Krämer, Sonja; Zimmermann, Friederike – Journal of Experimental Education, 2023
Teacher judgments about student achievement may be biased by factors that go beyond students' actual achievement. Emotional and behavioral disorder (EBD), which is characterized by behavioral problems yet unimpaired general cognitive abilities, may be one such biasing characteristic on student level. Moreover, bias may depend on characteristics at…

Dort, Martina; Strelow, Anna; Schwinger, Malte; Christiansen, Hanna – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2022
Although an average of one to two children per classroom suffer from ADHD, empirically supported classroom interventions are not yet implemented possibly because of teachers' lack of knowledge or negative attitude towards them. To investigate this science-practitioner gap, we need an instrument assessing knowledge, attitude and the use of…

This has led to an increased number of the disabled with…

The inclusion of pupils with special educational needs (SEN) in schools is an ongoing challenge -- it demands the development of an adapted teaching and learning environment, which, in turn, requires a corresponding teacher education programme. Studies indicate that personal characteristics of the respective teachers are one of the main…

Sagner-Tapia, Johanna – International Journal of Inclusive Education, 2018
