FEDORA. Excerpts from essays, transcript of interviews and group discussions on students' future perception. Part 3: Interviews, Finland.

Finnish-language dataset. Related to a research article that is awaiting acceptance for publication: Future, technology and agency: Students’ experiences from a course on futures thinking and quantum computing.

As per ethical concerns and participants' consent, the dataset is given in a fully anonymised form. Instead of students' interviews (the context of which is given in the article). In a nutshell, 21 upper-secondary school students were interviewed in 2018 regarding their experiences on taking an experimental science course that combined ideas from futures thinking and quantum computing. The present dataset contains all 245 transcribed passages from 21 student interviews that were initially marked as relevant to the research goals (i.e. how students saw their conceptions change over the course). Additionally, for each passage the final coding that was used in the analysis for the research paper is shown. The "number-letter codes" were used as shorthands; the full names of the codes correspond closely with the final, English-language codes in the paper.

To preserve full anonymity, students are not identified by any marker or pseudonym here; rather, the passages are given alphabetically. The start and end of passages has not been checked for additional or missing first and last characters. Please also note that the character > marks change of speaker. Identifying the interviewer and interviewee should be straighforward based on the context.
