In the present secondary analysis the results of studies by Simons et al. (1975) and Schwarzer (1979) were critically reanalyzed. The central point of the reanalysis concerned the test of the causal models used, especially the question, if the technique of path analysis was correctly applied. Whereas some modifications seemed necessary in both srudies, there was no reason to question their main results.

Es wurde die Frage überprüft, ob für schwache Rechtschreiber und rechtschreibunauffällige Schüler ähnliche Determinanten der Rechtschreibleistung angenommen werden können. Theoretisch plausible Kausalmodelle zur Beschreibung und Erklärung von Rechtschreibleistungen rechtschreibschwacher und rechtschreibunauffälliger Viertkläßler wurden im Hinblick auf ihre Übereinstimmung und Datenkompabilität anhand des Computerprogramms LISREL IV analysiert. Für beide Gruppen ergaben sich unterschiedlich strukturierte Lösungen, von denen lediglich die für die normalen Rechtschreiber hinsichtlich der Datenanpassung und des Prozentsatzes aufgeklärter Kriteriumsvarianz einigermaßen befriedigen konnte.
This study addresses three themes that recur in the research on student achievement: (a) developmental modeling ofintraindividual changes in achievement over time; (b) examination of the differences among subgroups within a classroom in the determinants of achievement; (c) description of the interactions among instructional variables in determining achievement differences. Eight classrooms were preselected on the basis of their widely differing slopes obtained in a regression analysis of pre- and posttest achievement scores. Mathematics achievement differences among sixth graders were analyzed in a four-wave design and explained by aptitude and instructional variables in a structural equation framework provided by LISREL. The results demonstrate the local nature of achievement models in that neither their measurement nor structural components proved generalizable across both groups of classrooms. Mention is also made, however, of technical problems and analytical ambiguities in the interpretation of these results.
Nine hierarchical and four nonhierarchical clustering algorithms were compared on their ability to resolve 200 multivariate normal mixtures. The effects of coverage, similarity measures, and cluster overlap were studied by including different levels of coverage for the hierarchical algorithms, Euclidean distances and Pearson correlation coefficients, and truncated multivariate normal mixtures in the analysis. The results confirmed the findings of previous Monte Carlo studies on clustering procedures in that accuracy was inversely related to coverage, and that algorithms using correlation as the similarity measure were significantly more accurate than those using Euclidean distances. No evidence was found for the assumption that the positive effects of the use of correlation coefficients are confined to unconstrained mixture models.
Aus der Durchsicht neuerer Forschungsliteratur zum Thema Schulprognose läßt sich ableiten, daß im Gegensatz zur unbestrittenen Bedeutung von kognitiven Tätigkeitsmerkmalen die Relevanz von nicht-kognitiven (z. B. Angst- und Leistungs-)Merkmalen für die Schulleistung nicht klar abzuschätzen ist. In der vorliegenden Untersuchung wurde nun der Vetsuch unternommen, anhand von explorativen Kausalmodellen mit latenten Variablen (LVPLS) die relative Bedeutsarnkeit nichtkognitiver Variablen für den Schulerfolg zu bestimmen. Die anhand einer Stichprobe von 87 Viertkläßlern gewonnenen Befunde unterstreichen die herausragende Relevanz kognitiver Merkmale, deuten jedoch auch darauf hin, daß die Rolle von Angsrkomponenten und Leistungsmotivkennwetten aufgrund ihrer vorwiegend indirekten Einflußnahme nicht unterschätzt werden darf. Angesichts der immer noch defizitären Theorieentwicklung im Bereich der Schulerfolgsprognose wird dafür plädiert, hier weiterhin gezielt mit explorativen Modellen zu arbeiten.
Thirty-two 4-year-olds and thirty-two 6-year-olds were tested for free and cued recall following either play-and-remember or sort-and-remember instructions and assessed for their metamemory of the efficacy of conceptual and perceptual sorting strategies. The younger children recalled significantly more items under sort-and-remember than under play-and-remember instructions, whereas no significant recall differences between instructional conditions were found for the older children. However, 6-year-olds showed higher levels of recall than 4-year-olds in both instructional conditions. Category cues were much more effective than color cues, regardless of age. In addition, clustering scores indicated that conceptual organization at both encoding and retrieval increased with age and with instruction. These results show that from 4 to 6 years of age children are learning to spontaneously employ memory strategies. In addition, they highlight the increasing importance of conceptual organization to retention of young children. Finally, the metamemory data suggest that there may be a lag between children’s articulated declarative knowledge about the usefulness of conceptual organization and their procedural use of it.
The present study investigated the relationshtp between developmental shifts in the organization of materials and developmental changes in deliberate strategy use. Second and fourth grade children were presented with clusterable sort/recall lists representing the factorial combinations of high and low interitem association, and high and low category relatedness. Strategy use in the task was rated by the experimenter and also assessed via self reports. General and task-related strategy knowledge tmetamemoryt was also examined. Second graders displayed more category clustering during recall for highly associated items than for weakly associated items. whereas older children’s recall organization (but not recall) was unaffected by this organizational dimension. Correlations among measures of metamemory and organizational behavior indicated that second graders in general were unaware of the importance of categorization strategies for facilitation of recall. On the other hand. sorting during study and task-related metamemory were the most important predictors of fourth graders’ recall performance, thus indicating that most fourth graders used categorization strategies deliberately.
