To ensure that the selected test content could be interpreted as relevant, preliminary studies were realized by using document analysis (including curricula, teaching materials, and regulations), interviews with experts, and workplace observations (see Winther et al. 2016b).
Therefore, authentic problem scenarios on the basis of extensive domain analyses (curricula analysis, textbook analysis, interview and diary studies, etc.; Eigenmann et al. 2015) were developed.
Findings from our constructivist analysis of course curricula demonstrate the value of formal partnerships between academic libraries/librarians and undergraduate research training programs/administrators on college and university campuses.
Curricula analysis (school, company) ✓ 4.
An analysis of the curricula for these data science programs also suggests cause for concern.
As noted above, we selected anchor tasks for the think-alouds that the apprentices could perform in their first year, based on curricula analysis and expert interviews.
The curricula analysis, expert interviews, think-alouds with the apprentices, and piloting with the apprentices revealed commonalities shared by the German and Swiss constructs.
Then, the methodological procedures for and findings from curricula analysis, expert interviews, think-alouds with apprentices, and a measurement pilot study are presented.
Although minor adaptations of the computer-based test were expected, construct equivalence should nevertheless be ascertained with the aid of a detailed curricula analysis.
Although there are overlaps in German and Swiss job requirements, the curricula analysis revealed important deviations between the constructs of 'commercial competence' in Germany and Switzerland.
