| Description of the Dataset | The school contributions dataset for the U.S. Embassy School Elections Project is a comprehensive and meticulously curated collection of student projects and election predictions spanning three distinct school years: 2012/13, 2016/17 and 2020/21. This dataset encapsulates the creative endeavors of students who have actively participated in the U.S. Embassy School Elections Project, showcasing their innovative ideas and election predictions through various mediums. The dataset comprises more than 300 individual contributions, representing a diverse array of formats, including texts, posters, images, songs, movies, videos, padlets (in both JPEG and PDF formats), powerpoint presentations and other. Each contribution is accompanied by an abstract text, providing a concise yet informative summary that contextualizes the prediction and highlights its key elements. The dataset can be utilized to conduct in-depth analyses, extracting insights on content themes, sentiment analysis and the like, thereby deepening their understanding of students' perspectives and their evolving responses to U.S. Elections and politics over time. This collection of student-generated content facilitates an exploration of the dynamic interplay between teaching and learning English as a foreign language, creativity, intercultural competence and civic engagement, thereby contributing to a broader understanding of student involvement and learning within the context of Content and Language Integrated Learning. |

| Research Design | In 2012, 2016, and 2020 the U.S. Embassy together with Leuphana University Lüneburg, Life e.V. / eXplorarium and Landesinstitut für Schule und Medien (LISUM) Berlin-Brandenburg organized a school project on the U.S. Presidential Election. This project is an intercultural blended learning program promoting democratic engagement and civil discourse in the context of the U.S. presidential campaign. The goal is to provide participants with information and analytical tools to predict and evaluate the election outcome of an adopted state. Teachers and students research and understand competing viewpoints and political arguments. About 2,000 participants in 2012 and more than 3,000 in 2016 adopted a U.S. state and learned about local politics, economics and culture. After becoming experts on their new "homes" and the U.S. election system, students made a prediction on the U.S. voters' choice on Election Day. Prior to the actual school phase of the project, many of these students' teachers participated in seminars organized by the U.S. Embassy and U.S. Consulates throughout Germany. American experts briefed the teachers on the U.S. election processes, issues, candidates, campaigns and the role of the media. Further trainings were offered introducing teachers to the effective use of online learning tools in their classrooms. An interactive mock election took place at the concluding events at Friedrich Ebert Stiftung in Berlin one day before Election Day. Student delegates cast their votes on behalf of their adopted U.S. states. |
