ISCED Broad Field

[edit]

This property was requested after extensive consultation with the Wikidata community and experts on ed tech, OER, global and national curriculum, education policy, and digitization. Over the two rounds of the consultation, we received input from 31 individuals representing various global perspectives and areas of expertise to aid in the full implementation of the Wikidata for Education project.

Motivation

[edit]

This property will be used to specify the specific field that a curriculum belongs to. Broad fields are bigger than narrow and detailed fields. These classifications will aid in making comparisons and also making observations on how biased curricula of a specific educational level, or country may be towards a specific field of discipline.

This will allow comparison of a local education level with the ISCED standard. This is helpful so educationists can relate with standards to manage pedagogy and education outcomes. Usually educationists are able to relate their local education system with a global standard unlike other local standards. Hence, with this addition, an educationist is able to take a look at another local standard and because it has been compared with the ISCED standard, they are able to relate.

In the example,accounting (Q4116214) is categorized in ISCED Broad Field as Business, Administration and Law. The same applies to the rest. For more information about ISCED check this document
