Hybride und virtuelle Lernszenarien
Synchron hybride Lernszenarien, bei denen ein Teil der Teilnehmenden vor Ort anwesend ist und gleichzeitig andere Teilnehmende online zugeschaltet sind, ermöglichen mehr Flexibilität und Anpassung an individuelle Lebenssituationen und können somit einen grossen Mehrwert für Lernende bieten. Dies gilt auch für virtuelle Lernräume, im Sinne kollaborativ nutzbarer 3D-Umgebungen. Damit hybride und virtuelle Lernszenarien erfolgreich sind, müssen sie jedoch methodisch-didaktisch und technisch sinnvoll geplant, vorbereitet und umgesetzt werden. Dr. Anna-Lena Roos und Loris Jeitziner geben in dieser Veranstaltung Einblicke in Ihre Erfahrungen bei der Konzeption und Umsetzung solcher Szenarien.
Antecedents and effects of test anxiety components – An intra-individual real-time approach in-cluding physiological measures
Control, anxiety and test performance: Self-reported and physiological indicators of anxiety as mediators
Background This study investigated the role of different test anxiety components (affective, cognitive, motivational and physiological) as mediators between control and performance as proposed by Pekrun's control-value theory (CVT). While all components were assessed via self-report, the physiological component was additionally assessed via electrodermal activity (EDA). Aims We examined the relative impact of the self-reported anxiety components and EDA in this mediating mechanism to identify the most relevant assessment(s) (i.e., self-reported anxiety components and/or EDA) for predicting test performance. Sample The study comprised 50 eighth graders. Methods Data were collected during a mathematics test comprising six task blocks. State self-reports of control and anxiety components along with test performance and other test emotions were collected block-wise (i.e., repeated assessments within students). EDA was continuously recorded. Results Consistent with CVT, intra-individual mediation analysis with multiple mediators revealed that higher control predicted lower anxiety (i.e., all self-reported components). Unexpectedly, higher control was associated with increased EDA. Follow-up analyses taking other test emotions into account suggested this might reflect positive activation. Correlations between EDA and control and self-reported anxiety components differed depending on which test emotion was dominant in each situation. Regarding test performance, only the cognitive component was a significant mediator and thus seems to play a pivotal role in the relationship between control and performance. Conclusions Distinguishing between anxiety components and including unbiased physiological measures improve our understanding of the mechanisms behind the relationship between test anxiety and performance. Higher physiological arousal may be a sign of anxiety but can also be a sign of positive activation. When aiming to reduce negative effects of anxiety on performance, targeting the cognitive component seems crucial. Implications of these findings for educational and psychological practice are discussed.
