Taking part in the study

Are you a teacher in adult and continuing education? Then you work in the largest education sector in Germany, contributing to enabling lifelong learning.

But did you know that little is known about your situation as an employee in the training sector? In light of the corona pandemic, the structures in adult and continuing education have also changed considerably. New course formats and human resource management becomes more significant.

With TAEPS, we want to gain a better understanding of your situation in adult and continuing education to use the research to effectively improve existing structures. No matter if you call yourself a coach, lecturer, course leader, trainer, teacher or speaker. Whether you teach yoga or a programming language, work 2 or 20 hours a week, are employed or self-employed we would encourage you to participate in the survey and contribute to improving continuing education in Germany.

Study Procedure

Surveys conducted as part of the TAEPS study are initially targeted at all participants who have already been surveyed and have agreed to further contact. At the beginning of a new survey wave, you will receive an invitation to the next online survey. Until then, there is nothing further you need to do.

Online Survey, Part 1: Answering the questions in Part 1 takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes on average.
Online Survey, Part 2: After completing the first online survey, you will receive an email with the link to the second part of the survey. You can complete this immediately afterward or at a later time. The second part takes approximately 30 to 40 minutes on average.

For your participation in the online survey, you will receive a total compensation of 30 euros for your effort. You will receive 10 euros after completing the first part of the online survey, and the remaining 20 euros after finishing the second part.

Only if as many teachers as possible continue to participate in the study can a comprehensive and detailed picture of the largest education sector in Germany be created. The information provided by each individual is very valuable for this purpose.
Overall, we aim to survey several thousand teachers to obtain the most accurate picture possible.

Information about publications of results generated within the framework of this study will be provided here.
