Academic Career and Family. Qualitative Inquiry of the DZHW Study WiNbus

Survey Period: Jul 1, 2015 - Sep 1, 2015 Survey Data Type: Qualitative Data

The present study has been conducted as a sub-study of the WiNbus study “Academic Career and Family” within the scope of the project “WiNbus – An Online Panel among Young Academics in Germany” funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)... more. The partial study investigated the compatibility of professional career and family life of young academics. The study focused on how conflicts of objectives between professional and private commitment can be managed as well as on the influence of the structures of the academic system on the careers of researchers. This dual perspective on structural and actor-specific characteristics made it possible to obtain information on success or failure to integrate both aspects of life, and to identify the relevant support opportunities. less

Performance Evaluation in Appointment Procedures – The Changing Tradition of Hiring Professors in Academia. Qualitative Inquiry of the DZHW Study LiBerTas

Survey Period: Apr 30, 2015 - May 30, 2016 Survey Data Type: Qualitative Data

Based on an analysis of maximally contrasting cases (institutions of higher education, subjects) it was examined how the change in appointment procedures affects the relation of the participating actors and their enactment of institutional logics. For this... more purpose, eight universities and four Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) with different profiles were selected originally. The analysis is concentrated on the subjects sociology/social sciences (university + UAS), engineering (university + UAS), physics (university) and medicine (university) in order to cover subject-specific differences (concerning tasks, work processes, endowment of the professorship, disciplinary performance standards, etc.). A total of 76 guideline-based expert interviews were conducted with university heads, deans, chairpersons of appointments committees, equal opportunities commissioners of selected institutions of higher education. The respective requirements, experiences with and assessment of appointment procedures were in the focus. This sample was reduced to the status group of chairpersons of appointments committees.

Digital Educational Practices of Students

Survey Period: Feb 1, 2018 - Jun 30, 2018 Survey Data Type: Qualitative Data

The research project reconstructs students' practices in dealing with digital technologies and asks which digital practices exist for their studies. Digital practices are understood to be those in which the use of digital technologies is incorporated. This... more research focus is important because digital technologies have become part of students' everyday life. However, little is known about how digital technologies are actually used for studying - if they are used for studying at all - and whether digital practices have developed in the course of study. Although there are various studies on the ownership and use of digital media (Steffens, Schmitt & Aßmann 2018), they do not focus on actual digital practices. In Bourdieu's sense, digital practices are an expression of habitus, which is why it can be assumed that the appropriation of digital practices is linked to the capital and milieu of students. In this respect, the study examines the extent to which digital technologies could contribute to (new) social inequalities in the educational system. less

Eurostudent VII

Survey Period: Feb 1, 2019 - Jul 31, 2021 Survey Data Type: Quantitative Data

The EUROSTUDENT project collects and analyses comparable data on the social dimension of European higher education. A wide range of topics related to students’ social and economic conditions are covered. The project strives to provide reliable and insightf... moreul cross-country comparisons. It does this through coupling a central coordination approach with a strong network of national partners in each participating country. In this way, an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the respective national frameworks in international comparison can be made. The main users of our findings are higher education policy-makers at national and European level, researchers in this field, managers of higher education institutions and - of course - students all over Europe. less

Studying in Corona Times

Survey Period: Jun 15, 2020 - Aug 10, 2020 Survey Data Type: Quantitative Data

The survey "Studying in Corona Times" examines the various effects of the corona pandemic on students at German universities and takes a close look at the special features, challenges and opportunities of the largely digital summer semester 2020. The aim o... moref the study is to gain a comprehensive impression of the situation of students in Germany during this unusual semester. What challenges are the students facing? What is their employment and financial situation like? And to what extent is it possible to study successfully under the given circumstances? These and many other questions are the guiding principles of this study. In order to gain a realistic picture of the situation of students in Germany, around 28,600 students from 23 nationally selected state universities of different sizes, subject structures and regional locations are surveyed. The results of the survey are relevant to numerous measures in the fields of higher education, education and social policy and should enable research to examine various issues arising in the course of the corona pandemic. The study "Studying in Corona Times" is being carried out jointly with the University of Konstanz's Higher Education Research Working Group and the German National Association for Student Affairs. It is part of the research project “die Studierendenbefragung in Deutschland“. less

Professionalization in theological conversations – a qualitative sub-study of the projects PRONET & PRONET²

Survey Period: Apr 11, 2016 - Jul 21, 2017 Survey Data Type: Qualitative Data

Within the two large-scale projects, the research data presented was collected more concrete within the framework of the sub-project “Professionalization in Theological Conversations as the Basis for Cross-Phase Networking in Teacher Education” - the title of the first project within the PRONET framework - and “Networking of subject-specific science and subject-specific didactics in the Professionalization in Theological Discussions “- the title in the second project phase of PRONET. In Theological Conversations, the pupils and the teacher get into conversation about large and often existentially significant theological questions (Freudenberger-Lötz, 2007). The presented research data was qualitatively-empirically collected and consists of transcripts of Theological Conversations, which were led by students: integrated into two Kassel research workshops (Freudenberger-Lötz, 2013) and a research seminar, students led Theological Conversations about different theological content with pupils in different grades. less

DZHW Scientists Survey 2019

Survey Period: Nov 26, 2019 - Feb 24, 2020 Survey Data Type: Quantitative Data

The DZHW Scientists Survey 2019 is an online survey of full-time academic and artistic staff at German universities, colleges of education, theology, art and music, and medical schools. It is repeated at regular intervals as a trend study to explore the wo... morerking and research conditions at German universities and equivalent institutions of higher education. The first two surveys took place in 2010 and 2016. The 2019 Scientists Survey was conducted from November 2019 to February 2020. Accordingly, the COVID19 pandemic from March 2020 onwards did not yet have impact on the survey of scientists, who were consequently able to refer to their regular daily research routine. The DZHW science survey is designed as a multi-topic survey. Each survey contains a core instrument (a constant survey programme over several waves) with central questions on working and research conditions as well as modules with more in-depth questions on current research policy topics and research priorities. The core instrument is completed by priority topics for which the instruments are developed in cooperation with research groups within and outside the DZHW. The focus topics of the 2019 science survey were: open data, research information, authorship, knowledge transfer and subject cultures. less
