Im Rahmen des Projekts "Administrative Ungleichheit bei der Bearbeitung von Anträgen auf deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft (AdmInCit)" haben wir von den Statistischen Landesämtern Ausländer- und Einbürgerungsdaten für den Zeitraum 2000 bis 2021 erhalten. Der Datensatz umfasst Variablen zu Ausländerdaten insgesamt und für Türk*innen, Italiener*innen und Pol*innen. Außerdem stellen wir Einbürgerungszahlen insgesamt und für die gleichen drei Nationalitäten zur Verfügung. Dies umfasst auch Variablen zur Gewährung von Mehrstaatigkeit und wie viele Personen bei der Einbürgerung über 60 Jahre alt waren. Auf Kreisebene verfügen wir über Daten zu 197 Kreisen und kreisfreien Städten aus acht Bundesländern. Auf Regierungsbezirksebene verfügen wir über Daten zu bayerischen und hessischen Bezirken. Auf Landesebe verfügen wir über Daten zu 14 der 16 Bundesländer. Weitere Informationen entnehmen Sie bitte dem Codebook.

Understanding Non-compliance with Prevention Measures against COVID-19 Infections in Germany (U-Comply) - Reduced version
No full textThe U-COMPLY project is a 3-wave panel study funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) with the purpose to understand non-compliance to the COVID-19 regulations in Germany. The study was conducted by Bilendi & respondi. In the survey period from April to September 2022, the German population aged between 18 and 75 years was asked about their compliance patterns, their perception of norms and compliance by others in their social network in online interviews (CASI) with a focus on adherence to the COVID-19 regulations. In addition, the survey explored possible antecedents of such behavior (e.g., self-control, perceived susceptibility and severity of infection, expected sanctions in case of non-adherence, vaccination status, immunization status, self-reported knowledge about COVID-19, information frequency, risk-group membership, contact with vulnerable individuals, conspiracy beliefs, political orientation) and conducted several vignette survey experiments. The respondents were selected using a quota sample from an online access panel from Bilendi & respondi.Wave 1:

GESIS Panel.pop Population Sample \u2013 Extended Edition
No full textThe GESIS Panel provides a probability-based mixed-mode access panel infrastructure located at GESIS Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences in Mannheim, Germany. The project offers the social science community an opportunity to collect survey data from a representative sample of the German population. Submitted study proposals are evaluated based on a scientific review process.
Panel members were initially recruited in 2013 in face-to-face interviews followed by a self-administered profile survey. The mode was chosen by the participants. All participants of the profile survey are considered as members of the panel and invited to the bi-monthly regular waves. The starting cohort encompassed 4900 panelists at the beginning of 2014.
In order to compensate for panel attrition, a refreshment sample was drawn in 2016, using the General Social Survey (ALLBUS) interview as vehicle. The initial cohort encompasses German speaking respondents aged between 18 and 70 years (at the time of recruitment) and permanently residing in Germany, whereas the second cohort includes respondents from the age of 18 without upper restriction.
In 2018 a third recruitment sample was drawn, which was integrated with the wave ge. The third cohort also includes respondents aged 18 and over without an upper limit.
Retroactively, cases up to and including wave fc (third wave from 2018) were added to the data. The Data Manual (ZA5664-65_sd_data-manual) has been reissued and there is a corresponding recruitment report (ZA5664-65_mb_recruitment2018).
The ALLBUS Sample is based on a disproportional sampling of respondents from the western and eastern part of Germany. A design weight that enables integration of the two recruitment cohorts is included into the dataset.
For more details, please see the methods reports of the recruitment processes and die GESIS Panel reference paper (Bosnjak et al., 2017).
In March 2020, a special GESIS panel survey was conducted on the SARS-CoV-2 resp. COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak in Germany.
In 2021, the fourth recruitment sample was drawn using the German International Social Survey Programme (ISSP), which was integrated with wave ja. The fourth cohort also includes respondents aged 18 and older with no upper limit. For more information, see the corresponding recruitment report (ZA5664-65_r_i12.pdf).
In 2023, the fifth recruitment sample was drawn using the German European Social Survey (ESS Round 11), which was integrated with the wave la. The fifth cohort includes respondents aged 18 and over with no upper limit. For more information, see the corresponding recruitment report (ZA5664-65_r_k12.pdf).

Th\ufcringen-Monitor 2000-2024
No full textThe Thüringen-Monitor is a representative population survey on political culture in the Free State of Thuringia that has been held annually since 2000. It contains fixed and changing questions. The Thuringia Monitor is commissioned by the Thuringian State Chancellery (Erfurt). A particular focus is on research into right-wing extremist attitudes, acceptance of democracy, satisfaction with democracy and the institutional trust of the Thuringian population. The basic population is the electorate of the Free State of Thuringia. By 2022, a total of 22 survey waves with at least 1,000 respondents each were carried out in the trend design by changing survey institutes (CATI, random sampling according to the Gabler-Häder design). No survey took place in 2009. From 2012, the data were weighted according to the Thuringian State Statistical Office with regard to age, gender, education and household size (IPF weighting).
In the 2024 Thuringia Monitor, the previous representative landline survey (CATI) was converted to a combined dual-mode design of landline (CATI) and online survey (CAWI).
Between 2000 and 2024, a total of 1,438 different variables were collected in the Thuringia Monitor, which can be assigned to the following categories:
1 Deprivation/Anomy/Satisfaction
2 Thuringia/Identity/German Unity
3 Politics/Democracy/Institutions/Actors
4 Right-wing extremism/attitude towards migration/minorities
5 GDR/Socialism
6 Social State/Market Economy/Ecology
7 Social problems
8 Values
9 Family/education and education/generational relations
10 Internationalization/Europeanization/Cultural Competence
11 Health and care
12 Covid-19 Pandemic
13 City and country
14 Environment and climate
15 Transformation of the working world
The series of measurements on right-wing extremist attitudes is based on ten consent items (with four-step response scales) and begins in 2001. According to the consensus definition of right-wing extremism, it covers the following attitudinal dimensions: xenophobia, nationalism/chauvinism, social Darwinism, trivialisation of National Socialism, anti-Semitism and advocacy of a right-wing dictatorship (vgl. Heinrich Best / Katja Salomo (2014): Güte und Reichweite der Messung des Rechtsextremismus im THÜRINGEN-MONITOR 2000 bis 2014. Expertise für die Thüringer Staatskanzlei.

LAKTAT - Laypeople as actors in all-day schooling. Quantitative assessment at the socio-spatial level (Sub-study A)
No full textOver the past two decades, the staff at German all-day schools has changed significantly in terms of both quantity and quality (Tillmann, 2020). The school environment has now become a multi-professional arena (Rother et al., 2021). Not only teachers are involved, but also so-called additional educational staff (wptP), which is made up of individuals with sometimes very different educational qualifications and expertise. Individuals without formally recognized educational training, known as educational laypersons (Steiner, 2013), also play a role.
To date, the professional discourse has hardly dealt with educational laypersons. In addition, there has been little research activity with regard to this specific status group. Research on the overall situation of educational laypersons, their integration into the school organization, and their educational orientations is still sorely lacking.
The overarching aim of the LAKTAT research project is to analyze the relevance of lay educators at all-day schools, their organizational integration, and their pedagogical orientations, and to formulate the initial elements of an exploratory theory on the “layification of all-day schools.” Not only because of the shortage of skilled workers, the question of qualification in this area must be raised, reflected upon empirically, and further addressed in educational and professional policy discourses.
The research project was carried out using a mixed-methods design, which combines both quantitative and qualitative research methods and has been described in detail by Danner et al. (2023). There are three sub-studies focusing on the levels of system (A), organization (B), and actors (C). The data was collected in three different local authorities in Lower Saxony (two districts, one large city).
Substudy A focused on taking stock of the teaching staff at all-day schools. An online questionnaire was used to collect current and comprehensive data on the situation of teaching staff. The aim was, on the one hand, to create a systematic overview of professionalization in the all-day school sector. On the other hand, this preliminary survey also had a practical research function, in that the results of the latent profile analysis of the quantitative data provided a basis for the informed selection of qualitative case studies in sub-studies B and C.
The qualitative transcribed interviews and network maps from sub-studies B and C are available from the FDZ Bildung at the DIPF – Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education, but cannot be linked to the quantitative data on an individual level. Access to the qualitative data is granted upon request to the FDZ Bildung (see also further information).In den vergangenen zwei Dekaden hat sich das Personal an deutschen Ganztagsschulen quantitativ und qualitativ stark verändert (Tillmann, 2020). Das schulische Handlungsfeld ist mittlerweile zu einer multiprofessionellen Arena geworden (Rother et al., 2021). Nicht nur Lehrkräfte sind involviert, sondern auch das sogenannte weitere pädagogisch tätige Personal (wptP), das sich aus Akteur:innen mit zum Teil sehr verschiedenen pädagogischen Qualifikationen und Expertisen zusammensetzt. Auch Akteur:innen ohne eine formal anerkannte pädagogische Ausbildung wirken mit, die sogenannten pädagogischen Lai:innen (Steiner, 2013).
Der Fachdiskurs befasst sich bislang kaum mit den pädagogischen Lai:innen. Zudem ist mit Blick auf diese spezifische Statusgruppe eine geringe Forschungsaktivität zu konstatieren. Die Forschung zur Gesamtsituation pädagogischer Lai:innen, ihrer Einbindung in die Organisation Schule und ihren pädagogischen Orientierungen sind immer noch ein empfindliches Desiderat.
Das übergeordnete Anliegen des Forschungsprojekts LAKTAT ist es, die Relevanz von pädagogischen Lai:innen an Ganztagsschulen sowie ihre organisationale Eingebundenheit und pädagogischen Orientierungen zu analysieren und erste Elemente einer explorativen Theorie zur „pädagogischen Laisierung der Ganztagsschule“ zu formulieren. Nicht nur wegen des Fachkräftemangels muss in diesem Bereich die Frage der Qualifizierung gestellt, empirisch reflektiert und auch in bildungs- und professionspolitischen Diskursen weiter bearbeitet werden.
Das Forschungsvorhaben wurde in einem Mixed-Methods-Design realisiert, welches sowohl quantitative als auch qualitative Forschungsmethoden zusammenführt und bei Danner et. al (2023) ausführlich beschrieben worden ist. Es gibt drei Teilstudien mit Fokus auf die Ebenen System (A), Organisation (B) und Akteur:innen (C). Die Daten wurden in drei verschiedenen Gebietskörperschaften in Niedersachsen (zwei Landkreise, eine Großstadt) erhoben.
In Teilstudie A lag der Schwerpunkt auf einer Bestandsaufnahme des pädagogisch tätigen Personals an Ganztagsschulen. Hierfür wurde ein Online-Fragebogen eingesetzt, um aktuelle und umfassende Daten zur Situation der pädagogischen Fachkräfte zu erheben. Ziel war es, einerseits einen systematischen Überblick über die Professionalisierung im Ganztagsbereich zu schaffen. Andererseits hatte diese vorgelagerte Befragung auch eine forschungspraktische Funktion, indem die Ergebnisse der latenten Profilanalyse der quantitativen Daten eine Grundlage für die fundierte Auswahl qualitativer Fallstudien in den Teilstudien B und C lieferten.
Die qualitativen transkribierten Interviews und Netzwerkkarten der Teilstudie B und C sind über das FDZ Bildung vom DIPF - Leibniz-Institut für Bildungsforschung und Bildungsinformation verfügbar, lassen sich mit den quantitativen Daten aber nicht auf Personenebene verknüpfen. Der Zugriff auf die qualitativen Daten erfolgt über eine Beantragung beim FDZ Bildung (siehe auch weiter Hinweise)
