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.

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

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

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 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
