Refugees on their Way into German Higher Education. Interviews with refugees preparing for university studies (Qualitative sub study 1)

Survey Period: Jan 1, 2019 - Apr 30, 2019 Survey Data Type: Qualitative Data

The project 'Pathways of Refugees to German Universities', in short: WeGe, was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) from April 2017 to March 2021 as part of the funding line 'Study Success and Study Dropout I'. The project invest... moreigated the challenges faced by refugee prospective students in preparing for university and the factors that influence whether preparation for university succeeds and a transition to higher education is completed. Data from the three sub studies (2x qualitative, 1x quantitative) were published in separate data packages. The present data package contains scientific transcripts of qualitative interviews with participants of study preparation courses of selected study colleges and universities in Germany. The interviews were oriented to the episodic interview method. 18 persons were interviewed, 11 of them twice. Topics of the interviews included the situation in study preparation, the study decision, and study entry. less

Motives, incentives and influencing factors for open science practices among open science award winners

Survey Period: Sep 7, 2021 - Nov 23, 2021 Survey Data Type: Qualitative Data

In the course of the science policy agenda for the increased establishment of open science approaches in the last two decades, prizes and awards have also been developed and presented for this field of action. As part of a full survey of open science award... more winners in the German science system, qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted with this target group between September and December 2021, the transcripts of which are made available here for further scientific reuse. The transcribed data material was collected through episodic narrative interview forms supplemented by visual laddering techniques. For higher education research and science studies in especially, the data package offers methodological and content-related potential for further use. In this way, different questions of science and higher education research can be derived in depth in the context of central motive structures, incentive constellations and influencing factors for the anchoring of open science practices. Methodologically, the testing of the laddering interview technique for the first time in this subject area offers possibilities for reconstructing the motives and interests of higher education actors. In terms of content, corresponding award winners were interviewed for the first time for the object of study of open science practices, and a variety of questions about individual, institutional and technical factors in the context of the anchoring of open science practices can be newly applied to the data set. less

Graduate Survey 2017

Survey Period: Oct 1, 2018 - Feb 28, 2019 Survey Data Type: Quantitative Data

The 2017 graduate survey is conducted in the context of the DZHW graduate study series, which uses standardized surveys to collect information on the studies, career entry, career path and further qualification of university graduates. The first graduate ... morepanel was conducted in 1989, and since then every fourth cohort of graduates has been surveyed. The 2017 graduate survey is the first collaborative project in the context of the DZHW graduate study series. The joint partners DZHW, INCHER, and ISTAT aim to take into account the interests of different user groups as comprehensively as possible. To this end, a jointly coordinated and redesigned instrument is to make it possible to take into account questions of both national education monitoring and higher education management and research (Fabian, Flöther & Reifenberg, 2021). Thematically, the 2017 graduate survey focuses on the transition to the labor market (or to further academic qualifications) and an initial labor market placement. The collection of nationally representative data on the 2017 graduating class is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). less

DZHW PhD Panel 2014

Survey Period: Dec 15, 2014 - May 6, 2019 Survey Data Type: Quantitative Data

The DZHW Panel Study: Careers of PhD Holders 2014 is a panel study of the DZHW concerning the careers of doctoral graduates. The study analyses how the formal context as well as the learning and development conditions that PhD graduates experienced during ... moretheir doctorate studies influence the transition into employment and the further development of their professional career, both within as well as outside academia. The basic population comprises all persons who obtained a doctorate degree from a higher education institution with the right to award doctorates in Germany in the examination year of 2014. The panel is designed as a census in order to generate a sufficiently high number of cases. Apart from basic data for the education report, the data set includes detailed information on the learning and development conditions during the doctorate studies as well as the career path of PhD holders after graduation. The data set also includes a range of personality traits (Big Five, self-efficacy, internal/external locus of control) together with background information on sociographic and educational biography. less

Group work in Learning Programming (GAPL)

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

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
