Sisällön kuvaus

The study charted the studies, satisfaction, motivation, well-being, values, and circumstances of students in higher education institutions in Finland.

The respondents were first asked general questions about their studies, such as when they expected to graduate and which reasons had potentially slowed studies down. Relating to study progress and skills, questions were asked about study motivation, difficulties with studies, and support received. Values and attitudes were surveyed with questions about, for instance, economic growth, income equality, Finland's EU membership, election activity, and trust in people.

Health and social well-being of the respondents was examined. Questions presented charted, among others, relationships to other people and loneliness, experiences of bullying or discrimination, participation in the activities of student organisations, exercise habits, health problems affecting studies, stress, and alcohol consumption. Concerning financial circumstances and housing situation, the respondents were asked about their form of accommodation, monthly income and expenses, satisfaction with living conditions, and plans to withdraw financial aid.

Finally, relating to employment, the respondents were asked how much they worked per week during studies and in summer, which field their worked in, whether experience gained from the work would be beneficial for future employment, whether working during studies affected their study progress, whether their job was commensurate to their education etc. Future expectations relating to work after graduation were surveyed.

Background variables included, among others, the respondent's year of birth, gender, and household composition as well as year when started studies, study breaks and reasons for them, and mother's and father's education.

Cross-section

Otantamenetelmä

Probability: Stratified

A sample was randomly drawn from the student registers of universities and universities of applied sciences, thus forming two strata: university students (4,092) and students in universities of applied sciences (polytechnics) (2,099).

Three weeks after the start of the survey a total of 1,000 non-respondents in the original sample were re-selected; 500 students were randomly sampled and 500 were selected by using a response propensity model. These non-respondents were sent the questionnaire by mail.

In total, 1,580 university students and 657 polytechnic students responded to the survey.

Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

The sample is missing the following universities: National Defence University and the Academy of Arts. The sample is also missing the following universities of applied sciences: Police University College, Mikkeli University of Applied Sciences, Satakunta University of Applied Sciences, Tampere University of Applied Sciences and Kymenlaakso University of Applied Sciences. The sample is thus less representative of universities of applied sciences than universities.

Responses of the respondents who did not fully complete the questionnaire are also included in the dataset. In the report based on the study, such incomplete responses have been omitted, which is why the frequency distributions in the data differ from those in the report.

Variable bv3 indicates the year when a respondent had started his/her studies. The data in this variable has been corrected by comparing the year provided by the respondent to the year in the register data, and if there was a discrepancy between the two values, the value provided by the respondent was retained.

In the internet survey, variables q16, q18, q19_1, q19_2, q19_3, q22, q23, q24, q38, and q54 have a ten-point response scale, but the same variables in the postal survey have a different response scale. The responses given in these variables by respondents who were sent the reminder questionnaire by mail have been removed from the archived data (n=91).

Painokertoimet

There is a weight variable weight_f in the data. It was created to correct both for the differences in inclusion probability between institutions caused by the sampling procedure and the skewness caused by non-response. The weighting for the non-response is based on a logistic regression model so that it predicts the propensity to respond to the survey based on the available background attributes. In the data, students with a low response propensity represent a larger number of students in the population than those with a higher propensity. The weight is based on the following distributions: age, gender, educational institution, field of study, number of credits earned, level of degree (Bachelor's or Master's) and the year when started studies.
