text: "Context: The implementation of successful measures to support immigrants'
integration in cultural, social, and economic life can be considered as one of
today's greatest challenges for many societies. This is especially true for adolescent
immigrants who have not yet been able to finish education or gain qualifications
relevant to joining the labour market. That is why many receiving countries have
developed and implemented special programmes that aim at supporting immigrants'
integration by facilitating their employability. Unfortunately, not much is known
about the process of implementing these programmes or about how education systems,
schools, and teachers are dealing with the new situation and target group. In
this contribution, the implementation, development, and challenges of German Vocational
Integration Classes (VIC), as an example of comparable programmes in the EU, are
investigated to address this research gap. The paper considers the following exploratory
research questions: (a) What challenges have been experienced by teachers and
social workers in the implementation of VIC as well as in the integration of immigrants
into the labour market in recent years? (b) How can these challenges be met in
the long run and how should VIC be developed to better achieve its aims? \r\n\r\nMethods:
To answer these questions, a sequential qualitative study containing questionnaire
and interview elements was conducted. First, teachers and social workers involved
in VIC filled in a questionnaire about their experiences and experienced challenges
in implementing VIC (N = 46). Then, supplementing interviews were conducted with
participants from the first sample in order to generate further insights and to
contextualise the findings from the first study part (N = 14). \r\n\r\nFindings:
From the respondents' answers, it appears that the VIC programme is well implemented.
The results show, however, that central challenges continue to exist. This concerns,
for example, legal regulations or the development of adequate curricula, but also
the scope and quality of language education. In addition, problems have also been
identified with regard to students' culture-specific education and their individual
attitudes. These prevailing problems seem to affect schooling and educational
processes. In addition, respondents report feeling left alone to deal with problems
and that their experiences from their daily work in VIC and with immigrants are
not sufficiently taken into account in policy and school-related decisions. \r\n\r\nConclusions:
Although VIC seems well implemented, key challenges remain in the view of the
participants. It was found that teachers cannot solve many of the identified problems
themselves, as they require action at the level of policy or school organisation.
For staff, this can be accompanied by increased stress and demotivation. For the
young immigrants, the existing challenges can have a long-term impact on school
success and transition to vocational education and training. The study thus highlights
the importance of targeted and holistic strategies to support immigrant integration
through education. "

text: Das erste Studienjahr wird als wesentlicher Übergang von der Schule in die
Hochschule angesehen. Im Vordergrund steht dabei häufig die Fragen der Identitätsfindung
der Studierenden und das "Ankommen" im neuen Lebensabschnitt (Briggs, Clark, &
Hall, 2012; Scanlon, Rowling, & Weber, 2007). In diesem Zusammenhang werden ganz
unterschiedliche Aspekte untersucht, z. B. die vorhandenen Lernkompetenzen oder
das Zeitmanagement der Studierenden (Barron & D'Annunzio-Green, 2009), vorhandene
Einführungsprogramme an Hochschulen (z.B. Gale & Parker, 2012) oder dem ‚student
engagement‘ während des ersten Jahres (Krause & Coates, 2008). Obwohl die Motivation
der Studierenden als starker Prädiktor für die Leistung angesehen wird (z. B.
Busato, Prins, Elshouta, & Hamaker, 2000), wurde die Motivationsentwicklung im
ersten Studienjahr bis dato nur selten betrachtet. Die vorliegende Mixed Methods-Studie
setzt an dieser Forschungslücke an und untersucht die Entwicklung der Studienmotivation
von Wirtschaftsstudierenden im Verlauf des ersten Studienjahres. Im Rahmen einer
quantitativen Längsschnittuntersuchung mit drei Messzeitpunkten wird dabei die
Motivationsentwicklung über die gesamte Studierendenpopulation hinweg erfasst.
Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, wie sich die intrinsische und extrinsische Studienmotivation
sowie die studienbezogene Selbstwirksamkeit über das erste Studienjahr verändern.
Zudem wird untersucht, inwiefern verschiedene studienbezogene Variablen (z. B.
Angst) sich auf die Motivationsentwicklung auswirken. Um vertiefte Erkenntnisse
über die Bedeutsamkeit verschiedener Gestaltungsmerkmale des ersten Studienjahres
auf die Motivationsentwicklung der Studierenden zu gewinnen, wurde parallel zur
quantitativen Untersuchung eine qualitative Längsschnittstudie durchgeführt mit
dem Ziel, (1) verschiedene Verläufe der Motivationsentwicklung und (2) kritische
Ereignisse im Eingangsjahr zu identifizieren. Das vorliegende Papier zeigt in
den folgenden beiden Kapiteln den theoretischen Bezugsrahmen der Studie und die
methodische Vorgehensweise. Daraufhin werden die Ergebnisse sowohl der quantitativen
als auch der qualitativen Studie dargestellt und im Rahmen der Diskussion miteinander
verbunden.

text: The transition from school to university can be overwhelming for some students.
While students' motivation is considered a strong predictor of performance, the
development of motivation during students' transition from high school to university
has rarely been investigated. Additionally, little is known about the relation
of motivational aspects with other influences on study performance. The present
mixed methods study addresses this research gap and examines the development of
economics students' study motivation. The longitudinal mixed-method study included
three waves of data collected using quantitative surveys and a series of five
interviews conducted with 14 first-year students over eight months. Regarding
students' development over time, the quantitative analysis showed a gradual decline
in students' motivation. However, in the interviews, certain events during the
first year were identified as critical incidents demotivating students. These
insights into the development of students' motivation at a business school show
that concrete incidents influence students' motivational development; thus, they
could be transformed by structural changes.

text: 'Auseinandersetzungen über Forschungsmethodologien haben in den Bildungswissenschaften
lange Tradition. Sie werden häufig unversöhnlich und mit Profilierung der Gegensätze
geführt. Für uns hängt die Sinnhaftigkeit einer Forschungskonzeption von der Problemstellung
und dem Erkenntnisinteresse ab. Dies gilt auch für Design-Based Research (DBR).
Dieser Ansatz entstand als Reaktion auf die Kritik an mangelnder praktischer Anwendung
von Befunden aus der empirisch-analytischen Lehr-Lernforschung. Als Ergebnis werden
Theorien angestrebt, die für die Praxis einen Nutzen bieten und zugleich über
die Anwendung in einer singulären Situation hinausgehen. Wir wollen folgenden
Fragen nachgehen: Wo liegen die Gemeinsamkeiten, wo die Spezifika von DBR gegenüber
bestehenden Methodologien? Wie wird der Generalisierungsanspruch von Theorien
innerhalb von DBR verstanden und umgesetzt? Für welche Erkenntnisinteressen eignet
sich DBR? Welche Methoden sind für DBR sinnvoll und können wie angewendet werden?'
