Unterschiedliche Wege ins Lehramt – unterschiedliche Kompetenzen?: Ein Vergleich von Quereinsteigern und traditionell ausgebildeten Lehramtsanwärtern im Vorbereitungsdienst

In the past few years, the number of alternatively certified teachers has steadily increased. For this reason, the present study aims to compare the professional competence of alternatively certified teachers and traditional certified teachers in the induction phase (Vorbereitungsdienst). The data originates from the COACTIV-R project, in which 770 traditionally certified teachers and 72 alternatively certified teachers were surveyed and tested. Multivariate covariance analyses show that alternatively certified and traditionally certified teachers demonstrate similar content and pedagogical content knowledge, but differ in their pedagogical-psychological knowledge. No differences were found in regard to motivation and beliefs. In addition, findings show significant differences in self-regulation between the two groups. The results will be discussed with regard to current findings regarding teacher training and recruitment of teachers.
