Audiovisuelle Bildungsmedienformate und ihre Lernerfolge – eine Paneldatenstudie zum Nachmachen

Visuelle Bildungsmedien erfahren wachsende Verbreitung in der universitären Lehre, und die Anzahl der verwendeten Medienformate steigt. Wir untersuchen empirisch den Lernerfolg dreier Formate - Lehrvideo plus Folien/Folien plus Audio/Audio - und stellen fest, dass der Lernerfolg die aufwändige Medienproduktion nicht in jedem Fall rechtfertigt. Das Untersuchungsdesign lädt zum Nachmachen und somit zum Ermitteln des geeignetsten Medienformats in einem spezifischen Lehrkontext ein. (DIPF/Orig.)

Scenarios of mentor education in Romania - towards improving teacher induction

The aim of this paper is to examine the induction programme for newly qualified teachers and mentor education in Estonia, providing a comparative analysis of existing Estonian and possible Romanian models of mentoring. While the Estonian induction programme has been in place for more than ten years, induction in Romania is a relatively new and has only been mandatory since 2011 (National Law of Education 1/2011). The specifics of mentor professional development within the Romanian induction framework have yet to be explicated. This paper proposes two possible scenarios suitable for the Romanian system :1) long-term regulated academic education (part of master or doctoral level studies), and 2) flexible short-term in-service education. The advantages and disadvantages of both models are examined and ways to overcome some of the disadvantages are identified. Ultimately, the paper proposes that a flexible, needsdriven system which encompasses a degree of choice will best fulfil the professional development needs of teachers who wish to become mentors.
