Project Description

This longitudinal study examines the transition from primary school to secondary school. While the working group of the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and the University of Potsdam focus on educational aspirations and choices the main focus of our group is on the motivational coping of transition. The longitudinal study is based on the TIMSS-2007-sample including 5,000 4th graders. The cross-sectional design of TIMSS was enlarged by two waves of data collection before (parents and teachers) and three waves of data collection after the transition. Two goals are prominent in this longitudinal study:

  • Investigation of the effects of transition from primary to secondary school on motivation and learning
  • Investigation of the effects of social background and school-related parental support on coping with the transition from primary to secondary school
