DiWi
Test zum Wissen über verschiedene Diversitätsbereiche von (angehenden) Lehrkräften
Short abstract
The test (DiWi) measures the declarative factual knowledge of (prospective) teachers about different areas of diversity. It is available in a long form (DiWi: 142 items) and a short form (DiWi-K: 36 items) with the five subscales Emotional and Social Development (ESE), Learning (LE), Partial Learning Disorders (TLS), Gender (GES), and Cognitive Giftedness (HB). Conceptually, diversity knowledge can be located in pedagogical-psychological knowledge and thus also in the professional competence of teachers (Baumert & Kunter, 2011; Voss et al., 2015). Reliability: The internal consistency according to Cronbach was calculated separately for total test (α ≥ .81) and subscale (DiWi: α ≥ .84, DiWi-K: α ≥ .38) and according to McDonalds Omega (DiWi: ω ≥ .92, DiWi-K: ω ≥ .80). Split-half reliability was rtt = .93 and higher for both versions. Retest reliability of the short version over a three-month period was rtt = .55. Validity: Factor analysis yielded a 5-factor model with the general factor ""diversity knowledge."" An initial nomological network of convergent constructs around objectively measured diversity knowledge could be drawn. Furthermore, students of special education teaching had higher knowledge than students of other subjects and master students knew more than bachelor students.
