| Popis: | The Pretest lab of GESIS Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences (Germany) was assigned the task to conduct a cognitive online pretest of the special module on ICT at work, working conditions and learning digital skills by the European Commission. The main goals of this pretest were to support DG CONNECT in the context of developing a special module to feature in the 2018 EU survey on ICT usage in households and by individuals, help ensure robustness of the methodological approach and thus validity of potential responses, and to help to improve the formulation of questionnaire items to ensure an unambiguous understanding thereof. GESIS tested a German and an English version of the module with German and British respondents (n=145, all employees or self-employed) in a web survey. In total, respondents received probes for 15 items. Some of the items do not need to be changed but the results indicate for several questions that the question wording, the answer values, or the German translations need to be improved. The pretest report includes recommendation to further refine the questions of the special module. GESIS Projektbericht Web Quota sample. This online-pretest was fielded in Great Britain and Germany. Half of the respondents were British (n=75), the other half were German (n=70). Due to the substantive topic of this pretest (ICT usage at work), the target population was employees and self-employed respondents. The selection of the target population was based on the quotas age (18 to 65 years in three groups: 18 – 30; 31 – 50; 51 – 65), gender (male; female), and education (lower; higher education). In addition, a minimum of 20 percent of respondents in each country was expected to be self-employed. |
