New NEPS study "Education for the world of tomorrow" with 20,000 students starts in fall

How does digitalization affect learning? What contributes to students' willingness to engage socially? And what about inclusion and educational equity? In the fall of 2022, the new NEPS study "Education for the World of Tomorrow" will start and will address these topics. To this purpose, 20,000 students and about twice as many people from their surroundings, such as teachers and parents, will be surveyed. Until the summer, the new NEPS study will be presented in the form of online events at selected regular and special schools to promote participation.

The new study "Education for the Worldof tomorrow" is part of the National Educational Panel Study also known as the NEPS. With around 60,000 participants of all ages to date and an additional 40,000 people from their surroundings, the NEPS study is the largest long-term educational and social science research project in Germany. Since the study was launched twelve years ago, it has already yielded many findings on education and the learning behavior and development of students. The expansion of the NEPS study will now open new research approaches and comparative perspectives. The surveys will include students in the fifth grade as well as their parents, teachers and school administrators, starting in fall 2022.

New topics for NEPS
School and society have undergone major changes in recent years: digitalization, inclusion and integration are not only changing our everyday lives, but also educational institutions. In some cases these developments have not yet been well researched. Therefore, the aim of the new study is to gain more insights and thereby options for action on the topics of educational equity, identity formation, inclusive learning and social engagement. In addition, the NEPS study "Education for the world of tomorrow" offers a unique opportunity to connect to the IQB Education Trend. This regularly surveys the extent to which students in Germany achieve the educational standards that are binding in all federal states and where may be a need for action.

Randomly selected schools invited to participate
The participation of school administrators, teachers, students and their parents in the new NEPS study is central to creating a data basis that will provide important impulses to the scientific community, as well as for the ministries of education and cultural affairs in the federal states for the further development of education in Germany. Currently, randomly selected regular schools and special schools with a focus on learning throughout Germany are being asked to participate in the new NEPS study "Education for the world of tomorrow." A total of 20,000 students from 575 schools are to be included in the study and monitored with surveys over several years. The first surveys are to begin after the summer vacations at the start of the new school year.

Responsible for planning and coordinating the study is an interdisciplinary consortium of renowned research institutes headed by Prof. Dr. Cordula Artelt, director of the Leibniz Institute for Educational Trajectories (LIfBi) in Bamberg and head of the NEPS study. The survey institute IEA Hamburg, which specializes in conducting large national and international school performance studies, such as PISA, was commissioned to conduct the surveys in the schools.
