Measuring Motivational Concepts and Personality: Aspects in the National Educational Panel Study
(2019)
Dieses Kapitel stellt die Auswahl und den Einsatz von motivationalen Konzepten und Persönlichkeitsaspekten im Nationalen Bildungspanel vor. Die Konstruktauswahl basierte dabei auf Gemeinsamkeiten gängiger Motivations- und Persönlichkeitstheorien, um dadurch Forschungsarbeiten aus verschiedenen theoretischen Perspektiven anzuregen. Aufgenommen wurden Lernmotivation und Anstrengungsbereitschaft, persönliche Ziele, allgemeine Interessenorientierungen, Sachinteresse, Selbstkonzept (allgemein und domänenspezifisch), sowie Persönlichkeitsaspekte und ausgewählte Dimensionen sozialer Kompetenzen und des Erziehungsverhaltens. Bei der Auswahl der theoretischen Konstrukte und der zu deren Erfassung einzusetzenden Testverfahren stand die Anwendbarkeit über den gesamten Lebensverlauf hinweg im Vordergrund. Innerhalb des Nationalen Bildungspanels trägt diese integrierende Zusammenstellung von motivationalen Konzepten und Persönlichkeitsaspekten zur Verbesserung des Verständnisses von Bildungsprozessen und Kompetenzentwicklung von der frühen Kindheit bis ins späte Erwachsenenalter bei.
This chapter outlines the use and measurement of motivational concepts and personality aspects in the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS). The selection of concepts combines elements that prevalent motivation and personality theories have in common, thereby promoting research from different theoretical perspectives. The constructs measured are learning motivation and effort, personal goals and goal pursuit, general interest orientations, topic-related interests, self-concept (both general and domain-specific), personality aspects, and selected social skills and parenting behavior dimensions. These theoretical constructs and their corresponding measurements presented in this chapter were chosen on the basis of their applicability across the complete life course. Within NEPS, this integrated compilation of motivational concepts and personality aspects improves our understanding of educational processes and competence development from infancy to late adulthood.
Following Michael Lipsky's well‐known argument that policy is made in the daily encounters between street‐level bureaucracy and citizens, a growing body of research emphasizes that actors and organizations delivering social and labor‐market policy play a crucial role in welfare‐state politics. Using qualitative data collected at three local employment agencies in Germany, this article explores worker‐client relations as a crucial mechanism through which activation policies are translated into practice. The analysis investigates how caseworkers define their role and their relationships with clients. The findings show that it is essential for caseworkers to achieve client compliance. In such a context, building relationships of trust is a strategic instrument in overcoming possible barriers to co‐operation in the caseworker‐client interaction. Caseworkers develop strategies to create the impression of trustworthiness and to motivate both unemployed clients and employers to become trust‐givers in the caseworker‐client relation. While research has often stressed the dichotomy between disciplining and enabling elements of activation policies, our explorative study shows that persuasion and trust‐building are a further important dimension of the frontline delivery of activation policies. These strategies reflect the importance of emotional aspects of frontline work.
The Relevance of Religion in the Public Sphere - Religion and Migration in Educational Systems
(2019)
Current Social and Educational Situation in Germany
Schools in German immigration society must struggle with a lot of challenges. About one third of the refugees are school-age children and youth. At least 300,000 of them have entered the German educational system. Every third child has a migration biography and teachers are often hardly prepared to deal with these conditions.
Many of the refugee and displaced children and youth come from Arabic countries. They bring along their Muslim religion and culture into a secular society formerly moulded by Christianity. This situation requires a lot of special accommodations. Besides language barriers and being mindful of their traumatic experiences, teachers need to be sensitive in particular with intercultural and interreligious conflict situations.
According to the survey “Teacher Training in an Immigrant Society” 2016 , it is expected that they provide individual aid to the increasing number of young refugees and children who need assistance. The expectations are high, but the teachers receive very little support.
The authors of the study, the Mercator Institute at Cologne University and the Expert Council of German Foundations on Integration and Migration, asserts that despite the normal case of diversity in classrooms, apprenticeship and in-service learning concepts for teachers are not modified accordingly. The survey revealed that deficits are evident in teacher education in German states and the lacks are responsible for this situation.
