The effect of professional teacher knowledge on teaching behavior as well as on the development of students has increasingly been investigated over the last years. Most of these studies used paper-pencil-tests to measure professional knowledge. Those tests are supposed to assess rather declarative knowledge, that is not able to explain observable teaching behavior sufficiently. For this reason, indicators of situated knowledge, such as abilities to perceive and analyze teaching in a professional way, are more and more focused in the last years. Those skills are conceptually based on professional vision (Sherin, 2007; Seidel & Stürmer, 2014) or research on teaching expertise (Blömeke, Busse, Kaiser, König & Suhl, 2016). Those situation-specific abilities are supposed to have a mediation function between knowledge (as disposition for successful behavior) and teaching behavior (Blömeke, Gustafsson & Shavelson, 2015). Currently, there are only few studies, mostly from the mathematical domain, that indicate correlations between professional vision and teaching performance or student learning (Kersting, Givvin, Thompson, Santagata & Stigler, 2012; König & Kramer, 2016; Roth, Garnier, Chen, Lemmens, Schwille & Wickler, 2011; Sherin & van Es, 2009). Studies investigating this relationship with respect to other domains and additional dimensions of instructional quality are needed to allow reliable and generalizable inferences. In addition, the hypothesis of a stronger correlation of teaching behavior with professional vision than with knowledge (assessed with a paper-pencil-test), as well as the hypothesis of professional vision mediating knowledge and teaching behavior, are presently not satisfactorily answered. The proposed study will address these research desiderata with respect to two relevant teaching dimensions, classroom management and learning support. A cross-sectional study with 60 primary teachers and their respective classes will investigate the relationships between professional knowledge and professional vision of classroom management and learning support (IV teacher) on the one hand, and the quality of classroom management and learning support (DV/IV teacher behavior), the students learning progress (DV students) and student ratings of classroom management or learning support (DV students) on the other hand. Furthermore, correlations between subject-specific constructs regarding learning support and generic constructs regarding classroom management will be explored. Beyond the theoretical insights into fundamental relationships between important aspects of professional teacher competences, the study will provide findings about the predictive validity of the used tests.

近年来，教师专业知识对教学行为和学生发展的影响越来越受到关注。这些研究大多采用纸笔测验来测量专业知识。这些测试被认为是评估陈述性知识，而不是能够充分解释可观察到的教学行为。因此，情境知识的指标，如以专业方式感知和分析教学的能力，在过去几年中越来越受到关注。这些技能在概念上基于专业愿景（Sherin，2007; Seidel & Stürmer，2014）或对教学专业知识的研究（Blömeke，Busse，Kaiser，König &苏尔，2016）。这些特定于情境的能力应该在知识（作为成功行为的倾向）和教学行为之间发挥中介作用（Blömeke，Gustafsson & Shavelson，2015）。目前，只有很少的研究，主要来自数学领域，表明专业愿景与教学绩效或学生学习之间的相关性（Kersting，Givvin，Thompson，Szerata & Stigler，2012; König &克雷默，2016; Roth，Garnier，Chen，Lemmens，Schwille & Wickler，2011; Sherin &货车Es，2009）。研究调查这种关系与其他领域和其他方面的教学质量，需要允许可靠的和可推广的推论。此外，教学行为与专业愿景的相关性比与知识的相关性更强的假设（用纸笔测试评估），以及专业愿景中介知识和教学行为的假设，目前没有得到满意的回答。拟议的研究将解决这些研究的迫切需要方面的两个相关的教学层面，课堂管理和学习支持。本研究以60位国小教师为研究对象，探讨国小教师专业知识与专业愿景对国小教师课堂管理与学习支持的影响（四）教师方面，课堂管理和学习支持的质量（DV/IV教师行为），另一方面是学生的学习进度（DV学生）和学生对课堂管理或学习支持的评价（DV学生）。此外，有关学习支持和课堂管理的通用结构之间的相关性进行了探讨。除了专业教师能力的重要方面之间的基本关系的理论见解，本研究将提供有关所使用的测试的预测效度的发现。
