We are very happy to host this new edition of an EAPA conference, which is organized along with the Department of Personality, Assessment and Psychological Treatments of the University of the Basque Country. We are pleased that in this conference we will have many presentations from colleagues from many countries. Specifically, presenters come from 45 countries from the five continents. This is indeed proof of how the advancement of psychological assessment takes place in close collaboration between colleagues from all over the world. Only in such a context, we may witness steps forward in the field where we can distinguish between globally valid insights and findings, on the one hand, and specific indigenous outcomes, on the other hand. The presentations and discussions during the conference will facilitate the integration in the corpus of psychological assessment. The ECPA12 celebrates its 12th conference just shortly after the DSM-5, the most widely used classification of mental disorders, has been released. The controversy generated around it is a good starting point for conference delegates working in the clinical field, as they may engage in lively debates around the changes. The various locations of the participants, as well as their formation/orientation will facilitate a fruitful discussion. But apart from the clinical arena, the challenges and new discoveries happen in each and every area of psychological assessment: educational psychology, industrial and organizational psychology, neuropsychology, psychology of personality, etc. We hope that the presentations, as well as subsequent debates and discussions, provide the conference delegates with new opportunities for enrichment. Indeed, we consider ourselves privileged to host this experience of professional exchange.

Conveniently located close to main hotels and one of the beaches of the city, it can be also reached from the city centre by local bus. Address: Avenida de Tolosa 70, E-20018 Donostia-San Sebastián. The secretariat of the ECPA12 will be located on the 0.7 Room during the conference. E-mail: [email protected] OFFICIAL LANGUAGE The official language of the ECPA12 is English. Furthermore, two pre- conference workshops and the round-table of the conference will be also translated into Spanish for local professionals attending these sessions. The translation will be made possible thanks to Vasco-Navarra Society of Neuropsychology (workshops) and to Vasco-Navarra Society of Psychiatry (round-table). 5 CURRENCY AND WEATHER The local currency is Euro. Most restaurants and shops will accept credit cards. Other payment types (traveler checks) may be possible. The weather in the winter of 2013 has been unusually cold and rainy. However, warmer temperatures are expected for the summer. The forecast for the conference days (two weeks ahead) anticipates minimum temperatures of 14-16ºC and maximum temperatures of 26-28ºC, and low chances of rain. Nevertheless, it is always wise to have a light jacket and umbrella handy. INTERNET AND PRINTING FACILITIES Internet wifi connection is available for conference delegates in the whole building. In order to get wireless connection with your laptop/tablet, look for the “wguest” wifi signal, and enter the following information (capital-sensitive letters): Login: ECPA12 Password: irutxulo2013 For those participants without personal computers/tablets, we have a room equipped with PCs that may be used for Internet purposes. However, these computers have not printing facilities. For printing/photocopying purposes, there is a shop inside the building (opening hours: 9:00–14:00 and 16:00–19:00). Notice that the last day of the conference (July 20), this shop is closed. In the morning of July 20, nearby shops are open for last minute printing services. LUNCHES / COFFEE-BREAKS All coffee-breaks and lunches of July 18, 19, and 20 are included in the conference fee. They will be served on the outside area of the building (ground floor). Those with special diet needs should check with the organization for the meals prepared/designed for them. 6 CONFERENCE AWARDS There will be three conference awards: two “best young scholar paper” (oral and poster) awards, and a “best poster award”. While the first two are judged by the scientific committee and recipients are young scholars, the third award is open to any scholar presenting a poster during the conference, regardless of his/her seniority status, and will be decided by all conference participants. Please, take some moments to decide your vote and put the ballot (included in the material bag) in the box you will find for that purpose in the poster hall. Gold sponsors (Pearson, Hogrefe, and TEA ediciones) have contributed to the young scholar awards. 7 SOCIAL PROGRAM CONFERENCE RECEPTION Following the opening ceremony, a reception will take place in the Miramar Palace. Drinks and light snacks will be served after an exhibition of local dances. A nice view of the bay may be seen from this location. Address: Palace Miramar, Paseo de Miraconcha 47, E-20007 Donostia-San Sebastián. FREE AFTERNOON/EVENING AND CONFERENCE TRIP On Friday, July 19, the afternoon/evening has been left without scientific program to allow conference participants full enjoyment of the city and surroundings. The conference trip will be a walking tour around the city with professional guides. Those who have booked this online will find a coupon with the indication of the group number, and time and location for the gathering. Those who have not booked the trip in advance but still interested may ask at the secretariat office for possible remaining space. DISCOUNTS Participants of the ECPA12 will be able to benefit from discount in some local leisure activities of San Sebastian. Specific information and/or coupons are included in the material bags. 9 GALA DINNER The conference dinner will take place on July 20, Saturday, allowing a closure of the event in a relaxed manner. Local food will be served at usual local time (20:30 PM), at the Royal Club of Tennis Ondarreta

  • Investigating Student Interest in the Context of Problem-Based Learning a Design-Based Research Study
    Technische Universität München TUM School of Education Fachgebiet für Gymnasialpädagogik Investigating Student Interest in the Context of Problem-based Learning A Design-based Research Study Maximilian Knogler Vollständiger Abdruck der von der Fakultät TUM School of Education der Technischen Universität München zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Philosophie (Dr. phil.) genehmigten Dissertation. Vorsitzende: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Christina Seidel Prüferinnen der Dissertation: 1. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Doris Lewalter 2. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Cornelia Gräsel Bergische Universität Wuppertal Die Dissertation wurde am 06.10. 2014 bei der Technischen Universität München eingereicht und durch die Fakultät TUM School of Education am 27.11. 2014 angenommen. 1 Abstract This dissertation investigates motivation in the context of problem-based learning. It seeks to align the agenda of advancing motivational theories with using research to make a difference in classrooms. Specifically, its two major aims are (1) to investigate and improve the motivating potential of problem-based learning (PBL) environments in K-12 settings and (2) to empirically advance interest theory in the context of PBL. The dissertation includes five empirical studies which are guided by a design-based research approach. The approach blends a theory-driven design process of a particular intervention with empirical educational research. For this research, teachers and researchers cooperated in the iterative development of a PBL intervention around the topic of energy supply. Together the studies of the dissertation provide an in-depth analysis of how students’ interest and their perception of value emerge and change in relation to the PBL intervention. Data are derived from student self-reports during three implementations of different version of the intervention in K-12 classrooms.
