description: <strong>Version 1.1.</strong> <strong>Updated from </strong>https://zenodo.org/record/5517595 <strong>Changes: </strong>added .csv copy of the dataset. Clarified the README below, and added name of publishing journal. No other changes. Added a FEDORA project README below. <strong>Description of dataset:</strong> This matrix, presented in two formats (.xlsx and .csv), contains an English-language dataset (translated from original Finnish). The data relate to a research article <em>Students’ technological images of the future: implications for science and technology education, </em>accepted to be published in European Journal of Futures Research. As per ethical concerns and participants' consent, the dataset is given in a fully anonymised form. Here, excerpts from students' essays (the context of which is given in the article) are given. The excerpts are the ones that have been used in analysis for the article identified above. Further details will be available in the published article. 385 such excerpts are given, originating in 57 essays in which upper-secondary students imagine the year 2035 or 2040 and the technological environment in which they would like to live at that time. The numbering was used to group codes for the analysis: type of technology (1), effect of technology (1E), and positive/negative framing (2A-C). The dataset is intended for providing transparency, but it may also be used for further research. Assistance may be available from the authors at reasonable request. Please note that the dataset presented here contains redundancies and a few additional codes that were not used in the analysis. The redundant quotations from the essays were not duplicated in the analysis, but were not removed from this spreadsheet export. Apologies for any inconvenience. To preserve full anonymity, students are not identified by any marker or pseudonym here; rather, the quotations are given alphabetically. The start and end of passages has not been checked for additional or missing first and last characters, as these can easily be inferred. The related research article gives a fuller description of the dataset and analysis.
