Abstract | In 2009 [...] the obstacles for admission to German universities were lowered. [...] This might lead to an increasing heterogeneity of the students' backgrounds and to a greater variety of strategies to manage and to come through university well. The present working paper tries to shed light on these strategies that we would like to refer to as 'student strategies'. [...] The basic assumption underlying this study is that for whom the organizational structure is transparent and who has a "habitus" [...] that fits the structural requirements of the organization, are more successful. Empirically this can be connected to the work by Maschke and Stecher [...] concerning student strategies at schools. [...] In this study the authors link back to this work [...] and expand it by using their measures in a university context. Even though school and university are structurally different, it is assumed in this paper that the organisational knowledge in both contexts - university and school-fulfils a similar function (specifically: "how will I be successful"). Hence, the first research question is whether it is possible to use the student strategy instruments in the context of university students. [...] The knowledge concerning success within an organisation can be understood as 'subjective theory' [...] about the functioning of the organisation. These subjective theories are at least partly explicable. Therefore, the second research question is how students with a specific strategic profile explain their strategies to come through university well. The stated research questions [call] for an embedded mixed methods design [...], the data collection, the data analyses procedures, the presentation and interpretation of the results are also carried out using the differentiation between the superordinate and subordinate inquiry. For this reason, the following the quantitative procedures and the qualitative procedures are described in separate subchapters. (Orig.). |
