FEDORA. Limits and Potential of the Current Organization of Knowledge in Disciplines: Interviews in Finland, Italy, Lithuania and the United Kingdom, 2022

The dataset contains transcripts of interviews with experts from RPOs (researcher associations in STEM fields, science education, HEI governance), RFOs, school and university government, secondary schools teachers, private companies.

In total, 30 interviews have been collected in 4 project countries. The interviews generate knowledge on: (i) how multiple stakeholders evaluate the current organization of knowledge in disciplines in the formal education institutions (universities and schools); (ii) what potential and limits they see when preparing the young to face the societal changes (what skills are formed; what new skills are needed to grapple with the contemporary challenges which science education should form; what “old” skills the young are losing; etc.); (iii) if and how the current organization is diversity-responsive; (iv) what new forms of knowledge organization experts expect and what barriers in their implementation they perceive and anticipate.
