New Scientific Use File of Starting Cohort 5 (First-Year Students) released

New data for the NEPS Starting Cohort 5 are now available in version 19.0.0 for scientific use.

The current Scientific Use File (doi:10.5157/NEPS:SC5:19.0.0) contains the newly added data from the nineteenth survey wave (also the 12th wave of the CATI/CAWI main survey) of the University Students Starting Cohort of the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS). The field period ranged from April 2022 to November 2022. The survey consisted of a telephone interview (CATI) on the life course and a directly subsequent online survey (CAWI) on various croos-sectional topics. Competence testing did not take place in this survey wave. For the teacher training oversample, an additional set of questions was implemented in the biographical interview for teacher training students and graduates. This additional question program was also used in the basic sample if the interviewees were student teachers, teacher graduates or currently employed teachers.

Detailed information about the content and the realization of this survey wave can be found in the corresponding Field Report on the website in the section „Documentation“. There you will also get the Data Manual as the first guide to get started working with the Scientific Use File as well as the Release Notes with information about relevant adjustments regarding the data preparation.
