Changemakers as digital makers: connecting and co-creating

The data is drawn from the survey responses of 63 out of 85 university students participating in both projects during the 2020-2021 academic year. TalkTech students were enrolled in universities in the United States and Romania, while DLAB students attended universities in Spain, Belgium, Norway, Denmark and England. Their ages range from 18 to 35. The overall sample is purposive in that students were selected to participate in the projects due to their interest and expertise in digital technologies and changemaking. The 23 students who did not undertake the survey chose not to do so. Ethical approval was granted by all participating university ethics committees. the students in the DLAB project were studying initial teacher education in their respective universities, the Talk Tech project involved students on a Digital entrepreneurship module. .
The two projects came together in their evaluative stages to explore how university students’ cultural competencies and changemaker identities might be facilitated by technologies across the two disciplines of education and entrepreneurship. Data is elicited from a reflective questionnaire administered at the end of a project year.

The two documents demonstrate both the raw data and the data that has been analysed through open coding to identify common features and themes. There are essentially two separate sets of data, one that discusses the technological skills developed through participation in the project that focusses upon the type and usage of technology the second data has the narrative answers relating to skills and attributes developed over the time of the study.

本数据集源自2020-2021学年参与两项研究项目的85名大学生中63名的调研问卷回复。其中，TalkTech项目的受访学生就读于美国与罗马尼亚的高等院校，DLAB项目的参与者则来自西班牙、比利时、挪威、丹麦及英国的高校。受访学生的年龄区间为18至35岁。本次抽样为目的性抽样（purposive sampling）：参与者因对数字技术及变革实践具备兴趣与专业能力而获选参与本项目。未参与本次调研的23名学生均主动选择退出作答。所有参与院校的伦理审查委员会均已批准本研究的伦理方案。DLAB项目的学生均在各自院校修读初级教师教育（initial teacher education）专业，TalkTech项目则面向修读数字创业模块（digital entrepreneurship module）的学生开展。两项项目在评估阶段联合开展研究，旨在探索在教育与创业这两个学科领域中，技术如何助力大学生培育文化胜任力（cultural competencies）与变革者身份（changemaker identities）。本研究数据通过项目周期末发放的反思性问卷（reflective questionnaire）收集获得。本次公开的两份文档同时呈现原始调研数据与经开放式编码（open coding）分析得到的已处理数据，后者通过编码识别共性特征与核心研究主题。本数据集本质上包含两套独立数据：第一套围绕项目参与过程中习得的技术技能展开，聚焦技术的类型与使用情况；第二套则收录研究周期内参与者所形成的技能与特质相关的叙事性作答内容。
