Welcome to Participate in a Survey on Learning Support for University of Applied Sciences Students
You are warmly invited to take part in a study investigating learning support for University of Applied Sciences (UAS) students from the perspective of a UAS student. The study is carried out by the University of Eastern Finland, the University of Lapland and the Rehabilitation Foundation.
Your participation is completely voluntary. The aim of this study is to generate new knowledge about learning support in UASs. Your responses will help us understand practices and perceptions related to learning support and contribute to the development of UAS teaching and support systems. This is the first time the topic is being examined this extensively in Finnish higher education, making your input particularly valuable.
The data will be collected using an anonymous questionnaire, which does not gather any direct personal information. All responses will be handled with strict confidentiality. Results will be reported at the group level, ensuring that individual respondents cannot be identified. If the dataset is sufficiently large, data from the questionnaire’s statement section may be shared with participating UASs and the National Union of Students in Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences (SAMOK). In such cases, all indirect identifiers will be removed. A detailed description of the study is provided in the attached research information sheet, which also includes a statement on the processing of personal data.
