Publikation Promoting oral argumentation in citizenship education(19.09.2024) Wenger, Liliane; Aydin, Açelya; Hubacher, Manuel; Waldis Weber, MonikaDeliberative democracy theories advocate for the communicative activation of citizens in opinion formation. Therefore, civic education should introduce adolescents to deliberative processes and to promote their argumentative competence, which is understood as both a linguistic and a political competence. In accordance with our roots in deliberative democratic theory, we view argumentation as a dialogue-based process. This makes transactivity a key feature of good civic reasoning. Empirical evidence shows potential for instructional interventions to boost oral reasoning and critical thinking across subjects, but their effects often remain inconsistent. Data also suggests that students in deliberative settings are more willing to engage with opposing arguments and revise their own. Dialogues in small groups facilitate the acquisition of argumentation skills. Despite these findings, there's limited research on argumentation training effectiveness. In an intervention study (grades 8 and 9), Gronostay combined a thematic input with argumentation training, leading to more transactive speech acts during the subsequent fishbowl discussion in the experimental group. However, the revision and adaptation of their own arguments remained largely absent. This study investigates the effectiveness of an adapted version of Gronostay's strategy training in promoting transactive dialogues. The research involved six seasoned teachers and their classes in the 2022/23 school year, who were engaging with the subject of a cashless society. Despite standardized argumentation training, the quality of debates varied significantly between the classes studied. Influences on the quality of the debates include the social structure of the class, the influence of didactic scaffolding, such as argumentation training.06 - PräsentationPublikation Geschichtsdidaktisch intervenieren(hep, 2023) Waldis Weber, Monika; Nitsche, Martin03 - SammelbandPublikation Grenzgänge ZwischenWelten – zur Einleitung(Waxmann, 2021) Kuhn, Konrad J.; Nitsche, Martin; Thyroff, Julia; Waldis Weber, Monika; Kuhn, Konrad J.; Nitsche, Martin; Thyroff, Julia; Waldis Weber, Monika04A - Beitrag SammelbandPublikation Narrative competence and epistemological beliefs of German Swiss prospective history teachers: A situated relationship(University of Newcastle, 2022) Nitsche, Martin; Waldis Weber, MonikaFew history education studies have indicated that school students’ epistemological beliefs affect their historical thinking and writing. Some research has suggested that history teaching could affect these aspects. Several history educators have assumed that (prospective) history teachers’ epistemological beliefs are related to their ways of teaching and to their ability to think historically. Yet evidence underpinning these assumptions is rare. To address this gap, we investigated how prospective German Swiss history teachers’ epistemological beliefs impacts their reading and writing abilities in terms of narrative competence. We therefore applied argumentative writing tasks to assess participants’ narrative competence and surveyed their epistemological beliefs and further contextual covariates (e.g., situational interest, number of history courses attended at university). Results show small effects of participants’ epistemological beliefs on their narrative competence, while their situational interest is more influential. Other contextual constructs (e.g., number of history courses attended at university) are also predictive. Overall, our results indicate that narrative competence and epistemological beliefs are correlated yet situated in contextual aspects.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation »Schülerinnen und Schüler schreiben Geschichte« – Eine Interventionsstudie an Deutschschweizer Gymnasien(Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2020) Waldis Weber, Monika; Nitsche, Martin; Gollin, Kristine01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Schreibprozesse in Geschichte(hep, 2019) Nitsche, Martin; Kristine Gollin; Waldis Weber, Monika; Baur-Ziegler, Beatrice04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Die Entwicklung der geschichtsdidaktischen Forschung am ZDA und ihr Beitrag zur Politischen Bildung(Hier und Jetzt, 2019) Nitsche, Martin; Kübler, Daniel; Glaser, Andreas; Waldis Weber, Monika04A - Beitrag SammelbandPublikation Assessing pre-service history teachers' pedagogical content knowledge with a video survey using open-ended writing assignments and standardized rating items(UCL Press, 2019) Waldis Weber, Monika; Nitsche, Martin; Wyss, CorinneThis paper explores pre-service history teachers' ability to recognize and reflect on typical situations occurring in the history classroom and to link these to students' historical learning. Therefore, we draw on the concept of professional vision (Goodwin, 1994), which assumes that teachers need a professional knowledge base to monitor and to reason about teaching and student learning. Based on theoretical notions of teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), we investigated history teachers' professional vision by means of a video survey with integrated video clips, open-ended writing assignments and standardized item ratings. We collected data from 303 and 220 pre-service teachers at the beginning and at the end, respectively, of their subject-specific teacher training. The collected data open up the possibility of 'simultaneous triangulation' (Morse, 1991), which was used for test validation. First, we tested the reliability of the closed-ended test instrument using item response theory, in order to develop a feasible test model. Second, we investigated the validity of the test instrument by comparing test results with the findings of the open-ended writing task. In general, student teachers reached rather low-test scores. They experienced difficulties in assessing classroom events in terms of their potential to support historical competencies and to evaluate the consequences for students' learning. Findings from the open writing assignment show that student teachers commented largely on generic teaching strategies while hardly noticing student learning. In sum, the chosen methodological approaches seem to contribute to a more distinct picture of preservice teachers' abilities to reason about history teaching and learning.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Kontroverse Geschichte(n) unterrichten – Eine Auslegeordnung von Lernzielen an der Schnittstelle historischen und politischen Lernens(Waxmann, 2021) Thyroff, Julia; Kuhn, Konrad J.; Nitsche, Martin; Thyroff, Julia; Waldis Weber, Monika04A - Beitrag SammelbandPublikation ZwischenWelten.
