Contribution
In Germany as in any other modern society education is a key factor for individual life courses and chances as well as for economic growth. The National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) has been set up to gain more insights on the acquisition of education, to see how it impacts on individual biographies, and to describe and analyze major educational processes and trajectories across life span. Major questions the NEPS is designed to address are:
How do competencies develop over the life course? Whether and how do competencies influence decision-making processes at critical transitions during an educational career? How and how far are competencies influenced by the opportunities to learn in the family or in the peer group? How are they influenced by the structure of teaching and learning processes in Kindergarten, school, university, vocational training, and further training? A consortium of researchers supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research in Germany (BMBF) has gathered under the leadership of Prof. Blossfeld to pursue these goals in a longitudinal survey. In order to be able answering questions like these in a relatively short time period there are eight cohorts (multicohort-sequence design) within the NEPS (Berendes et al., in press; Blossfeld, von Maurice, Schneider 2009,; Fey et al., in press).
