Ableism, the dis/ability binary and beyond: Stage 1 (OA edition)
No full textFull edition for public use. This dataset is the basis for the first research stage of the qualitative study "Ableism, the dis/ability binary and beyond". The aim of the project is to create a feminist intersectional approach to ableism. For this purpose, a close collaboration with independent researchers who adress ableism in their advocacy, activism and artvisim is implemented throughout all stages of the research project. This dataset contains a) data collected through a systematic search in three academic databases that produced an overview of sources (n=1459) and b) additional data that was purposefully selected by the collaborators (n=116). Data are presented in two separate EXCEL documents, including information about author(s), year of publication, title, type of document or source, language and abstract or a note where there was no abstract available, as well as information about who of the collaborators chose which sources. Through a multiple-step process, explained by the flow-chart, the systematically collected data corpus was narrowed down to sources that focus on (especially gendered) ableism from an intersectional perspective. Collaborators chose 3 sources each from the purposefully collected data corpus that they determined as most relevant for understanding ableism from an intersectional perspective
Labour Force Survey Five-Quarter Longitudinal Dataset, October 2023 - December, 2024
No full textAbstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.Background The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is a unique source of information using international definitions of employment and unemployment and economic inactivity, together with a wide range of related topics such as occupation, training, hours of work and personal characteristics of household members aged 16 years and over. It is used to inform social, economic and employment policy. The LFS was first conducted biennially from 1973-1983. Between 1984 and 1991 the survey was carried out annually and consisted of a quarterly survey conducted throughout the year and a 'boost' survey in the spring quarter (data were then collected seasonally). From 1992 quarterly data were made available, with a quarterly sample size approximately equivalent to that of the previous annual data. The survey then became known as the Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS). From December 1994, data gathering for Northern Ireland moved to a full quarterly cycle to match the rest of the country, so the QLFS then covered the whole of the UK (though some additional annual Northern Ireland LFS datasets are also held at the UK Data Archive). Further information on the background to the QLFS may be found in the documentation. Longitudinal data The LFS retains each sample household for five consecutive quarters, with a fifth of the sample replaced each quarter. The main survey was designed to produce cross-sectional data, but the data on each individual have now been linked together to provide longitudinal information. The longitudinal data comprise two types of linked datasets, created using the weighting method to adjust for non-response bias. The two-quarter datasets link data from two consecutive waves, while the five-quarter datasets link across a whole year (for example January 2010 to March 2011 inclusive) and contain data from all five waves. A full series of longitudinal data has been produced, going back to winter 1992. Linking together records to create a longitudinal dimension can, for example, provide information on gross flows over time between different labour force categories (employed, unemployed and economically inactive). This will provide detail about people who have moved between the categories. Also, longitudinal information is useful in monitoring the effects of government policies and can be used to follow the subsequent activities and circumstances of people affected by specific policy initiatives, and to compare them with other groups in the population. There are however methodological problems which could distort the data resulting from this longitudinal linking. The ONS continues to research these issues and advises that the presentation of results should be carefully considered, and warnings should be included with outputs where necessary. LFS Documentation The documentation available from the Archive to accompany LFS datasets largely consists of the latest version of each user guide volume alongside the appropriate questionnaire for the year concerned. However, volumes are updated periodically by ONS, so users are advised to check the latest documents on the ONS Labour Force Survey - User Guidance pages before commencing analysis. This is especially important for users of older QLFS studies, where information and guidance in the user guide documents may have changed over time.Occupation data for 2021 and 2022 data filesThe ONS has identified an issue with the collection of some occupational data in 2021 and 2022 data files in a number of their surveys. While they estimate any impacts will be small overall, this will affect the accuracy of the breakdowns of some detailed (four-digit Standard Occupational Classification (SOC)) occupations, and data derived from them. Further information can be found in the ONS article published on 11 July 2023: Revision of miscoded occupational data in the ONS Labour Force Survey, UK: January 2021 to September 2022.2022 WeightingThe population totals used for the latest LFS estimates use projected growth rates from Real Time Information (RTI) data for UK, EU and non-EU populations based on 2021 patterns. The total population used for the LFS therefore does not take into account any changes in migration, birth rates, death rates, and so on since June 2021, and hence levels estimates may be under- or over-estimating the true values and should be used with caution. Estimates of rates will, however, be robust.Main Topics:The five-quarter longitudinal datasets include a subset of the most commonly used variables from the Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS), covering the main areas of the survey
Sosiaalityön laatu ja vaikuttavuus: tutkijasosiaalityöntekijöiden vertaisreflektointikeskustelut 2024-2025
No full textAineisto koostuu kolmesta vertaisreflektiokeskusteluiden litteraatioista. Aineisto on kerätty SULAVA-hankkeen käytäntötutkimusosiossa osana vuoden mittaista sosiaalityön uramallikokeilua (2024-2025), joka toteutettiin Sisä-Suomen yhteistyöalueella lapsiperheiden, työikäisten ja ikääntyneiden palveluissa. Haastateltavina olivat kolme uramallikokeiluun hakenutta ja siihen valituksi tullutta sosiaalityöntekijää Sisä-Suomen yhteistyöalueelta. Haastattelut toteutettiin ohjeistetun keskusteluteemarungon pohjalta. Keskustelun teemoina olivat muun muassa oma rooli tutkijasosiaalityöntekijänä, käytäntötutkimuksen asemoituminen omaan asiakastyöhön ja sen kiinnittyminen osaksi työyhteisön työtoimintaa. Lisäksi keskusteluissa reflektoitiin omaa tutkimus- ja vaikuttavuusosaamista uramallikokeilun aikana. Taustatietoina aineistossa ovat haastateltavien sukupuoli ja tehtävänimike. Haastateltavien työkokemus vaihteli 8-18 vuoden välillä.The data consists of three transcripts of peer reflection discussions. It was collected as part of the SULAVA project's practice research section, as part of a year-long social work career model trial (2024-2025), which was implemented in the Inland Finland collaborative area in services for families with children, working-age adults, and older people. The interviewees were three social workers from the Inland Finland collaborative area who had applied for and been selected for the career model trial. The interviews were conducted using a guided discussion framework. The discussion themes included, among others, the interviewees' own role as a research social worker, the positioning of practice-based research in their client work, and its integration into the activities of the work community. In addition, the discussions reflected on their own research and effectiveness expertise during the career model trial. The background information included the interviewees' gender and job title. The interviewees' work experience ranged from 8 to 18 years
TraCiSS: School Teachers Survey-2025, mixed-country
No full textThe research project “Transversal Competences Assessment in Secondary Schools: An International Comparison of Teachers’ Attitudes and Teaching Practices” (TraCiSS) results from a collaboration between researchers at the University of Bern (ICER) and the St.Gallen University of Teacher Education (Institute of Educational Psychology) to explore shared research questions on assessing transversal competences in secondary schools. By combining resources and sharing knowledge and experience, we aim to improve the efficiency of our research and broaden its geographical reach through an international survey. The primary objective of the TraCiSS study is to compare teachers' teaching practices regarding the assessment of transversal skills across different countries. We focus on the following questions: 1. Future-oriented importance: How do teachers in the countries studied assess the importance of specific transversal competences for the future lives of their students in society? 2. Current teaching practice: Which transversal competences are currently promoted and assessed in the classroom by teachers in the countries studied? What methods are used? 3. Needs analysis: What needs do teachers in the countries studied have regarding the promotion and assessment of transversal competences? 4. International comparison: What country-specific differences and similarities can be recognized concerning future requirements, current teaching practices, and the needs of teachers? To answer these questions, the research team conducted a comprehensive online survey of school teachers in Switzerland and Ukraine, as well as the network of international partner schools of the Goethe-Institut’s exchange program 'SCHULWÄRTS!'. The study focuses on school-based assessment of transversal competences identified in all fields of activity and subject areas. In the countries where teachers are surveyed as part of the TraCiSS study, different terms are used for these competences in official educational documents, including "überfachliche Kompetenzen", “cross-cutting skills” and "transversal competences". As partners in the TraCiSS project, we have therefore agreed to use the internationally recognized term "transversal competences" in our study following the ESCO-Definition (European Skills, Competences, Qualifications, and Occupations): learned and proven abilities that are commonly seen as necessary or valuable for effective action in virtually any kind of work, learning, or life activity (are not exclusively related to any particular context). The term “transversal competences” is used in all the joint project documents and publications. The term used in the teacher survey questionnaire was appropriate for the sample (country), providing a short common explanation to ensure respondents understand it similarly

Parents’ information needs in relation to adolescent self-harm, 2022
No full textThe main aim of this research was to explore the information needs of parents supporting an adolescent who has engaged in self-harm. The research also aimed to gain a better understanding of parental preferences for accessing this information (e.g. online, via SMS message, leaflets). The study used a cross-sectional quantitative design and data was collected online via Qualtrics. Survey items were generated from a rapid review of previous research on the information needs of parents of adolescents who self-harm. Participants were recruited via social media. The data set includes parents’ (N=128; 115 female) ratings of the importance of 37 information topics derived from the rapid review of the literature. All participating parents indicated that they had personal experience of supporting an adolescent who self-harmed. In addition to ratings of each of the information topics, parents rated the ways in which they would like to access the data (e.g. online v leaflets) and who they would trust to provide the information (e.g. MH professionals, health services). The dataset also includes demographic details from each participant in relation to themselves and their adolescent as well as their responses to the Parental Attitudes Toward Psychological Services Inventory (PATPSI). The survey also included detailed demographic questions, capturing information both about the participants and their adolescents
Labour Force Survey (LFS), 2018
No full textThe Labour Force Survey (LFS) is a large-scale, nationwide survey of households in Ireland conducted by the Central Statistics Office. It is designed to produce quarterly labour force estimates that include the official measure of employment and unemployment in the state (ILO basis). This survey replaced the Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) from Q3 2017. The QNHS began in September 1997, replacing the annual April Labour Force Survey (LFS). Each quarter the LFS produces data among others on: Numbers unemployed Persons in employment Labour force participation rates Inactive population (not in the labour force) Sectoral breakdown (Nace Rev. 2) of those in employment Breakdown of headline data by age, sex and region Persons in employment classified by occupation Seasonally adjusted headline series Data on family compositio

Lived Lives I : A Rural Perspective; Lived Lives II : A Psychiatric Hospital Perspective, 2020
No full textThe purpose of the study was to address stigma, and to bring new knowledge and understanding around suicide, by manifesting the Lived Lives project in communities. The Lived Lives project consists of (i) quantitative and qualitative interviews with 104 families who have been bereaved by suicide (ii) an art archive created from personal donations of 62 of the 104 suicide-bereaved families about their lost loved one. From these donations, the artist created a series of art-works – the Lived Lives artworks, which were introduced privately to the donor families (and documented), who then made a collective decision to bring these to the public. Manifesting the Lived Lives project in the public domain over the past decade has involved the installation of the Lived Lives artworks (in a series of public locations), together with a science-arts mediated tour through the exhibition with members of the public who wish to participate in this guided exhibition, and with documented feedback from these participants. This feedback includes anonymous and de-identified oral as well as written feedback related to the subject matter (suicide), as well as the Lived Lives guided exhibition
