Earlier papers have found considerable heterogeneity in the returns to degrees in relation to subjects of study, degree classification and higher education institution. In this paper we examine heterogeneity of returns across British regions using the Labour Force Survey. We find substantial...

Es gibt keine einheitliche Praxis hinsichtlich der methodischen Konzeption und des Zeitpunkts der Datenerhebung bei studentischen Lehrveranstaltungsevaluationen. Um den Einfluss solcher Aspekte zu untersuchen, wurden in 18 Wirtschaftsvorlesungen der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität Münster...

In dieser Studie werden 128 Fälle betrachtet, in denen dieselben Studenten eine Vorlesung zu zwei verschiedenen Zeitpunkten evaluiert haben. Die Besonderheit dabei ist, dass ausschließlich Fälle berücksichtigt werden, in denen die zum Zeitpunkt der Evaluation erwartete oder bereits erhaltene...

Bereits 2002 wurden bei einer BWL-Klausur zwei PISA-Aufgaben gestellt und die Rechtschreibung überprüft, was wiederum mit den Noten bzw. Punkten der Klausur korreliert wurde. Es gibt interessante Ergebnisse und Zusammenhänge, die jedoch nicht völlig eindeutig sind.

Online teaching and online learning have been studied for many years with focus on both the inputs and outputs, but seldom on outcomes such as the well-being of the students and/or teachers. Therefore, we already know that good outputs in forms of grades are strongly correlated with a clear and...

An explanation of the Dunning-Kruger effect is provided which does not require any psychological explanation, because it is derived as a statistical artefact. This is achieved by specifying a simple statistical model which explicitly takes the (random) boundary constraints into account. This...

Financial literacy is very important for social participation. This paper presents an empirical evaluation of the determinants of financial literacy among students at a German university. An additional goal is the identification of gender differences in respect to financial literacy. The...

Student achievements are expected to be affected by both educational activities and learning during a course and previous teaching and learning, and earlier eligibility requirements. Using data from a quasi-experimental retrospective study, we estimated the effect on exam scores in an...

This theoretical review explores the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on teaching and learning in the digital age. Investigating AI's integration into educational settings, the paper synthesises theoretical frameworks, empirical studies, and emerging trends. Drawing on...
