Dataset form survey “Basic education pupils’ beliefs about the development of their moral character” (2022-2024, three measurements in two strata)

Abstract

This dataset was developed within the project “Effectiveness research of an online curriculum for virtue education in Latvian educational institutions (from grades 1 to 12)”, funded by the Latvian Council of Science grant No. lzp-2021/1-0385. This three-year longitudinal study (2022-2024) aimed to capture the dynamics of basic education pupils’ beliefs about the development of their moral character in Latvia. This dataset comprises data from three separate measurements across two strata: Strata 1 (Grade 5-7) and Strata 2 (Grade 7-9). Each measurement is stored in a separate spreadsheet, along with descriptions of the codes used in each measurement. In the 1st measurement (Spring 2022), 1465 pupils from 90 classes participated: 644 pupils from 39 classes in Grade 5 and 821 pupils from 51 classes in Grade 7. In the 2nd measurement (Spring 2023), 1000 pupils from 70 classes participated: 534 pupils from 33 classes in Grade 6 and 466 pupils from 37 classes in Grade 8. In the 3rd measurement (Spring 2024), 760 pupils from 55 classes participated: 338 pupils from 23 classes in Grade 7 and 422 pupils from 32 classes in Grade 9.
