  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Competence Assessment in Education

Abstract

Teaching and learning from texts with integrated pictures are challenging tasks for teachers and students. Nevertheless, this kind of material is universal in secondary school as well as in elementary school and holds huge potential for student learning, if instruction and presentation are appropriate. The project “BiTe” investigates teachers’ and students’ competencies in secondary and elementary school. This chapter focuses on components of teachers’ competence in the specific field of Picture-Text-Integration (PTI), embracing teachers’ knowledge as well as their attitudes, motivation, and self-related cognitions. Also, teachers’ judgment accuracy is investigated, as especially relevant for judging students’ competencies and the level of difficulty of teaching materials. Regarding the outcomes of teachers’ competencies, instructional quality and students’ engagement are described.
