TL;DR: A newly developed coding frame is presented as a systematic, generic, micro-level measure of creativity that can be applied to observations of creative processes in many different contexts, and for different kinds of creative tasks.
Abstract: Creativity is a relevant yet elusive concept, and consequently there is a large range of methods to assess creativity in many different contexts. Broadly speaking, we can differentiate between creativity measures on the level of the person (such as the Torrance tests), the level of the creative product (consensual assessment), and the level of the creative process. In the recent literature on children's creativity, 80% of the studies employed measures on either the person or the product level (Kupers et al., submitted). However, for parents, teachers, and employers who wish to stimulate creativity, insight in the (often socially embedded) creative process is badly needed. This move from the inter-individual to the intra-individual level of assessment is furthermore in line with research in many other domains in psychology. Although there is some research focusing more on detailed descriptions of creative processes, the studies are usually purely qualitative and therefore highly context-specific, making generalization difficult. In this paper, we present a newly developed coding frame as a systematic, generic, micro-level measure of creativity. What is unique about this coding frame is that it can be applied to observations of creative processes in many different contexts, and for different kinds of creative tasks. The core of the instrument is that it allows us to assess the two core components of creativity - novelty and appropriateness on an ordinal 4-point scale, at each moment during the creative process. The coding frame can be applied in three steps. The first step is to determine the unit of analysis, that is, the level of detail in which the creative process is assessed. The second step and third steps are coding the units on two ordinal scales of novelty and appropriateness, respectively. In order to illustrate the versatility of our instrument, we apply it to two cases of very different creative processes: a musical composition task (open-ended) and a scientific reasoning task (closed- ended). Last, we demonstrate the possibilities for analyzing this type of dense intra-individual measurements of creativity (time series analysis and state space grids) and discuss the future research that is needed to fully validate the instrument.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on the first attempt to operationalize a theoretical competence model for music instruction and to validate it on the basis of selected tasks, and the validated competence model is described and discussed.
Abstract: Fur das Schulfach Musik gibt es bislang noch keine empirisch validierten Kompetenzmodelle. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird uber den ersten Versuch berichtet, ein theoretisches Kompetenzmodell fur das Fach Musik zu operationalisieren und mit Hilfe selektierter Aufgaben zu validieren. Aus forschungsokonomischen Grunden erfolgte eine Beschrankung auf den curricularen Bereich "Wahrnehmen und Kontextualisieren von Musik". An der Hauptstudie nahmen insgesamt 1449 Schulerinnen und Schuler der sechsten Jahrgangsstufe teil, wobei die finalen Testaufgaben in einem computerbasierten Test administriert wurden. In der Auswertung wurde die Rasch-Modellgultigkeit untersucht, die Dimensionalitat anhand von Vergleichen ein- und mehrdimensionaler Modelle uberpruft sowie Kompetenzniveaus bestimmt. Das validierte Kompetenzmodell wird abschliesend dargestellt und diskutiert. (DIPF/Orig.) So far, no empirically validated competence model has been developed for the school subject music. In their study, the authors report on the first attempt to operationalize a theoretical competence model for music instruction and to validate it on the basis of selected tasks. For the sake of research economy, the investigation was restricted to the curricular field "Perception and Contextualization of Music". In total, 1449 sixth-grade students took part in the main study; the final test tasks were administered via in a computer-based test. In the evaluation, the validity of the Rasch model was examined, dimensionality was verified on the basis of comparisons between one- and multi-dimensional models, and levels of competence were defined. Finally, the validated competence model is described and discussed. (DIPF/Orig.)

Abstract: Befindet sich die wissenschaftliche Musikpadagogik in der Krise? [...] Hat die Situation der Wissenschaft Auswirkungen auf die musikpadagogische Praxis? [...] In jedem Fall aber kann es nicht schaden, die langst (mal wieder) fallige Reflexion uber das Verhaltnis von Theorie und Praxis anzustosen - und wenn sie nur dazu fuhrt, Aufgaben, Rolle und Chancen der so genannten theoretischen Musikpadagogik noch einmal angesichts der aktuellen Rahmenbedingungen zu uberdenken. [...] Wir mochten im Folgenden einen Streifzug durch die padagogische und musikpadagogische Literatur zum Theorie-Praxis-Problem unternehmen - immer auf der Suche nach neuen Ideen zu einem alten Problem und nach verschiedenen Ansatzen zu seiner Losung. Anschliesend stellen wir zwei Konstrukte vor, die im Rahmen musikpadagogischer Forschung zum Einsatz kamen bzw. kommen und in denen die Vorstellung eines Auseinanderklaffens von Theorie und Praxis aufgehoben ist. Abschliesend formulieren wir einige Vorschlage zu einem hoffentlich sinnvollen Umgang der Musikpadagogik mit sich selbst und mit der „Praxis“, auf die sie verpflichtet sein sollte. (DIPF/Orig.)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors verdeutliche meine Besorgnis uber zahlreiche Umformungen der Grounded Theory (GT), die with deren Rezeption durch Methodologien der qualitative Datenanalyse (QDA) einhergehen, and hieraus folgende Erosionen.
Abstract: In diesem Beitrag verdeutliche ich meine Besorgnis uber zahlreiche Umformungen der Grounded Theory (GT), die mit deren Rezeption durch Methodologien der qualitative Datenanalyse (QDA) einhergehen, und hieraus folgende Erosionen. Ich skizziere zunachst einige Beispiele hierfur, um danach die essentiellen Bestandteile der klassischen GT-Methodologie zusammenzufassen. Ich hoffe, dass dieser Beitrag meine Besorgnis uber die wachsende, aber meines Erachtens missverstandene Einvernahme von GT durch QDA-Methodologien veranschaulicht und zugleich als einfuhrender Leitfaden fur Novizen und Novizinnen dient, die daran interessiert sind, die grundlegenden Prinzipien der GT nachzuvollziehen.

TL;DR: 10 proposed guidelines to provide a practical set of best practice guidelines to help future review teams and managers are explained using real‐world examples or illustrations from applications.
Abstract: screening is one important aspect of conducting a high‐quality and comprehensive systematic review and meta‐analysis. screening allows the review team to conduct the tedious but vital first step to synthesize the extant literature: winnowing down the overwhelming amalgamation of citations discovered through research databases to the citations that should be “full‐text” screened and eventually included in the review. Although it is a critical process, few guidelines have been put forth since the publications of seminal systematic review textbooks. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to provide a practical set of best practice guidelines to help future review teams and managers. Each of the 10 proposed guidelines is explained using real‐world examples or illustrations from applications. We also delineate recent experiences where a team of abstract screeners double‐screened 14 923 abstracts in 89 days.
