Umgang mit Fehlern und seine Bedeutung für den Lernerfolg im Englischunterricht
by Julia KäferDie Arbeit widmet sich dem Umgang mit Fehlern im Unterricht und untersucht empirisch seine Bedeutung für den Lernerfolg von Schülerinnen und Schülern im Fach Englisch der Sekundarstufe I. Hierzu wird ein multiperspektivischer Untersuchungsansatz verfolgt: Neben der Perspektive der Schülerinnen und Schüler werden auch Einschätzungen externer Beobachterinnen und Beobachter zum Umgang mit Fehlern im Unterricht herangezogen. Unter Berücksichtigung des aktuellen theoretischen und methodischen Forschungsstandes wird damit einerseits der Zusammenhang zwischen der Wahrnehmung von Schülerinnen und Schülern zum Umgang mit Fehlern im Unterricht und ihrer Leistung wie auch ihrer Lernmotivation untersucht und gleichzeitig geprüft, inwieweit die Schülerwahrnehmung durch individuelle Schülermerkmale sowie durch Merkmale des Lernkontexts beeinflusst wird. Andererseits wird in dieser Arbeit das Potenzial der in der empirischen Unterrichtsforschung bislang wenig eingesetzten Thin-Slices-Methode exploriert und geprüft, inwieweit heuristische Urteile externer Beobachterinnen und Beobachter geeignet sind, um ein so spezifisches und komplexes Unterrichtsmerkmal wie den Umgang mit Fehlern zuverlässig zu erfassen.

Understanding the Holocaust at KS3: How and why did it happen?
by Professor Stuart Foster Dr Andy Pearce Dr Eleni Karayianni Helen McCordIn 2016 the UCL Centre for Holocaust Education published a landmark study, What do students know and understand about the Holocaust?

The Centre is enormously grateful for their support. The Wiener Holocaust Library also provided considerable assistance in developing the textbook.
