Learning Progression Analytics - Analysing and Promoting Learning Progressions to Develop Skills (LPA-AFLEK)
No full textSuccessful school teaching means more than merely working on predetermined topics. The goal is for students to develop competencies and build interconnected knowledge. Digital teaching units enable the recording and analysis of individual learning trajectories and provide feedback to teachers about their productivity. How teachers can use these data to transform unproductive learning trajectories into productive ones has been little researched so far. The project consortium funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) consists of the Leibniz Institute for Science and Mathematics Education (IPN), the Leibniz Institute for Educational Research and Educational Information (DIPF), and Ruhr University Bochum (RUB). The aim is to map individual learning trajectories and associated learning difficulties. Data from digital physics teaching units are used to identify productive and unproductive learning trajectories. Automatically detected learning difficulties serve as a basis for deriving recommendations for teachers to promote productive learning. The interdisciplinary team uses so-called Teacher Dashboards that provide teachers with near real-time feedback on their students´ learning progress. The IPN coordinates the consortium and contributes expertise in subject didactics and competence diagnostics. The DIPF focuses on learning analytics, and Ruhr University is responsible for testing the Teacher Dashboards under real classroom conditions.Erfolgreicher Schulunterricht ist mehr als die bloße Beschäftigung mit vorgegebenen Themen. Ziel ist, dass Schülerinnen und Schüler Kompetenzen entwickeln und vernetztes Wissen aufbauen. Digitale Unterrichtseinheiten ermöglichen es, individuelle Lernverläufe zu erfassen, zu analysieren, wie produktiv sie sind, und die Ergebnisse Lehrkräften zurückzumelden. Wie Lehrkräfte diese Informationen nutzen können, um unproduktive Lernverläufe produktiv zu gestalten, ist bislang wenig erforscht. Das vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) geförderte Verbundprojekt des Leibniz-Instituts für die Pädagogik der Naturwissenschaften und Mathematik (IPN), des Leibniz-Instituts für Bildungsforschung und Bildungsinformation (DIPF) und der Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) hat das Ziel, individuelle Lernverläufe und Lernschwierigkeiten abzubilden. Daten aus digitalen Physikunterrichtseinheiten werden genutzt, um produktive und unproduktive Lernverläufe zu identifizieren. Automatisch erkannte Lernschwierigkeiten dienen als Grundlage für Handlungsvorschläge, mit denen Lehrkräfte Lernverläufe verbessern können. Das interdisziplinäre Team verwendet Teacher Dashboards, die Lehrkräften nahezu in Echtzeit Feedback zu Lernverläufen geben. Das IPN koordiniert das Projekt und bringt fachdidaktische Expertise ein, das DIPF fokussiert die Analyse mittels Learning Analytics, und die Ruhr-Universität Bochum erprobt die Dashboards unter realen Bedingungen
Core Study Questionnaire 2024
No full textThe Social Study administers a yearly core study questionnaire that captures essential socio-demographic, behavioral, and attitudinal information among all panel members. These data are made freely available to the scientific community, allowing researchers to save time and avoid repeating basic questions in their own surveys within the TSS panel (such as education level or household composition). The first Core Study Questionnaire of The Social Study was fielded in 2024, collecting a broad range of data across three full survey waves – plus additional questions from other waves – amounting to approximately one hour of survey time
Irish Study of Sexual Health and Relationships (ISSHR), 2006
No full textThe Irish Study of Sexual Health and Relationships (ISSHR) was commissioned by the Crisis Pregnancy Agency. ISSHR (2006) surveyed the sexual knowledge, attitudes and behaviours of Irish adults between the ages of 18-64. The primary aim of the project, as set out in the tender document, was the collection of reliable nationally representative baseline information that would: build a representative and reliable national picture of sex and sexual behaviour in Ireland measure levels of sexual knowledge among people in Ireland reliably assess national attitudes toward important constructs related to sex, sexuality, service use, etc, to examine patterns (similarities and differences) among different cohorts and patterns underlying these variations examine, explore and reliably describe the interrelationships between knowledge, attitudes and behaviours in the context of theory, sexual health promotion and policy development Key variable areas Learning about Sex; Sexual knowledge, attitudes and beliefs; First Sexual Experience; Sexual attraction; Heterosexual partnerships and practices; Most recent sexual event; Sexual problems; Sexual experience outside of Ireland and the UK; STIs and use of health care services; Demographics and personal characteristics</li
Growing Up in Ireland (GUI) Cohort ’08 (Infant Cohort) Wave 1 - 9 months, 2008
No full textGrowing Up in Ireland - the National Longitudinal Study of Children, is the first survey of its kind ever undertaken in Ireland and, as such, aims to explore the many and varied factors that contribute to or undermine the wellbeing of children currently living there. A two age cohort longitudinal design was adopted with one cohort of 11,134 infants (aged nine months) and the other of 8,568 nine-year olds, with a view to improving and understanding of children’s development across a range of domains. Since the survey is longitudinal in nature respondents in both cohorts are interviewed on a number of occasions over the folowing few years. The 11,134 children representing the nine-month cohort were born between 1st December 2007 and the 30th June 2008 and data collection for that group took place between September 2008 and April 2009
Ready to Learn (RTL) Baseline, 2008: well being and educational attainment of primary school pupils in Northern Ireland, 2008
No full textThis study contains the findings of a baseline survey conducted for the evaluation of the Barnardo's 'Ready to Learn' (RTL) Programme. The survey was conducted to provide quality baseline data on the distribution of educational outcomes and indicators of wellbeing among Year 4 and Year 7 children, particularly in schools that have low educational attainment and are located in deprived areas in Northern Ireland. Participants completed questionnaires assessing physical and psychological well-being, social acceptance, peer relationships, school environment, self-esteem, enjoyment of education and aspirations for the future. Key Stage Maths and English scores were also captured. The survey aimed to determine how these outcomes relate together and what socio-demographic variables might be associated with these and identify levels of need in relation to the outcomes in order to aid Barnardo's in deciding where best to target their intervention
Eager and Able to Learn (EAL) Baseline, 2008-2009: The developmental status of 2-3 year old children entering group-based settings in Northern Ireland
No full textThis study comprises of three datasets containing the findings of a baseline survey conducted as part of the evaluation of the 'Eager and Able to Learn (EAL)' programme, the pilot programme designed by Early Years, which is the organisation for young children in Northern Ireland. The programme is targeted at 2-3 years olds in early years settings. The baseline survey was conducted between October 2008 and January 2009. The purpose of the baseline survey was to gain a 'snapshot' of the developmental stages of a large sample of 2-3 year old children in Northern Ireland. A secondary purpose was to find out the perceptions of children's parents and practitioners in the early years setting, about the developmental needs of 2-3 year olds and their associated actions and interactions with the children
European Union Survey of Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC), 2017
No full textThe Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) in Ireland is a household survey covering a broad range of issues in relation to income and living conditions. It is the official source of data on household and individual income and also provides a number of key national poverty indicators, such as the ‘at risk of poverty’ rate, the consistent poverty rate and rates of enforced deprivation. The primary focus of the Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) is the collection of information on the income and living conditions of different types of households in Ireland, in order to derive indicators on poverty, deprivation and social exclusion. It is a voluntary survey of private households. The SILC Anonymised Microdata File (AMF) contains both personal and household level data. Household data is at present duplicated for each member of the household. If performing household level analysis, please be aware of this and subset the data to include a single entry per household (interview_hh = 1). Please note: In 2020 AMF was revised to be more in line with the SILC RMF. Variables were renamed in accordance with Eurostats Doc65, which provides methodological guidelines and description of EU-SILC target variables. The target variables within the AMF are data on household and individual income as well as a number of key national poverty indicators, therefore variables identified as being not relevant to SILC were removed from the AMF. Furthermore, additional statistical disclosure controls were also implemented in the revisions so as to adhere to updates of the Legislation, Governance & Data Policies of the CSO. Please note: SILC AMF data is cross-sectional microdata in which household and/or individuals cannot be tracked over time. The household id variables in each cross sectional file are randomly generated and cannot be linked between yearly datasets

Data collection for the second wave at age 3 years took place between December 2010 and July 2011 and resulted in a completed datafile of 9,793 cases
Healthy Ireland Survey, 2016
No full textThe annual Healthy Ireland Survey provides an up-to-date picture of the nation’s health along with a robust and credible baseline set of data on a range of health behaviours which have significant impact on individual health outcomes. These data are being used by the Department of Health to inform current and future policy direction and programme development and implementation. The Survey reports on many lifestyle behaviours such as smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, active travel, weight management, diet and nutrition, health service utilization patterns, dental health, chronic disease incidence, mental health, sleep patterns, dementia awareness, caring responsibilities and sexual health. Some modules are repeated every year (e.g. smoking, demographics, chronic conditions), however, the majority of modules are being repeated on a 2-4 year cycle, allowing the Survey to ask a wider variety of questions. The Questionnaire for each year therefore varies substantially (but not completely) from the year before; researchers should be aware of that. Since 2014, the Healthy Ireland Survey has been administered on an annual basis by Ipsos-MRBI on behalf of the Department of Health; the Survey is currently in the second year of its second contract
