all items were again calculated using multilevel models as it was done
before.
The results are shown in Table 6, Table 7 and Table 8. These results
were displayed as confidence intervals (1 – a = 95 %) in Figure 4,
Figure 5 and Figure 6.
COMPARING GRADUATES WITH EMPLOYERS
Importance ratings for Graduates and Employers were compared
using again multilevel modelling adding a parameter to the model
accounting for the difference between both groups. Thirteen items
showed a significant difference (a < 0,05). The highest difference
corresponds to Ethical commitment with Employers rating this item
higher than graduates. It is interesting to note that employers rate
Ability to work in an interdisciplinary team significantly higher than
graduates while in the case of Ability to work autonomously the case is
just the opposite graduates rating this item higher than employers.
These results are shown in Table 9.
