Selbstwirksamkeitserwartungen zur methodischen Gestaltung eines gemeinschaftsorientierten und partizipativ-verfahrensorientierten Unterrichts: Entwicklung von Kurzskalen zur schulischen Demokratiebildung
摘要
This article describes the development and pilot validation of two interdisciplinary short scales on teacher students’ self-efficacy beliefs for the methodological design of community-oriented and participatory-process-oriented teaching based on a theoretical derivation of democratic education in schools, cognitive interviews, and a sample of N = 896 teacher students in North Rhine-Westphalia. Confirmatory factor analyses support a two-factor measurement model with correlated factors and scalar measurement invariance across groupings by stage of study, type of school, and study of a social sciences subject. Explored correlations with self-assessed knowledge of democracy, political self-efficacy, and self-efficacy beliefs for inclusive teaching illustrate the valid interpretability of the scales. The short scale for participatory-process-oriented teaching measures self-efficacy beliefs for the integration and reflection of democratic and participatory procedures. The short scale for community-oriented teaching, on the other hand, measures self-efficacy beliefs for the integration of socially collaborative methods. The short scales can be used to measure the self-efficacy beliefs of prospective teachers as part of their professional competence in methodically enabling democracy education in the classroom.
