Supplementary data for study: Understanding the Relation Between Study Behaviors and Educational Design (Study 1)

It has been identified that the first-year experience is crucial to student motivation and throughput of study programs, therefore it is interesting to look at the state of the art of computer science study programs in Norway. This data is part of a PhD project and relates to Study 1. In this study we present a survey and study of the number of undergraduate computer science programs in Norway and map their characteristics in order to gather an up to date overview of the selection of programs. Through a systematic review of all Norwegian undergraduate programs using data from national databases we have found that there are 12 institutions offering 56 different programs in Norway in 2018. The study showed that the characteristics of these programs vary, that is, the amount of computer science courses during the first year, the number of students, admission requirements, student satisfaction and time commitment. This article presents these findings along with an analysis of what characteristics impact the students’ contentment and learning experience.

已有研究证实，大学第一年的学习体验对学生的学习动机与学业项目完成率至关重要，因此探究挪威计算机科学本科项目的发展现状具有重要研究意义。本数据集隶属于一项博士研究项目，对应其中的第一项研究。在本研究中，我们针对挪威计算机科学本科项目的数量开展系统性调研，并梳理其各项特征，以期全面掌握当前各类项目的整体概况。通过利用国家数据库的相关数据对挪威所有本科项目开展系统性梳理，我们发现2018年挪威共有12所高校开设了56个不同的计算机科学本科项目。研究显示，上述项目的各项特征存在显著差异，具体涵盖第一年计算机科学课程体量、在读学生规模、入学要求、学生满意度以及学业投入时长等维度。本文将呈现上述调研结果，并分析哪些项目特征会对学生的满意度与学习体验产生影响。
