Data Search for Higher Education Research and Science Studies

Survey Period: Jan 11, 2016 - Jun 1, 2016 Survey Data Type: Quantitative Data

Students at different universities in Germany were surveyed in 2016 about their study success in the study called "Studying successfully" (Erfolgreich Studieren, (Estud)). The study focusses on explanatory mechanisms of primary effects (social class achiev... moreement gaps in university grades) in higher education. The questionnaire comprises items on motivation, competency beliefs, social integration in the academic field, study habits and environmental conditions of students. Students from 18 universities in 11 federal states of Germany took part in the web survey. While the first wave focusses on a variety of different theoretical constructs for students with some study experience, the subsequent second wave is aimed at collecting those constructs for the first waves' first semester students. Additionally, some time variant items were administered to the entire population of the second wave. Currently, the first wave of Estud is available as SUF. less

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

Survey Period: Nov 3, 2020 - Jul 16, 2023 Survey Data Type: Quantitative Data

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. ... moreParticipation 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. less
