This data set contains the replication data and supplements for the article "Knowing, Doing, and Feeling: A three-year, mixed-methods study of undergraduates’ information literacy development." The survey data is from two samples: <p> - cross-sectional sample (different students at the same point in time)</p><p> - longitudinal sample (the same students and different points in time)</p><p>Surveys were distributed via Qualtrics during the students' first and sixth semesters. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected and used to describe students' IL development over 3 years. Statistics from the quantitative data were analyzed in SPSS. The qualitative data was coded and analyzed thematically in NVivo. The qualitative, textual data is from semi-structured interviews with sixth-semester students in psychology at UiT, both focus groups and individual interviews. All data were collected as part of the contact author's PhD research on information literacy (IL) at UiT. </p><p>The following files are included in this data set: </p><p>1. A README file which explains the quantitative data files. (2 file formats: .txt, .pdf)</p><p>2. The consent form for participants (in Norwegian). (2 file formats: .txt, .pdf)</p><p>3. Six data files with survey results from UiT psychology undergraduate students for the cross-sectional (n=209) and longitudinal (n=56) samples, in 3 formats (.dat, .csv, .sav).

Nierenberg, Ellen

Survey data was collected at the start of the first semester and at the end of the sixth semester.

Respondents in this study were recruited from a mandatory academic writing course (PSY-0700) for all first-year undergraduate psychology students who began their studies at UiT The Arctic University of Norway during fall 2019. The were recruited via e-mail, Canvas, and in the classroom. Students were offered prizes for participation. The longitudinal group began in fall 2019 and were followed for 3 years, until spring 2022. The cross-sectional group also included data (only from assignment-based measures, not from the survey including TILT and TRIQ) from sixth-semester psychology students who completed their bachelor's degrees in 2020 and 2021.

The link to the Qualtrics survey was distributed to students in email and on Canvas.
