Full textAnfang der 1980er-Jahre ergaben sich im Bildungssektor eine Reihe von Herausforderungen, die im Zusammenhang mit neuen Technologien, neuen Wegen des Informationsaustausches, aber auch des Hinterfragens traditioneller Bildungsansätze standen. Im Ergebnis dessen kam der experimentellen Arbeit im naturwissenschaftlichen Unterricht eine stärkere Rolle zu. Unerwartet schwache Ergebnisse internationaler Vergleichsstudien (z.B. PISA, TIMSS) sowie ein schlechtes Image der Naturwissenschaften und damit einhergehende negative Auswirkungen auf die Kurs- und Berufswahl verstärkten diesen Trend in vielen Industrienationen. Vor diesem Hintergrund und mit dem Ziel, Interesse an Naturwissenschaften zu fördern, wurden in Deutschland in den vergangenen Jahren zahlreiche Schülerlabore etabliert. Trotz der Tatsache, dass die Einrichtungen positive Effekte erzielen, sind diese teilweise gering oder schwächen mit der Zeit ab. Wie bisherige Studien vermuten lassen, scheint die Vor- und Nachbereitung von Veranstaltungen im Schülerlabor eine Lösung hierfür zu bieten. Anhand der vorgestellten Studie soll dies untersucht werden. In diesem Zusammenhang wurde ein Online-Portal für Schülerinnen und Schüler entwickelt. Basierend auf kognitiven und affektiven Inhalten bietet es Teilnehmern die Möglichkeit, ihren Schülerlaborbesuch vor- und nachzubereiten. Die Studie richtete sich an Schüler ab der 10. Klasse der Sekundarstufe 1 und 2, die einen Experimentiertag im Schülerlabor DeltaX am Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf absolvierten. Dabei wurden in Form einer Vergleichsstudie Teilnehmer mit und ohne Nutzung des Online-Portals gegenübergestellt. Die entsprechenden Daten der Untersuchung wurden durch eine Fragebogenerhebung im Pre-Post-Follow-up-Design erhoben. Die Ergebnisse der Studie bestätigen den signifikanten Einfluss des Online-Portals. So zeigen sich durchaus positive Effekte hinsichtlich der Entwicklung des aktuellen Interesses der Schülerinnen und Schüler. Gleiches gilt auch im Hinblick auf verwandte Konstrukte wie das Fähigkeitsselbstkonzept, die wahrgenommenen Merkmale der Laborumgebung und auch abgeschwächt für dispositionale Interessen. Bezogen auf die angestrebte Förderung des aktuellen Interesses zeigte sich, dass vor allem Schülerinnen profitieren. Allerdings ließ sich für die meisten der hervorgerufenen Effekte ein Absinken im Verlauf der Zeit erkennen. Möglicherweise ist das auf die Umsetzung der Nachbereitung im Rahmen des Online-Portals zurückzuführen. Die Ergebnisse lassen die Vermutung zu, dass die Nachbereitung bezüglich des Interesses an Naturwissenschaften und an einem physikalischen Beruf das Potenzial besitzt, mehr Nachhaltigkeit hervorzurufen. Um Vorinteressen der Teilnehmer zu berücksichtigen, konnten drei unterschiedliche naturwissenschaftliche Interessensklassen identifiziert werden. Es stellte sich heraus, dass die Entwicklung des aktuellen Interesses aller drei Interessenklassen durch das Online-Portal gefördert wird. Dies gilt vor allem für die gering naturwissenschaftlich interessierten Schülerinnen und Schüler. Untersuchungen, die sich auf das Online-Portal selbst bezogen, offenbarten zum einen ein hohes Maß an Bereitschaft, sich auch mit dem dafür notwendigen zeitlichen Aufwand auf den Experimentiertag im Schülerlabor vorzubereiten. Zum anderen schätzt die breite Mehrheit der Teilnehmer das Online-Portal für ihre Arbeit im Schülerlabor. Selbst eine umfangreichere Vorbereitung wird von den Schülerinnen und Schülern als akzeptabel betrachtet. Es wird dennoch dazu geraten, die Vor- und Nachbereitung obligatorisch durchzuführen. Insgesamt zeigen die Ergebnisse dieser Studie den positiven Einfluss des Online-Portals bzw. der Vor- und Nachbereitung auf außerschulische Aktivitäten

Full textIn the 21st century, increased school accountability has sharpened the focus of school and district leaders on improving instructional practice to raise student achievement. The implementation of professional leaning communities (PLCs) is one improvement effort in which schools establish collaborative cultures focused on increasing student learning outcomes. Leaders who build learning organizations and implement PLCs in their buildings have the opportunity to create and sustain a context for change and continuous improvement.
This study sought to discover how one high school principal sustains a context for continued improvement through PLCs using case study methodology. Schools comprised of PLCs allow educators to grapple with the unique needs of their children in their specific contexts. The problem is that there is limited literature and research to indicate how leaders sustain PLCs over time. The knowledge of how to sustain learning and improvement over time is needed to facilitate leaders in moving their schools into cultures of collaboration, which is a marked difference from the past 200 years. Therefore, the overarching research question of this study was: How do administrators, teachers, and PLC leaders in a school that has developed and implemented PLCs, sustain a context for continuous improvement?
Using a 360-degree analysis of the case study school, three major findings emerged from this study: the PLCs in a learning organization operate at various phases of PLC development, making the change process to develop, implement, and sustain the work of continuous improvement through PLCs fluid, dynamic, and complex; there are 10 strategies for sustaining the work of PLCs that contribute to the success of effective and mature PLCs to sustain continuous improvement and are therefore instructive in nature; and, the work in the Developing and Implementing phases is critical to the success of PLCs and their ability to sustain a context of continuous improvement.

(cont.) shows that vicarious learning is positively associated with performance. I argue that vicarious team learning is an under-explored dimension of what makes teams and organizations competitive. The chapter concludes by pointing toward a contingency theory of team learning in which the effectiveness of a team learning strategy depends on characteristics in the team's task environment.
This dissertation addresses the subject of team learning strategies and their performance effects in three independent but related chapters. A common theme is the notion that theorizing about team learning as constituted by a set of distinct strategies can improve our understanding of how teams learn, and how it influences performance. The first chapter explores team learning in an inductive study of six teams in one large pharmaceutical firm. I find that many of these teams engage in vicarious team learning--the activities by which a team learns key aspects of its task from the similar experiences of others outside the team--rather than experiential team learning. I detail the nature of vicarious team learning in a model including three component processes: identification, translation, and application. The second chapter reviews the literature on team learning and concludes that it has largely been treated as a uniform construct. Drawing on organizational learning theory, social learning theory, and the literature on the management of innovation and entrepreneurship, I propose that teams learn by deploying at least three different strategies: experiential learning, contextual learning, and vicarious learning. I use the example of a team facing a particularly difficult learning environment to illustrate the significance of viewing team learning as a multi-dimensional construct. The final chapter examines different team learning strategies, and vicarious learning in particular, as a means to understanding learning and performance differences across teams. Vicarious learning is conceptualized as an integral part of how teams learn. A field study of 43 teams in the pharmaceutical industry is used to develop and test the construct and

This dissertation analyzes the strategic implications of customization policies available to companies that must simultaneously provide service and learn about their customers through automated interfaces. The first part of the dissertation lays out the theoretical framework within which the analysis is carried. The second part addresses whether companies should use Internet-based customization tools to design service encounters that maximize customers' utility in the present or explore customers' tastes to provide more value in the future. Good customization policies must quantify the value of knowledge so as to adequately balance the expected revenue of present and future interactions. Such policies can be obtained by analyzing the customization decision problem within the framework of dynamic programming. Interpretation of the service design policies enhances the current understanding of the mechanisms connecting service customization, value creation, and customer lifetime value. This leads to insights into the nature of the relationship between learning, loyalty, and long-term profitability in service industries. The final part of the dissertation considers situations where companies have the ability to acquire information by other means in addition to observing interactions with customers. In information-intensive industries, investments in customer retention often take the form of paying customers to answer questionnaires, or somehow acquiring information about the customers' preferences. The value of customers is convex as a function of knowledge.
(cont.) This means that the more firms know about a customer, the more eager they should be to learn even more. However, the cost of obtaining information about customers increases as knowledge increases. Understanding the interactions between these two functions is fundamental to designing information acquisition policies. In the real world, investment in customer retention must often be balanced with investment in customer acquisition. Therefore, investment in learning about a current customer must depend not only on the current level of knowledge about that customer but also on properties of the population to which potential customers belong. The analysis concludes with the characterization of information acquisition policies for a number of different managerial settings.

The process of improving schools is important. The decision-making and school improvement structures that most schools employ is one that focuses mainly on classroom instruction with little regard to planning for students who may struggle because of outside barriers, like the effects of poverty, lack of exposure to background knowledge, or insufficient schooling and experiences. This study used a qualitative, multiple case-study methodology, a semi-structured interview protocol, and a document review to identify how school principals in five, accredited high or mid-high poverty Virginia middle schools both identified and provided resources to address barriers to student learning. The study used the learning or enabling components of the Adelman and Taylor improvement model (2008) to qualify the school leaders’ site-based school resource allocation and then analyzed them for common themes. The study found that some learning or enabling supports were more represented than others. The study also found that there were three key leadership traits among school leaders who had effectively resourced the learning supports: instructional leadership; human-resource leadership; and culture and expectations leadership.

This dissertation investigates how research organizations learn from and adapt to new knowledge. In particular, I examine how news about scandals, stigmas and failures influences the direction of research and development efforts. These negative information shocks force research organizations to pause, interpret external signals, and apply any lessons to their own project portfolios. I investigate how these negative information events impact decisions in the settings of scientific publishing and drug development. In the first essay, I study the impact of scientific retractions on citation patterns and funding in the retracted paper's intellectual field. I investigate how the retraction disclosure and affected field's characteristics influence the extent of these spillover effects. The second essay evaluates how retraction scandals damage individual scientists' reputations. This study shows that the magnitude of the retraction penalty depends on a scientist's prominence and whether or not the retraction event involved "misconduct." In the third essay, I analyze how late-stage drug development failures alter competitor's project continuation decisions. I separate technological learning effects from market competition effects, and grade decision-making across firms.

Full textTraditional education has looked the same for a very long time - until recently. Digital learning tools - DLTs - have been developed and tested in numerous educational environments around the world, specifically for the science subjects. This project was about how DLTs for mathematics should be developed in order to provide an as complete learning experience as possible. Earlier research has shown the importance of teacher training, as well as the fact that better learning outcomes are achieved when DLTs are used as a supplement to traditional education rather than a substitute. The conclusion in this research is that DLTs still have to be used as a supplement, that the teachers role is of very high importance, and that DLTs have to be able to adapt to individual users with specific needs.

Dörnyei’s (2005, 2009) L2 Motivational Self System has drawn much research attention in the field of L2 motivation. Although this model has been empirically validated in diverse national contexts, no empirical study has utilized the L2 Motivational Self System as a theoretical framework to investigate Taiwanese young learners’ English learning motivation. Previous studies mainly focus on classroom-based L2 learning experience, which is unable to fully reflect learners’ L2 learning experiences (Csizér & Kormos, 2009; Papi, 2010; Taguchi et al., 2009). Particularly in the learning context of Taiwan, in addition to English instructions in formal educational settings, a high percentage of students attend private English institutes (Chen, 2003; Chang, 2008; Chung & Huang, 2010). By distributing questionnaires designed based on the L2 Motivational Self System to 1,698 junior high school students across Taiwan, the present study aims to validate Dörnyei’s L2 Motivational Self System in the context of Taiwan, and further explore how the two types of L2 learning experiences (in school formal English instruction and out of school private English tutoring) affect learners’ motivation towards English learning. To examine learners’ L2 motivation, their intended learning effort, the frequency of their motivated learning behaviors in the English classrooms, and how often they voluntarily learn English outside the classrooms are taken as criteria measures. The findings of the present study show that L2 Learning Attitude and English Learning Experience act as the best predictors of English learning motivation of Taiwanese junior high school students. Ought-to L2 Self is found to be a pertinent contributory factor in Taiwanese young adolescents’ English learning motivation. Further, it seems that additional English instruction outside the formal educational settings changes the correlation between instrumentality-prevention and students’ English learning motivation, and contributes to the emergence of Ideal L2 Self. Through a large scale quantitative research, the findings suggest the feasibility of applying Dörnyei’s L2 Motivational Self System in Taiwan. Theoretically, the stronger influence of Ought-to L2 Self on students’ L2 motivation needs to be further investigated in order to figure out what makes Taiwanese young language learners think they have to learn English. Pedagogically, the present study suggests that English teachers in the formal educational settings could apply motivational teaching practices or motivational strategies aiming to generate and sustain ideal L2 self in order to increase Taiwanese junior high school students’ English learning motivation.
