Article
Full-text available
The theme of the current Studia paedagogica issue is the exploration of mistakes in learning and teaching. The special issue presents a chance to comprehensively explore the complexity of student mistakes and errors and their significance in school teaching. The included studies examine this phenomenon from the perspectives of both teachers and stu...
Article
Background Errors can provide informative feedback and exhibit a high potential for learning gains. Affective‐motivational and action‐related reactions to errors are two forms of error adaptivity that have been shown to enhance learning outcomes from errors. However, little is known regarding the development and contextual conditions of students' e...
Preprint
Self-regulation of motivation is highly relevant—particularly in higher education. Although there is considerable evidence on the effects of motivational regulation, little is known about its training. In two consecutive studies it was examined whether university students’ motivational regulation is trainable and can be improved by addressing three...
Research Proposal
Full-text available
The special issue of Studia paedagogica is focused on the meanings of mistakes, errors, and failures in the process of learning and on individual experiences related to these phenomena in different educational contexts.
Article
Full-text available
Background Dealing with errors in the classroom is a crucial aspect of instructional quality and has multiple consequences for students' own dealing with errors, their learning and their achievement. The available literature on error climate indicates a paucity of research on the effects of perceived error climate on social aspects such as student–...
Article
Learners utilize a variety of strategies to regulate their motivation. Theoretical models of motivational regulation imply a connection between the decision for a concrete strategy and the specific situational requirements. Accordingly, one would expect that the suitability of a strategy depends on how well it fits the motivational problem in quest...
Article
To elucidate how teachers' goals matter for instructional practices and classroom goal structures, we conducted a study with 84 secondary school teachers and their 1447 students. Students reported classroom goal structures and specific mastery- and performance-oriented instructional practices. Teachers reported personal achievement goals and studen...

Article
Full-text available
A frequent observation in the school context is that opportunities to learn from errors are often missed. However, a positive error climate may support learning from errors. For the school subject of mathematics, some findings about characteristics of the error climate already exist. But, a comparison of the error climate between different school s...
Chapter
Summarized are the results of a research project that focused on assessing and fostering competences for self-regulated learning in higher education. Innovative instruments (situational judgement test, competence-performance-assessment, learning journal) to assess different aspects of self-regulated learning (e.g., use of cognitive and metacognitiv...
Article
For learners, motivational regulation represents a daily challenge in terms of initiating, increasing and maintaining motivation. Crucial here is conditional knowledge about which motivational regulation strategies are appropriate for which specific motivational problems. This paper addresses the relationships between this type of strategy knowledg...
Article
Reformschulen verfolgen von ihrem Selbstverständnis her einen Ansatz, der u. a. durch eine starke Betonung von Individualisierung und der Selbstregulation des Lernens gekennzeichnet ist. Bezüglich der motivationalen Bedingungen im Unterricht kann entsprechend erwartet werden, dass sich Reformschulen gegenüber Regelschulen durch ein günstigeres moti...
Article
Full-text available
Previous studies have shown that the use of motivational regulation strategies has the potential to sustain invested effort and persistence in the learning process. Combining different methods (questionnaires and standardized diaries), the present study aimed to determine the role of motivational regulation in an exam preparation period. Motivation...
Article
Research on learning from errors gives reason to assume that errors provide a high potential to facilitate deep learning if students are willing and able to take these learning opportunities. The first aim of this study was to analyse whether beliefs about errors as learning opportunities can be theoretically and empirically distinguished from adap...
Article
Effective regulation of motivation can be theoretically explained by both the extent of motivational regulation strategies used (quantity) and their optimal implementation (quality). Researchers have not yet analysed the significance of both aspects for learning success simultaneously. In the present study, 188 students were presented with differen...
Article
It is argued that learners' motivational regulation is strongly situation-specific and depends on the motivational problems that trigger regulation. A 2 × 3 model is proposed in which motivational problems are distinguished between low expectancies for success vs. poor subjective task values in three different phases of the learning process (before...
Article
Full-text available
Errors bear the potential to improve knowledge acquisition, provided that learners are able to deal with them in an adaptive and reflexive manner. However, learners experience a host of different—often impeding or maladaptive—emotional and motivational states in the face of academic errors. Research has made few attempts to develop a theory that fo...

Full-text available
Zusammenfassung. Schülerinnen und Schüler reagieren auf Fehler unterschiedlich adaptiv. Die vorliegende Arbeit betrachtet die Ausprägung und die Entwicklung adaptiver Fehlerreaktionen und prüft hierauf den Einfluss individueller (Fähigkeitsselbstkonzept, Lernzielorientierung) und kontextueller (Klassenlernzielstruktur) Determinanten. Dazu wurden Da...
Article
Competencies in self-regulated learning (SRL) are seen as central prerequisites for success in academic studies. It is still unclear as to which SRL strategies are most effective in which learning situations. Based on surveys conducted among 306 expert SRL practitioners, the present work provides evidence regarding the relative importance, and SRL...

Article
A global characteristic of higher education is the opportunity and necessity for students to self-regulate their learning. In contrast to considerable research focusing on self-regulated learning (SRL) from a behavioural perspective, little is known concerning the underlying competencies which enable students to succeed in SRL. A structural model i...
Article
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde untersucht, wie Studierende abhängig von den spezifischen Ursachen mangelnder Lernmotivation (geringe Erfolgserwartung vs. geringer subjektiver Wert in drei Phasen der Lernhandlung) ihre Motivation regulieren. 54 Studierende gaben an, wie erfolgreich sie sich bei den genannten 2 × 3 Regulationsanlässen motivieren un...
Chapter
Full-text available
In allen Sektoren gesellschaftlicher Praxis werden Fehler gemacht, die sich außerordentlich verschieden und ambivalent auf den Erfolg dieser Praxis auswirken können. Im Zentrum der Beiträge dieses Bandes steht die Frage nach den Bedingungen, unter denen sich Fehler als Ausgangspunkte für Lern- und Entwicklungsprozesse konzipieren und nutzen lassen....
Article
Although making errors while learning is common, it is also frequently perceived by students as something negative, shameful and experienced as a potential threat to self-worth. These perceptions often prevent students from regarding errors as learning opportunities. The result is that the potential to learn from them – which is inherent to errors...
Chapter
Für diese Arbeit wurden zwei Studien durchgeführt, mit deren Hilfe verschiedene Forschungsfragen untersucht werden sollten. Basierend auf verschiedenen Arbeiten sowohl aus dem pädagogisch-psychologischen als auch dem organisationspsychologischen Kontext (z.B. Oser & Spychiger, 2005; Rybowiak et al., 1999; van Dyck et al., 2005) waren die ersten Zie...
Chapter
Neben dem bereits beschriebenen individuellen Umgang mit Fehlern, dem hohe Relevanz für das Lernen aus Fehlern zugemessen wird, stellt die soziale Komponente einen weiteren zentralen Faktor für das Lernen aus Fehlern dar. Beide, sowohl der individuelle als auch der gemeinsame Umgang mit Fehlern innerhalb einer sozialen Gruppe, tragen zum Lernen bei...
Chapter
Studie 1 bestand aus einer querschnittlichen Fragebogenerhebung, die in zwei Schulstunden pro Klasse durchgeführt wurde. Dadurch, dass Studie 1 in zwei Erhebungswellen durchgeführt wurde, ergaben sich kleinere Unterschiede im Untersuchungsdesign (Abbildung 6 bzw. Abbildung 7). Jede Schülerin und jeder Schüler beantwortete dabei insgesamt zwei (Well...
Chapter
Studie 2 bestand aus einer zweiphasigen Erhebung pro Klasse. Zunächst fand eine erste Erhebung anhand von Tests und Fragebögen statt. Etwa eine Woche danach wurde eine Videografie einer Mathematikstunde in der Klasse durchgeführt. Der Ablauf ist in Abbildung 12 schematisch dargestellt.
Chapter
Die Aussage “fallor ergo sum” (zitiert nach Heinzmann, 2008, S. 78) vom Kirchenlehrer Augustinus stellt das Irren des Menschen ins Zentrum des Seins und ist somit ein Hinweis auf die Relevanz des nicht Richtigen, des Misslungenen, des Fehlers. Dennoch haftete Fehlern über lange Zeit und bis heute andauernd das Negative, Ungewollte, Schlechte an, da...
Chapter
In diesem Abschnitt soll zunächst der individuelle Umgang mit Fehlern als Forschungsgegenstand dargelegt werden. Dieser wurde in der Literatur bisher im Vergleich zum Fehlerklima weit umfänglicher bearbeitet. Insbesondere zum Bereich der Beschreibung und Erklärung motivationaler und emotionaler Reaktionen nach Fehlern liegen vielfältige Theorien un...
Chapter
In diesem Kapitel werden zunächst Merkmale der Definition von Fehlern dargestellt. Anschließend werden Zusammenhänge zwischen Fehlern und verwandten Begriffen aufgezeigt und Abgrenzungen zu diesen vorgenommen. Schließlich werden einige zentrale Fehlertaxonomien präsentiert.

Die Verwendung von Humor im Unterricht wird in der Humorforschung als effektive Möglichkeit zur Förderung von Lernprozessen postuliert. Zur Reduktion bestehender Defizite in diesem Forschungsfeld werden Ergebnisse präsentiert, die auf einer Befragung von 1525 Schülerinnen und Schülern aus 90 Schulklassen der siebten bis neunten Jahrgangsstufe zu ih...
Article
Theoretisch kann die Adaptivitat von zwei Arten von Reaktionen auf Fehler unterschieden werden: Die affektiv-motivationale Adaptivitat (z. B. Aufrechterhaltung von Lernfreude) sowie die Handlungsadaptivitat (z. B. Initiierung von passenden Lernhandlungen). Zwei Studien im Schulfach Mathematik mit N = 315 und N = 640 Schulerinnen und Schulern liefer...
Article
Errors are often perceived by students as self-threatening and not as learning opportunities. The present work focuses on contextual influences on reactions to errors and learning processes. Based on prior research, a conceptualization of perceived error climate in the classroom with eight subdimensions and one superordinate uniform factor is propo...
Article
Full-text available
Relations between teachers' goal orientations, their instructional practices as expressed in perceived classroom goal structures and students' goal orientations were analyzed, focusing also on potential mod-erators. Results of a questionnaire study with 46 Mathematics teachers and their 930 students supported the assumption that teachers' goal orie...
Article
Full-text available
The present work addresses the roles of, and the interplay among, general intelligence, individual achievement motivation and the motivational characteristics of classroom learning environments (perceived classroom goal structures) with respect to the emergence of (excellent) performances in elementary school. We analyzed a dataset of 796 elementar...
