Description of the dataset

Description: Teaching that Matters for Migrant Students [TEAMS] is an international project carried out by teams of researchers from the University of Edinburgh, Stockholm University, University of Jyväskylä and University of Turku. The project was funded by NordForsk. The aim of the project was to help teachers and schools to meet the needs of migrant students. The project focused on the work of teachers within different schools and different support systems that are available to students and teachers in Scotland, Sweden and Finland. TEAMS aimed to understand how teachers and schools work with others within and beyond schools to enable integration processes around migrant students. Therefore, the project focused on collaborative practices that help build inclusive school environments.

The project collected both quantitative and qualitative data on teachers' beliefs, practices and social networks, and the integration experiences of migrant students in all three countries. This research data set includes only the Finnish qualitative data collected in three different waves during 2021–2022. The data collected from two lower secondary schools (grades 7–9) located in large and middle-sized cities in Finland.The data consist of qualitative interview data on school staff/students' beliefs (n= 15/0 (wave 1); n=7/5 (w2); n= 3/11 (w3), including 5 pair/group interviews) and qualitative observations data on school staff practices and interaction (6 days, around 40 pages of notes without pictures, font size 12). The data include interview transcripts and fieldwork notes from teachers, instructional support staff, school leaders and external collaborators in MS Word (.docx) and ATLAS.ti (.atlproj22) files. The ATLAS.ti software has been used in processing the interview transcripts.
