Zur Fremdeinschätzung von Schülerselbstkonzepten durch Lehrer und Mitschüler

On Students' Self-Concepts Inferred By Teachers and Classmates

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1024/1010-0652.18.34.157

Zusammenfassung: Das “Internal/External Frame of Reference Modell” (I/E-Modell) von Marsh (1986) postuliert, dass zur Ausbildung fachspezifischer Selbstkonzepte neben sozialen Vergleichen (externaler Bezugsrahmen) auch dimensionale Vergleiche (internaler Bezugsrahmen) herangezogen werden. Dimensionale Vergleiche sind Vergleiche der eigenen Leistungen in zwei Domänen. In der vorliegenden Untersuchung wurde geprüft, ob das I/E-Modell auch für fremdeingeschätzte Selbstkonzepte gilt. Dazu wurden die mathematischen und verbalen Selbstkonzepte von N = 1114 Schülerinnen und Schülern sowie die Fremdeinschätzungen der Selbstkonzepte von Seiten jeweils eines Mitschülers und ihrer N = 48 Mathematiklehrer erfasst. Für die Selbstbeschreibungen der Schüler zeigten sich erwartungsgemäß sowohl positive Effekte des externalen als auch negative Effekte des internalen Bezugsrahmens. Lehrer und Mitschüler hingegen verwendeten zur Einschätzung der Selbstkonzepte anderer hauptsächlich soziale Vergleichsinformationen und ließen dimensionale Vergleiche weitgehend unberücksichtigt.


Summary: The “Internal/External Frame of Reference (I/E) model” by Marsh (1986) assumes that the formation of the academic self-concept in a particular domain is influenced not only by social comparisons (external frame) but also by dimensional comparisons (internal frame). Dimensional comparisons are comparisons between the own achievements in two different domains. Within this study, we investigated whether the I/E model is also valid for the estimations by others. For that academic self-concepts in maths and German of N = 1114 students were assessed as well as the estimates of their N = 48 mathematics teachers and their classmates. For the self-descriptions of the students we found - as expected - positive effects of the external and negative effects of the internal frame of reference. Observers however mainly used social comparison information to estimate other people's self concepts and disregarded dimensional comparisons.
