• Some of the data collected in the survey will be used in subsequent sessions. The goal is to assess personal values to better understand your professional decision-making and to provide guidance for your future career path.
• The data may also be used for further research purposes within the project to investigate students’ perspectives and knowledge regarding career development.
• There will be short surveys of approximately 5-10 minutes at a total of five points during "Give Me Your Hand".
• Your participation is very important for the success of the study and will also contribute to your learning. However, participation is voluntary. There are no negative consequences if you choose not to participate.
• In addition to opinions and knowledge, personal and demographic information will also be collected (e-mail address, first and last name, gender, age, employment situation, socio-economic indicators, etc.).
• Your data will be anonymized to prevent the identification of individuals. Reports presented in presentations or research publications will be shown in aggregated form, which does not allow conclusions to be drawn about individuals. In the event that the collected data are published, they may be shared with other researchers in the interest of research transparency. Such data will be shared in a way that ensures individuals cannot be identified.
