An oh boy, "Adam's Research Minute" is a banger. The @BenjaminArold, @Woessmann, @LarissaZierow research on how schooling affects religiosity is super important and interesting. Here's the link to the journal article: https://t.co/cJoFtS8f0U 6/n

Unser wichtigster Gradmesser der bundeslandspezifischen Entwicklung. Leider nur alle 6 Jahre. Extrem wichtige Zahlen. Sie sind ein Desaster. Die Bildungsministerkonferenz dazu: „Licht und Schatten im IQB-Bildungstrend 2024“😯🤷 3/3

Alle sozio-demographischen Gruppen betroffen. Rückgang in allen Bundesländern. (Lediglich Hamburg (in allen Fächern) nicht signifikant.) Z.B. Mathe: NRW -34⬇️ Bayern -23⬇️ 2/3

⚡9.-Klässler:innen 2024 vs. 2018: Mathe -24⬇️ Bio -24⬇️ Chemie -24⬇️ Physik -23⬇️ Die neuen Ergebnisse des IQB-Bildungstrends. Ganz grob gesprochen: 9.-Klässler:innen liegen heute etwa auf Niveau der 8.-Klässler:innen noch vor 6 Jahren. 1/3
