Location & approach

By car

The most convenient highway exits are on the B 1/A 40 (Dortmund-Barop) (closer to the North Campus) and on the A45 (Dortmund-Eichlinghofen). The university is signposted at both exits. In the local road network you will find signs to Campus Nord, where the Campus Treff is also located. From Emil-Figge-Strasse, entrance no. 18 and from Vogelspothsweg entrance no. 23 lead to parking spaces near the venue.

By train

From Dortmund main station, take the S-Bahn "S1" in the direction of Solingen on track 7 to the stop "Dortmund-Universität" (price level A). The S-Bahn runs every 15 minutes during peak hours on weekdays and takes about 6 minutes. From Düsseldorf, the S-Bahn runs every 30 minutes. Directly at the S-Bahn station you will find the CDI building, which houses the Center for Research on Education and School Development.

The H-Bahn

One of the university's landmarks is the H-Bahn, which has two terminuses on the North Campus. One is located directly above the S-Bahn station and is easily accessible from it by elevators. The other is located in the center of Campus North at the bridge between the University Library and the Mensa, right next to the Audimax. The H-Bahn runs from here to the South Campus and the Eichlinghofen district.

By plane

Dortmund has an airport connected with some destinations in Central Europe. There are regular flights, for example, to Amsterdam, Berlin, Dresden, Katowice, Krakow, Leipzig-Halle, London, Munich, Nuremberg, Paris, Poznan, Stuttgart, Vienna and Zurich. For the approximately 20 kilometers from the Dortmund airport to the campus, you can take the bus to the main train station and from there the S-Bahn. Faster is usually the use of a cab. Far more international flight connections are offered by the Rhine-Ruhr Airport in Düsseldorf, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university station.

Project duration 01.01.2022 - 31.12.2024

Career orientation competence in longitudinal section

The aim of BOKIL is to investigate the genesis of career aspirations as well as later training, study and career choices, taking into account various facets of career orientation competence and their individual, family and school conditioning factors. The focus is on students from eighth to tenth grades at general secondary schools.

Funding

Own funds Professor McElvany

Project description

Preparation for working life is an ongoing and central task of schools. Career choice is becoming increasingly complex and therefore requires certain competencies from adolescents in order to orient themselves in the occupational fields and make suitable decisions for themselves. Thus, it is important to research the career orientation processes of adolescents and young adults.

With the help of multiple surveys in lower secondary schools in North Rhine-Westphalia, the project examines the question of how students' career orientation competence develops over time. In addition, the project looks into facilitating and inhibiting factors for the status and development of career orientation competence that can be identified and whether mean differences between relevant student subgroups (e.g., girls and boys; students with and without a migration background; students from more and from less privileged families) can be found. In order to depict a comprehensive view of this complex topic, a multi-perspective approach has been chosen. In addition to repeated surveys and tests of students from grades 8 to 10 at general secondary schools, interviews with parents and teachers are conducted as well.
