“The dataset provides information on the consequences of the Covid 19 pandemic for 18 countries from Asia, Europe and South America, which makes the dataset very suitable for demonstrating the challenges and opportunities of cross-cultural and cross-country comparative research. In addition to intriguing content-related questions about changes in values and attitudes in times of crisis, the methodological challenges of harmonising or weighting such a data set can also be addressed in a seminar, using the method report. Thus, the data can be used in very different teaching formats - for example, in teaching units for data visualisation and presentation forms, for which the large number of countries is helpful. However, the data set is also suitable for simple analyses to make students become accustomed to larger data sets. Finally, it can also be used for courses in which participants are to develop questions independently.”

"The Social Survey Austria as one of the central survey programmes for the analysis of socio-structural changes is indispensable for teaching. It is a good example of the development of survey research in Austria, where a nationwide consortium carries and further develops the survey. Therefore, all students in Austria with in-depth quantitative training should have worked with this data set. Because of its link to the International Social Survey Programme, the special surveys on migrants and the fact that earlier waves go back to 1986, the SSÖ can be used in a variety of ways in teaching. Using the different survey waves, students can practise simple descriptive statistical analyses in order to make social change easily tangible in the data. At the same time, the rigorous methodology in the implementation also enables complex analyses and can thus also be used for final theses."

"This particular dataset, collected as part of the European Values Study (EVS), is well suited for social pedagogy studies, because it focuses on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Austrian population, and particularly on the young population (oversampling).”

"This dataset is particularly suitable for social pedagogy as it focuses on the central issue of the transition from school to work in the Austrian context. In addition to the specific data on education, job search and work, the dataset also contains all other data included in the Microcensus that were collected from the 15-34 year old respondents."

"This dataset was created as part of a teaching research internship and was awarded the Ars Docendi in 2020."
