Data Sheet 1_Developing social and emotional competence in higher vocational education: ef

Quantitative data from a randomized controlled trial assessing the effects of a six-session socioemotional competence intervention on students in Chinese Higher Vocational Education programs. The dataset includes pre-test, post-test, and 4-month follow-up measurements for employability and perceptions of Decent Work Standards. It was authored by Tongxin Zhang and last updated on 2026-05-29.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the longitudinal impact of educational interventions based on pre/post/follow-up data.
• Studying the relationship between socioemotional competence and employability perceptions based on the described outcomes.
• Investigating how vocational education students' expectations of decent work change over time based on the Decent Work Standards measurements.
• Comparing intervention and control group outcomes in experimental educational research based on the randomized controlled design.

Strengths

• Data was collected using a randomized controlled experimental design, which suggests a strong methodological foundation.
• Includes longitudinal data from three time points (pre-test, post-test, and 4-month follow-up).
• Effect sizes for the intervention are reported, ranging from moderate-to-large (η² 0.09 to 0.19).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (253.7 KB), indicating limited scope.
