einer langen Geschichte schulischer Inklusion wird in aller Klarheit ersichtlich, dass und wie so anscheinend ganz unterschiedliche und unabhängig voneinander existierende Ereignisse und Debatten, wie die um die Entstehung der Hilfsschule in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts, die Diskussionen unter Lehrkräften und Schulmännern über die Abiturprüfung um 1900 oder diejenigen unter Vertreter*innen einer empirischen Pädagogik und Psycholog*innen zur Entwicklung der Ausleseverfahren im Übergang von der Grundschule in das höhere Schulwesen in den 1920er Jahren, miteinander verknüpft sind. Gleichzeitig erweist sich dabei auch die Frage nach spezifischen disziplinären und professionellen Blickwinkeln - vor allem der Pädagog*innen und der Psycholog*innen - und deren Praktiken als ebenso eng wie komplex verwoben mit politischen und pädagogischen Ideen eines Aufstiegs durch Bildung, des offenen Zuganges zu Bildungsressourcen und damit schließlich nach Gerechtigkeit.

Abstract: Test translation can easily go wrong. Just to give a few examples: In one PISA study the term 'space suit' was rendered as 'special suit' in the Spanish version and the item had to be dropped; in another higher-education study, the translated rubric talks about a 'goal scorer' instead of 'scorer', and in a school test 'early agrarian society' was rendered 'a society with agrarian industry'. These errors were detected before the tests were actually conducted as a result of translation quality control checks.³ These examples show how important it is to have professionals do the translations, using rigorous methodologies. While these examples may lead some to believe that it would be easier to simply write the tests in the language of the respondents with no translation involved, this is not an option for international tests or surveys, particularly in many countries that have more than one national language. [...]
The goal of this article is to illustrate the challenges of test translation and to describe some of the measures that have been implemented to deal with these challenges. We will first explain what international large-scale assessment studies (iLSA) are: We will give a brief outline of their history; describe their contents, goals and their political impact. Next, we will use an actual test item from the PIAAC study as an example to illustrate which questions and difficulties come up when test items are translated. We will then describe the strategies that have been developed to deal with these translation challenges. Here we will mostly draw on strategies for the PISA- and PIAAC-tests. In the final section, we will discuss the remaining challenges, with a focus on the role of language in diverse societies. (DIPF/Orig.)
