Während das professionelle Wissen von Referendar/-innen bereits in verschiedenen Domänen systematisch erforscht wird, fehlen solche Untersuchungen in der Politikdidaktik bislang. Die vorliegende Teilstudie hat zum Ziel, das politikwissenschaftliche und politikdidaktische Wissen von Referendar/-innen und die eigene Einschätzung hinsichtlich des Abschneidens in den Wissenstests am Ende ihrer Ausbildungszeit zu untersuchen. Es wurden 266 Referendar/-innen aus 22 Lehrerseminaren befragt. Die Items des fachwissenschaftlichen Tests (FW) beziehen sich auf die Bereiche, die für ein politikwissenschaftliches Studium empfohlen werden. Bei der fachdidaktischen Wissensdimension (FD) handelt es sich primär um Wissen über politikdidaktische Konzeptionen und Methoden. Die Dimension unterrichtsbezogenes fachdidaktisches Wissen (FDU) beinhaltet überwiegend Items zur Identifikation typischer Fehlkonzepte und zum Konzeptaufbau bei Schülerinnen und Schülern.
Referendarinnen an Gymnasien schneiden hinsichtlich des erhobenen politikwissenschaftlichen Wissens tendenziell besser ab als diejenigen an Realschulen. Dies gilt auch für die fachdidaktischen Teile. Wie erwartet beeinflusst das Fachinteresse das fachwissenschaftliche Wissensniveau, aber auch das fachdidaktische. Die Ergebnisse zur Selbsteinschätzung können ein Hinweis darauf sein, dass es Referendar/-innen nicht leicht fällt, ihren tatsächlichen Wissensstand einzuschätzen.

"This chapter discusses research on different kinds of media frames in political coverage which have been shown to significantly affect how politics is perceived and understood by citizens. After defining issue/ policy substance, strategic game, thematic, and episodic framing as key features of the portrayal of politics in today's media coverage, the chapter discusses various reasons why these frames are so commonly used in journalism, After that, the chapter reviews empirical research on the development of the presence of the different frames across time. Furthermore, differences between countries and news organizations are discussed. The author argues that although research shows that the various frames are indeed an important ingredient of political coverage, general conclusions are hampered by differences in operationalizations and the lack of comparative research efforts. The author therefore calls for more standardized investigations and truly comparative studies on this important topic." (publisher's description)

"This chapter examines literature on the factors which explain the different levels of attention lavished on political events by the news media. The chapter first identifies several typologies and conceptualizations of events. The author argues that the amount of media attention is not determined by the significance of an event alone but rather by an interplay of criteria both internal and external to the news media (e.g., journalistic co-orientation). Furthermore, the chapter reflects upon how the news media sometimes link similar but unrelated events creating a media-hype or news wave that sometimes has important political consequences. This amplification of coverage happens in a series of stages that are discussed in detail in the remaining part of the chapter." (publisher's description)
