Um an die Pädagogische Hochschule Zürich aufgenommen zu werden, absolvieren Studierende ohne Maturitätsabschluss neben fachlichen Prüfungen ein Assessment Centre zur Überprüfung ihrer überfachlichen Kompetenzen. Der vorliegende Beitrag befasst sich mit der Evaluation der prognostischen Validität des Assessment Centres. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Studierenden mit einer hohen Leistung im Assessment Centre in der Zwischenprüfung deutlich besser abschneiden und von ihren Mentoren als geeigneter für den Lehrberuf beurteilt werden als Studierende mit geringeren Leistungen. Insgesamt verweisen die Ergebnisse der Studie darauf, dass das Assessment Centre ein prognostisch valides Instrument darstellt, um den frühen Studienerfolg der Studierenden vorherzusagen. (DIPF/Orig.) ; At the Zurich University of Teacher Education, future students who do not have the formal qualifications are required to pass several examinations and a test, which is known as an 'assessment centre'. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the predictive validity of this assessment centre. Major findings indicate that student teachers with high assessment centre ratings are not only more likely to be successful in their teaching profession but are also more likely to be seen as suitable teachers by their mentors after their first year of teaching activity. This study shows that the assessment centre is a valid instrument of competency assessment in the case of beginning student teachers. (DIPF/Orig.) ; In order to be admitted to the Zürich Pedagogical University, non-maturity students undergo, in addition to technical examinations, an assessment centre to verify their competences. This contribution deals with the evaluation of the forecast validity of the Assessment Centre. The results show that high-achieving students at the Assessment Centre perform significantly better in the interim examination and are judged by their mentors to be more suitable for the teaching profession than lower performers. Overall, the results of the study indicate ...
