New materials from the UK Data Service for teachers, students and learners
Rihab DahabRihab Dahab, member of the User Support and Training team for the UK Data Service, introduces new teaching and learning resources that have been developed for the British Social Attitudes survey (BSA).
The BSA is a key survey of public attitudes and iran rcs data opinions in Britain. It tracks changes in the public’s attitudes, values, and beliefs on a wide range of social and political issues over time. The survey is a great resource for teaching, in a dissertation, or for research.
The BSA is particularly useful for teaching and learning as it has various topics that interest both students and researchers. Also, its relatively simple design makes it easy for survey data beginners to use and understand. Additionally, the BSA documentation is clear and easy to follow.
The UK Data Service has recently created three new ways to use the BSA data for teaching and learning including a new open access teaching dataset, a quick start guide to the survey for dissertation students (among others!), and a new online learning module introducing the survey and how to use the data.
