Two-wave panel of Hamburg primary school students in the bachelor’s phase 

The project examines the introduction of the new degree program for elementary school teachers (LAGS) and special education teachers (LAS-G) at Universität Hamburg in the winter semester 2020/21. The first two cohorts in the years 2020-2023 were surveyed. Participation in the study was voluntary.It is a longitudinal study with two measurement points, a baseline measurement at the beginning of the winter semester 2020/21 or winter semester 2021/22 and a second measurement after four semesters at the end of the summer semester 2022 or 2023. Since it is compulsory for most students in the LAGS to study the subjects German and mathematics, a measurement of characteristics with regard to these two subjects took place at both measurement points. For this purpose, separate subject-specific online surveys were conducted for German and mathematics, which recorded similar constructs using similar instruments.
The data from the baseline measurement and the measurement after four semesters were linked to form a data set using an anonymous personal code generated by the students. Variables were collected in the areas of socio-demographic characteristics, students' study potential, study success criteria and study behavior.
These are the following study success criteria, which are mentioned as examples for the subject German, but were also collected analogously for the subject mathematics: Subject knowledge of German, knowledge of German didactics, academic self-concept with regard to studying German, enthusiasm for German as a subject, self-efficacy in teaching German and satisfaction with courses in German. The intention to drop out of university was also surveyed.
