Survey on Teacher Engagement with Evidence Media in Germany, 2024/2025

A longitudinal digital survey administered during the 2024/2025 school year among 137 in-service and 126 pre-service teachers in one German federal state. The dataset likely contains responses measuring familiarity, expectations, and use of eight teacher-oriented evidence media types. It was authored by Linda Schirle and published under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyze differences in media engagement between pre-service and in-service teachers based on the longitudinal design.
• Model the relationship between media familiarity and expectations of useful evidence based on survey dimensions.
• Study the association between engagement with academic media and teacher self-efficacy beliefs mentioned in the results.
• Compare teacher perspectives on sources of evidence across different professional experience levels.

Strengths

• Longitudinal design with repeated cross-sectional samples (in-service: n_t1=137, n_t3=111; pre-service: n_t1=126, n_t3=63).
• Focuses on three dimensions of engagement: familiarity, expectation of useful evidence, and use.
• Explicitly links survey dimensions to established barriers to evidence-informed teaching.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single German federal state.
