Research tools by construct
This list of theoretical constructs was created to provide a theory driven access to our research tools, stored in the RDC education. The list is based on an educational production model including the basic structure of input-process-output. This framework provides a broad base to systematise and structure the variables of educational research tools and presents the starting point for an allocation to theoretical constructs of educational research. The model was developed on an inductive approach and includes research tools like questionnaire scales, assessment tests and rating dimensions taken from different rating manuals.
The model distinguishes background variables, process variables and variables targeting the assessment of learning outcomes. Background variables can further be differentiated according to individual and institutional background. Process variables are focussing on teaching and learning in different educational institutions. Learning outcomes are closely related to disciplinary and interdisciplinary competencies and knowledge measured by assessment tests. Furthermore, the appropriation of learning strategies can be identified as metacognitive variables. At least, attitudes and behaviour can be interpreted as non-cognitive learning outcomes, depending on the chosen assessment time.
