This chapter is a personal narrative of the author’s career path from secondary school via teacher’s education and master level in pedagogics to docent (professor) in university didactics. This career was unplanned. It occurred more incidentally over time. Much of the narrative recounts how educational reforms pushed the author to expand his attention from routine lecture work to practically implementing problem-based teaching methods that subsequently led to publishing textbooks with relevance for the didactics of higher education. This progression also marked a starting point for his career as a didactical researcher. All in all, this achievement made it possible for the author to apply for promotion to professor/docent. The assessment committee confirmed that he was well qualified. Some of the committee’s arguments are also discussed in the article.

Despite the changes proposed by different educational reforms that have taken place in the Spanish context during the last 40 years, it is worth asking to what extent the secondary education stage still has more relation with its origins –Plan Pidal, 1857– than with the derivatives of the successive reforms. We made a historical journey through organic laws of education in the Spanish area, focusing our attention on the stage of compulsory secondary education and focusing our reflection on aspects as important as the weight of the teaching tradition. Some principles of educational reforms that have taken place in our country were inspired by a more pedagogic teaching model and not so academic model. It was intended that this educational stage, which is currently mandatory catarter, was a stage to which all the population could access but also could also overcome successfully. However, this model of comprehensive education promulgated by the reforms, is an educational model that has not yet penetrated, with sufficient depth, into the culture of a secondary school teacher who has been trained in a very different teaching tradition and in which today we can see the weight of tradition.

Summary The German Pupils Academy (Deutsche Schüler-Akademie) is a summer-school program for highly gifted secondary-school students. Three types of program evaluation were conducted. Input evaluation confirmed the participants as intellectually highly gifted students who are intrinsically motivated and interested to attend the courses offered at the summer school. Process evaluation focused on the courses attended by the participants as the most important component of the program. Accordingly, the instructional approaches meet the needs of highly gifted students for self-regulated and discovery oriented learning. The product or impact evaluation was based on a multivariate social-cognitive framework. The findings indicate that the program contributes to promoting motivational and cognitive prerequisites for transforming giftedness into excellent performances. To some extent, the positive effects on students' self-efficacy and self-regulatory strategies are due to qualities of the learning environments established by the courses.

This study introduces the Schoolwork Engagement Inventory (EDA), which measures energy, dedication, and absorption with respect to schoolwork. Structural equation modeling was used to assess the validity and reliability of the inventory among students attending postcomprehensive schools. A total of 1,530 (769 girls, 761 boys) students from 13 institutions (six upper-secondary and seven vocational schools) completed the EDA 1 year apart. The results showed that a one-factor solution had the most reliability and fitted best among the younger students, whereas a three-factor solution was most reliable and fit best among the older students. In terms of concurrent validity, depressive symptoms and school burnout were inversely related, and self-esteem and academic achievement were positively associated with EDA. Boys and upper-secondary-school students experienced lower levels of schoolwork engagement than girls and vocational-school students.

Based on the model of Reid, Giles and Abrams (2004 , Zeitschrift für Medienpsychologie, 16, 17–25), this paper describes and analyzes the relation between television use and ethnolinguistic-coping strategies among German speakers in South Tyrol, Italy. The data were collected among secondary school students (N = 415) in 2011. The results indicated that the television use of the students was dominated by the German language. A mediation analysis revealed that TV viewing contributed to the perception of ethnolinguistic vitality, the permeability of intergroup boundaries, and status stability, which in turn affected ethnolinguistic-coping strategies of mobility (moving toward the outgroup), creativity (maintaining identity without confrontation), and competition (fighting for ingroup rights and respect). Findings and theoretical implications are discussed.

We investigated effects of the media’s portrayal of boys as “scholastic failures” on secondary school students. The negative portrayal induced stereotype threat (boys underperformed in reading), stereotype reactance (boys displayed stronger learning goals towards mathematics but not reading), and stereotype lift (girls performed better in reading but not in mathematics). Apparently, boys were motivated to disconfirm their group’s negative depiction, however, while they could successfully apply compensatory strategies when describing their learning goals, this motivation did not enable them to perform better. Overall the media portrayal thus contributes to the maintenance of gender stereotypes, by impairing boys’ and strengthening girls’ performance in female connoted domains and by prompting boys to align their learning goals to the gender connotation of the domain.
