FEDORA. Data from teaching module implementations in Finland

The dataset contains data collected in two-round implementations of new experimental teaching-learning course “My city of the future”,  with Finnish secondary school students, that are analysed to capture the main trends in the data regarding the established framework, with specific focus on effects on the course module on students, and the capacity of the module to address higher-level standards of future-oriented science education. Specifically, the dataset includes: (i) answers to questionnaires, (ii)  transcripts of interviews (iii)  materials created by students (in Finnish), (iv) processed versions of aforementioned data such as coded interview transcripts or numeric data on code frequencies, and (v) results from the analysis of this data using thematic, discourse and phenomenographic qualitative methods. An aggregated version of student’s backgrounds (e.g. gender ratios) are also provided.
