10th Social Survey 

Survey Period: May 24, 1982 - Sep 1, 1982 Survey Data Type: Quantitative Data

The Social Survey is a series of surveys on the economic and social situation of students in Germany that has been in existence since 1951. Every three to four years, a cross-section of students is surveyed on aspects of access to higher education, structu... moreral features of study, social and economic situation, including income and cost of living, employment, housing situation, as well as socio-demographic characteristics, partnership status and parenthood. The data package includes the data from the 10th Social Survey (1982), which was limited to German students in the old Länder. An additional questionnaire included Questions about the psychosocial situation. less

Group work in Learning Programming (GAPL) 

Survey Period: May 1, 2020 - Jul 31, 2020 Survey Data Type: Qualitative Data

The research project "Digital Programming in Teams" (DiP-iT) investigates how collaborative learning in computer science studies can be didactically developed and supported with digital tools. The project focuses on the use and implementation of learning a... morenalytics methods. The DiP-iT project aims to develop didactic and technical support in computer science studies for learning to program in teams. In order to achieve this goal, the sub-study "Gruppenarbeit beim Programmieren lernen" (GAPL; engl: Group work in Learning Programming) first took stock of the initial situation at the three locations of the joint universities (TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg and Humboldt University Berlin). Interviews with lecturers (data set 1) and students (data set 2) of the three participating universities were conducted to determine the initial situation. It was analyzed to what extent cooperative and collaborative methods are already used in teaching to learn programming. Subsequently, it can be deduced, among other things, how collaborative programming learning can be supported in the future (technically, didactically, organizationally, etc.), where unused potentials lie and which obstacles must be considered in an implementation. The lecturers hold basic courses on learning to program in computer science and were asked, for example, about the extent to which they use group work in their courses and what opportunities and risks they see in group work. The students of computer science have already participated in basic courses on learning to program in computer science or are participating in them in the semester of the interview. Among other things, they were asked about the extent to which they used group work in the course, how they experienced group work, and what opportunities and risks they see in group work. less

DZHW Graduate Panel 2009 

Survey Period: Feb 1, 2010 - Jul 3, 2019 Survey Data Type: Quantitative Data

The DZHW Graduate Panel 2009 is part of the DZHW Graduate Survey Series, which compiles information on study, career entry, career development and further qualifications of higher education graduates using standardised surveys. The first Graduate Panel was... more created in 1989. Since then, every fourth graduate year (cohort) has been surveyed. For each graduate cohort, a series of survey waves are carried out, with each wave occurring at differing time intervals following the completion of degree. The DZHW Graduate Panel 2009 comprises the sixth graduate cohort of the survey series. Similar to the 2005 cohort, the study phase of the 2009 cohort is defined by the transformation of higher education through the Bologna Process as well as the changed labour market conditions due to the economic and financial crisis in 2008. In contrast to preceding graduate cohorts, a large number of Bachelor graduates were surveyed in addition to graduates of traditional courses of study. As a methodical innovation, the second survey wave for the 2009 cohort was conducted online for the first time. In addition to the main survey, the second survey wave includes two in-depth surveys on the topics „doctorate“ and „regional mobility“. The third wave of the survey, which was also conducted online, also consists of a main survey and two in-depth surveys on the topics of "mobility/job content" and "reconciling work and family life," although only the data from the main survey has been made available for secondary use to date. 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.

Recursive problem solving in the online learning environment CodingBat by computer science students 

Survey Period: Mar 21, 2017 - Apr 6, 2017 Survey Data Type: Qualitative Data

The data package has been gathered within the scope of the dissertation of the data provider, Natalie Kiesler. It focuses on informative feedback, its design, and its implementation in basic programming education. It was used to answer the research questio... moren about the effects of informative feedback offered by (online) self-learning tools. Especially those coding tools with automatic assessment can lead to frustrations for learners, if they receive minimal feedback or if tasks are too complex. Therefore, it seemed reasonable to examine the effects of individual feedback types in greater detail in order to assess their impact in the context of programming education. Thus, the impact of informative feedback on learners was explored by means of thinking aloud experiments in order to obtain further clues for the design of feedback in basic programming education. Students’ steps during recursive problem solving of standard computer science problems (including the computation of the factorial of natural numbers, as well as the computation of the Fibonacci sequence) were recorded in a professional usability lab in form of both audio and video data (among them screencasts). A self-developed feedback prototype and the freely available online tool CodingBat were utilized for the investigation. The data on students’ steps includes their task processing time, interactions, feedback demands and use, so that the student steps in the problem solving process can be qualitatively traced. Thus, mental models, or student approaches towards recursive problem solving can become more transparent. The full transcripts of the thinking aloud experiments are too extensive, so they are not provided for reasons of data economy. Instead, the transcripts of the students’ screen activities in terms of coding are made available. less
