Wer kommt weiter? Vorhersage der Qualifikation zur Internationalen Biologie- und Chemie-Olympiade auf Grundlage des Leistungsmotivations-Modells von Eccles

Abstract

Das Erwartungs-Wert-Modell der Leistungsmotivation von Eccles et al. (1983) wurde eingesetzt, um die Qualifikation von deutschen Teilnehmenden zur 4. Auswahlrunde der Internationalen Biologie- und Chemie-Olympiade (IBO/IChO) vorherzusagen. Konkret sollten die prädiktive Stärke des Eccles-Modells getestet und qualifikationsförderliche Faktoren gefunden werden. Die Teilnehmenden (nIBO = 43, 20 weiblich; nIChO = 44, 11 weiblich) füllten einen Fragebogen zur Messung der Modellvariablen aus und nahmen an einer Intelligenztestung teil. Zur Qualifikation für die vierte Runde absolvierten sie verschiedene fachspezifische Prüfungen. Insgesamt eignete sich das Eccles-Modell gut zur Qualifikationsvorhersage. IChO-Teilnehmende mit einer höheren Erfolgserwartung und IBO-Teilnehmende mit mehr erlebter Langeweile im Schulunterricht qualifizierten sich eher für die vierte Runde. Proximale Modellvariablen erwiesen sich als bessere Prädiktoren als distale Variablen. Die Implikationen der Forschungsergebnisse werden diskutiert.


Who gets further? Prediction of the Qualification for the International Biology and Chemistry Olympiad on the Basis of the Achievement Motivation Model of Eccles

The expectancy-value model of achievement motivation by Eccles et al. (1983) was used to predict the qualification of German participants for the fourth selection round of the International Biology and Chemistry Olympiad (IBO/IChO). The main focus lies on the predictive strength of the model which should be tested and factors easing qualification should be proved. The participants (nIBO = 43, 20 female; nIChO = 44, 11 female) completed a questionnaire and participated in an intelligence test to measure the model variables. To qualify for the fourth round they had to pass several subject-specific exams. Overall, the model was well suited to predict qualification. IChO-participants with a higher expectancy of success and IBO-participants with more boredom in school were more likely to qualify for the fourth round. Proximal model variables were better predictors of qualification than distal variables. The implications of the research findings are discussed.
