Abstract
This dataset illustrates an approach to conducting ego-net analysis in education. The data are provided by Dr. Christoforos Mamas, Ms. Giovanna Shaelli, and Dr. Alan J. Daly, from the Department of Education, University of California San Diego and the Institute of Education, University of Zurich. The data are taken from the 3-year Inclusive Education Project, funded by the European Commission, which started in 2015 and aimed to explore the social networks of students in mainstream schools, with an emphasis on those with identified special educational needs and disabilities. The example will be most useful for qualitative researchers interested in understanding the ego networks of students. This dataset file is accompanied by a Teaching Guide and a Student Guide.
