Publications of General Educational Science 

Survey Period: Oct 6, 2021 - Aug 25, 2023 Survey Data Type: Quantitative Data

For some years now, debates about the situation and profile of general educational science have been intensifying. The data set provided was created in the context of a project group that came together on the occasion of an invitation at the end of 2020 fr... moreom the board of the DGfE Commission on Science Studies to empirically examine the past and present aggregate states of “general educational science” or “general pedagogy” (hereinafter referred to as AEW). In the first step, the group of relevant people for AEW was determined and surveyed on the basis of denominations. This is an institutionally and organizationally justified setting that follows a disciplinary logic: Professors who hold a chair in educational science or a professorship in educational science with a denomination relevant to the project context or who head such work areas are, according to the label, concerned with AEW (at least in part) in their everyday work at the time of the survey. They represent this aspect of the discipline, train future potential researchers for the discipline, etc. Accordingly, data was collected from all educational science locations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (including universities and teacher training colleges) in order to compile a list of general educational scientists (n = 184). This list forms the starting point or data basis for the present data package. This is a list of publications that can be assigned to the AEW in terms of personnel (by denomination). The FIS Bildung literature database was used to create the dataset of AEW publications. 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
