SPP 1646: Education as a Lifelong Process. Analysing Data of the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS)

在德国，很少有人知道教育是一个终生的过程，也不知道学习在一生中的多个环境中产生的累积和互动影响。德国新的国家教育小组研究(NEP)提供了独特的、具有全国代表性的关于个人教育职业和能力的纵向数据，以及它们在与家庭、教育机构、工作场所和私人生活相关的一生中是如何展开的。优先方案包括来自六个不同学科的17个研究项目，这些项目致力于以下一个或多个研究主题：(1)研究整个生命周期的能力发展，(2)利用非国家非国家组织数据库进行其他相关的实质性分析，(3)将非国家非国家组织的数据与更多的国家和/或国际数据集结合起来，以及(4)处理与非国家非国家组织有关的方法学问题。这些项目分布在七所德国大学和七个德国研究机构。优先方案由雷尔教授负责协调。波尔。H.C.博士。Hans-Peter Blossfeld和Sabine Weinert教授(均为班贝格大学)。在2009/2010年度(成人组)和2010/2011年度(四岁的幼儿园儿童、10岁和15岁的中学儿童以及高等教育机构的大一新生)对非符合资格儿童进行了第一波评估。2013年，将把婴儿样本(在他们的第一年)添加到非国家卫生组织中。在这些队列之后，将每年进行一次扫荡。来自第一波非政府组织的数据最近作为科学使用档案发表。虽然主方案的批准期限为六年(自2012年1月1日起)，但个别项目的初始执行期限为三年，三年后可能延长，新项目也将包括在内。

In Germany, little is known about education as a lifelong process or about the cumulative and interactive impact of learning that occurs in multiple contexts over the life span. The new National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) in Germany provides unique, nationally representative longitudinal data on individual educational careers and competencies and how they unfold over the life course in relation to the family, educational institutions, workplaces and private life. The Priority Programme encompasses 17 research projects from six different disciplines that are devoted to one or more of the following research topics: (1) studying competence development over the life course, (2) utilising the NEPS database for other relevant substantive analyses, (3) combining NEPS data with additional national and/or international datasets and (4) dealing with methodological issues relevant to the NEPS. These projects are distributed throughout seven German universities and seven German research institutes. The Priority Programme is coordinated by Prof. Dr. rer. pol. Dr. h.c. Hans-Peter Blossfeld and Prof. Dr. Sabine Weinert (both University of Bamberg). The first assessment waves of the NEPS were carried out in 2009/2010 (adult cohort) and 2010/2011 (kindergarten children at age four, children in secondary school at ages 10 and 15, and freshmen at the institutions of tertiary education). In 2013, a sample of infants (in their first year of life) will be added to the NEPS. These cohorts will be followed up by yearly sweeps. Data from the first wave of the NEPS was recently published as a scientific use file. While the main programme is approved for six years (since 1.1.2012), the individual projects will be implemented initially for three years and may be extended after three years as well as new projects will be included.
