Abstract

Prior research has suggested the value of and the need to provide consistent research data management (RDM) instruction specifically for graduate students. However, there is a lack of RDM instruction that is tailored for the social science disciplines. The effect of a four-hour, online RDM instruction intervention, designed based on the research data life cycle, on the RDM knowledge of graduate students in social science disciplines was investigated. A total of 84 students completed both pre/post knowledge assessments with 40 students randomly assigned into the intervention group receiving online instruction and 44 in the control group. A one-way ANCOVA was used for the data analysis. Results indicated that social science graduate students who received online RDM instruction had a significantly higher score in RDM knowledge than students in the control group. Moreover, the effect of the instruction on participants' RDM skills varied by their disciplines.

在线研究数据管理教学对社会科学研究生RDM技能的影响

先前的研究表明，为研究生提供一致的研究数据管理(RDM)指导的价值和必要性。然而，目前缺乏针对社会科学学科的RDM指导。研究了基于研究数据生命周期设计的四小时在线RDM教学干预对社科研究生RDM知识的影响。共有84名学生完成了前后知识评估，其中40名学生被随机分配到接受在线指导的干预组和44名对照组。采用单因素方差分析进行数据分析。结果表明，接受在线RDM指导的社科研究生RDM知识得分显著高于对照组学生。此外，指导对参与者RDM技能的影响因学科而异。
