University of Tampere Survey for Fifth-year Students 2011

The survey, conducted by the University of Tampere for its fifth-year students in 2011, examines progress with studies, working during studies, planning of studies, and plans after graduation. Studies were first charted by asking the respondents which educational institution and field of study they had primarily wanted to be accepted into when they had applied, whether they studied part time or full time, and to what extent they agreed with a number of statements relating to studies and study progress (e.g. "University studies have met my expectations", "I have progressed in my studies according to my plans"). Planning of studies was examined with questions about support received from the university when planning studies and own initiative in searching for information supporting planning. Things that had negatively affected the progress of studies were charted. Views on the relevance of university education in occupational life were charted by presenting a number of statements (e.g. "Education has developed my occupational identity", "I believe that having an education in my field will be appreciated among employers"), and by asking how much university studies had improved their skills (e.g. communication skills, project skills). Relating to employment, the respondents were asked to what extent they agreed with statements about working during studies (e.g. "I work because I want to avoid taking a student loan", "Working takes up time needed for studies", "I don't work because I want to graduate as soon as possible"). Views on the future were surveyed by asking the respondents whether they were going to continue studies after graduation, which line of work they aimed at after graduation and later in their career, to what extent they thought various things would affect their employment (e.g. performance in studies, work experience, international experience), and how confident they were about the future. Background variables included, among others, the respondent's age, gender, field of study, school (faculty), number of credits, and length of internship/studies abroad.

该调查由坦佩雷大学于2011年针对其五年级学生进行，旨在考察学生在学业上的进展、学习期间的工作情况、学业规划以及毕业后的计划。调查首先通过询问受访者他们在申请时最希望被录取的教育机构和研究领域，他们是否为兼职或全职学习，以及他们对一系列与学业和学业进展相关的陈述（例如：“大学学业满足了我的期望”，“我根据我的计划在学业上取得了进步”）的认同程度来绘制学业蓝图。通过对大学在学习规划过程中提供的支持以及自身在寻找支持规划信息方面的主动性的问题，对学业规划进行了考察。通过呈现一系列陈述（例如：“教育发展了我的职业身份”，“我相信在我所学的领域拥有教育背景将在雇主中受到青睐”）并询问大学学业在提高他们的技能（例如沟通技能、项目技能）方面有多大改善，绘制了关于大学教育在职业生活中的相关性的观点。关于就业，受访者被问及他们对在学习期间工作的陈述的认同程度（例如：“我工作是因为我想避免学生贷款”，“工作占用了学习所需的时间”，“我不工作是因为我想尽快毕业”）。通过对受访者进行未来展望的调查，询问他们是否会在毕业后继续学业，他们毕业后和职业生涯中追求的职业路线，他们认为哪些因素会对他们的就业产生影响（例如学业成绩、工作经验、国际经验），以及他们对未来的信心程度。背景变量包括受访者的年龄、性别、研究领域、学校（学院）、学分数量以及海外实习/学习的时间长度等。
