Finnish AECED Data: Aesthetic and Embodied Learning for Democracy in Higher Education and Professional Learning

The dataset was gathered as part of the AECED project (Transforming Education for Democracy through Aesthetic and Embodied Learning, Responsive Pedagogies and Democracy-as-becoming), whose purpose was to explore ways in which aesthetic and embodied methods could advance democratic ways of learning. The purpose of the data collection was to gather experiences of using the AELD (Aesthetic and Embodied Learning for Democracy) Prototype Pedagogical Framework and Guides for higher education and Adult, Professional and Organisational learning that were created at the beginning of the AECED project, and which were then further developed based on the gathered data. The Professional learning data was gathered by taking notes and partly by recording group discussions from the workshops and mentoring sessions arranged for Higher education teachers and Finnish Dance and Movement Therapists and from researchers’ reflective discussions. The data from trials in Higher education was gathered by interviewing participant educators, by taking notes and gathering students’ learning diaries from the trials project’s researchers did themselves. In addition, some pictures, drawings and filled templates were gathered from the workshops. While gathering the data, there was a special attention to embodied responses (body movements, emotions, sensations) and their relation to democratic relating in educational contexts. Data was pseudonymized by giving each participant a number (e.g. teacher 5; student 8) or referred to in the publications as “one of the participants in…[specification of the course or workshop].

本数据集采集自AECED项目——其全称为"通过审美与具身学习、响应式教学法及生成式民主（Democracy-as-becoming）推进民主教育"，该项目旨在探索通过审美与具身教学法推进民主式学习的可行路径。本次数据采集的核心目标为收集针对民主审美与具身学习（Aesthetic and Embodied Learning for Democracy，简称AELD）教学原型框架及指南的使用体验，该框架与指南面向高等教育、成人职业与组织学习场景，于AECED项目启动初期编制完成，并依托本次采集的数据完成后续迭代优化。职业学习相关数据通过以下方式采集：针对面向高等教育教师、芬兰舞蹈与运动治疗师开展的工作坊及督导研讨活动，通过现场记录与部分小组讨论录音完成数据留存；同时采集研究者的反思性讨论内容。高等教育试点相关数据的采集方式包括：对参与试点的教育工作者开展访谈，以及由项目研究人员在自行开展的试点活动中记录现场笔记、收集学生学习日志。此外，研究团队还从各工作坊中收集了部分摄影作品、手绘草图与已填写完成的模板材料。数据采集过程中，研究团队特别关注具身反应（肢体动作、情绪感受与躯体体验）及其与教育场景中民主互动的关联。所有数据均已完成匿名化处理：为每位参与者分配专属编号（例如教师5、学生8）；在公开发表的成果中，参与者也会被表述为"某课程或工作坊的参与者之一……[具体课程/工作坊说明]"。
