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.

该调研由坦佩雷大学（University of Tampere）于2011年针对其五年级学生开展，旨在考察学生的学业进展、在读期间的兼职工作情况、学业规划，以及毕业后的人生规划。调研首先通过询问受访者以下信息来梳理学业基本情况：他们申请时最希望被录取的教育机构与研究领域、就读方式为全日制还是非全日制，以及他们对若干与学业及学业进展相关表述的认同程度，例如「大学学业符合我的预期」「我的学业进度契合既定规划」。学业规划维度的调研则围绕两方面展开：一是学生在规划学业时获得的校方支持情况，二是学生自主搜寻规划相关信息的主动性。此外，调研还统计了对学业进展产生负面影响的各类因素。针对大学教育在职业生活中的相关性，调研通过两类问题展开：一是呈现若干相关表述请受访者评价认同度，例如「教育塑造了我的职业身份认同」「我相信雇主会认可我所在研究领域的学历资质」；二是询问受访者认为大学学业在多大程度上提升了其各项技能，如沟通能力、项目执行能力。在就业相关议题中，受访者被要求对若干关于在读期间工作的表述给出认同程度，例如「我工作是为了避免申请学生贷款」「工作占用了学业所需的时间」「我不工作是为了尽快毕业」。关于未来展望的调研内容包括：受访者是否计划在毕业后继续深造、毕业后及职业生涯早期的目标职业方向、他们认为各类因素对其就业的影响程度（如学业表现、工作经验、国际交流经历），以及对未来的信心水平。调研收集的背景变量涵盖受访者年龄、性别、研究领域、所属学院、已修学分，以及海外实习/留学时长等。
