Abstract

Adaptive teaching has long been considered as one of the most effective ways to support individual learning. A prerequisite for successful adaptive teaching is pedagogical diagnosis, which is often operationalized in terms of judgment accuracy with regard to both the mean level of the group performance (level component) and the extent of individual differences within the group (differentiation component). In this study, we use the example of class singing in music lessons to investigate whether music teachers can extract enough information for pedagogical diagnostics even in unstandardized group performance situations and whether these judgments influence their lesson planning in terms of adaptive teaching. Using data from an online experiment with n = 460 music teachers, we show that music teachers are able to assess the level component of a class music performance, but are unable to assess the differentiation component. Accordingly, the influence of students’ performance heterogeneity within a class turns out to be rather low on teachers’ lesson planning in terms of adaptivity.
