Wikidata:Property proposal/ISCED Narrow Field
ISCED Narrow 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. UNESCO fields are classified into broad, narrow and detailed fields. This helps educators to classify specific curriculums into common fields. Narrow fields are broader than the detailed field, however, they are a subset of the broad field. Please check INTERNATIONAL STANDARD CLASSIFICATION OF EDUCATION Fields of education and training 2013 (ISCED-F 2013) –Detailed field descriptions (pages 54-58) for more information.
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, the academic discipline economics (Q12882237) is identified as Social and Behavioral Science under the ISCED Narrow field. The same applies to the rest. For more information about ISCED check this document Dnshitobu (talk) 14:05, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

- The property is not ready because it currently does not have valid examples. The examples don't tell us which item is supposed to get a statement to refer to which other item. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 09:25, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
- ChristianKl The examples have been improved upon. You can come and take a look Dnshitobu (talk) 13:39, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
