We’ve created four teaching ideas to start
Posted: Sun Feb 09, 2025 3:27 am
Gender differences in sexual attitudes using the National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles
Risk factors associated with increased levels of systolic blood pressure using the Health Survey for England
The gender gap in life satisfaction using the Opinions and Lifestyle Survey
Public confidence in the taiwan rcs data police using the Crime Survey for England and Wales
As finding suitable interval level variables can be particularly challenging, we have tried to include ideas for teaching correlation and regression. We have also developed a teaching idea using one of our open access teaching datasets (The gender gap in life satisfaction which uses the Opinions and Lifestyle Survey). Unlike most of survey data we hold, these teaching datasets can be accessed and shared without needing to register with the UK Data Service; their size (around 14-50 variables) also makes them easy to use.
We have also provided commands for the exercises (in SPSS) via the UK Data Service’s Syntax Upload Facility. Launched earlier this year, the Syntax Upload Facility enables researchers to upload and share syntax. Though it’s still early days, a library of syntax for researchers to utilise (and cite) has not only obvious benefits for research but also for teaching too. It can be used to share code/commands for data analysis exercises but could also be used to share the code behind the construction of teaching datasets.
