Klassenmanagement bei angehenden Lehrkräften aufbauen

Abstract

Efficient classroom management is a necessary condition of high-quality, inclusive teaching. Thus, the development of essential competences is a desideratum in teacher education. A seminar concept based on video-assisted micro-teaching for students in their practical semester is presented and evaluated. Derived from the model of professional competence of teachers, we examine how job-related and self-efficacy beliefs regarding inclusive education can foster the development and application of classroom management strategies. Two intervention-phases with a total of 35 students in the treatment and 34 students in the control group were carried out. Obtained data point in the expected direction but only show medium effects for performance in behavior management. Beliefs concerning inclusive education remained relatively stable among all students. Moreover, self-efficacy for inclusive teaching practices increased at the end of the practical semester. The influence on intervention effects does not seem clear.
