Study Description | The study aims at describing and analyzing the development of professional knowledge networks in psychology and computer science students (first to fourth semester). The study primarily focuses processes of restructuring knowledge (conceptual change) following the transition from secondary education (school) to tertiary education (university). Three domains of knowledge are investigated: (1) domain-specific knowledge, (2) information literacy, and (3) epistemic beliefs.
The study employs a quantitative four-wave longitudinal design. To gain empirical data on knowledge development, both psychology (N = 137 at the first wave) and computer science students (N = 89 at the first wave) were investigated by means of standardized tests. The first wave took part right at the beginning of students’ first semester, followed by three consecutive waves at the beginning of the second, third, and fourth semesters. Additionally, data on several covariates likely to influence knowledge development (e. g., cognitive ability, academic self-concept, learning and achievement motivation) were collected. |

Original Records | Person-related data files from computerized surveying (Unipark and Inquisit software) and paper-pencil (Raven's and APM intelligence test) |
Transformation | Data from the online survey software Unipark were transferred to a data matrix automatically. For data from the Inquisit software measuring working memory capacity a standardized syntax was used - the corresponding variables are not part of the provided data set. Paper-pencil data were coded and then transferred into a machine-readable form. |
