Welcome to the QUICS project!

As part of our QUICS project (Qualitative Content Analysis of Corona Surveys for Students), the numerous contributions from students in the surveys on studying under corona conditions at Paderborn University were systematically analysed.

The surveys were conducted by the entire "Psychological Diagnostics and Support with a Focus on Inclusive Education" group under the direction of Prof. Dr. Katrin B. Klingsieck and Dr Justine Patrzek(Cognitive Psychology) in the summer semester 2020, winter semester 20/21 and summer semester 2021 as online surveys among Paderborn University students and included numerous questions on various fields of study: stress during the corona pandemic and the design of and satisfaction with teaching. In addition to closed response formats, open questions were also used in order to obtain as comprehensive a picture as possible of the situation of students at Paderborn University during the coronavirus semester. The answers to these open questions were evaluated and analysed as part of QUICS. The analysis is based on a total of 2,005 data sets.

Based on the qualitative content analysis according to Philipp A. E. Mayring (2010), a category system was first developed deductively on the basis of the open questions, tested on the material and then made available to a total of seven Bachelor's and Master's students, who analysed the material as part of their final theses using the category system and at the same time developed it further inductively.

On this page, we would like to present the results of QUICS to you.
