Abstract

This chapter describes the data and methodologies used. A specific form of discourse analysis, called dialogism, is presented. It allows us to ‘delve’ deeper into the respondents’ discourses in order to identify potential contradictions, and ‘white lies’. Our assumption is that discourses on Finnish education are so complex that we needed a tool that allowed us to explore its different facets. We remind our readers that the collected data will only provide us with an entry point into some aspects of CPD and that we do not aim to generalise for the entire country.
