This dataset supports the article “Empathy as Resilience: Teachers’ Perspectives on Educational Recovery in Wartime Ukraine” and contains qualitative and quantitative research materials examining the role of empathy as a pedagogical resource and resilience mechanism in wartime education. The dataset was developed to document Ukrainian teachers’ perspectives on empathy, emotionally responsive teaching practices, and the challenges of sustaining educational continuity under conditions of war, displacement, instability, and prolonged psychological stress. The dataset includes anonymized semi-structured interview questions, transcripts from ten Ukrainian teachers, thematic analysis tables, individual and cross-case coding matrices, and survey data used in the study. The qualitative materials capture educators’ reflections on empathy as a professional competence, its importance for students’ emotional well-being and engagement, and attitudes toward empathy-oriented educational initiatives, including the Roots of Empathy (ROE) program. The dataset also documents perceived institutional, pedagogical, and contextual barriers to implementing structured empathy-based practices within Ukrainian schools. The scope of the dataset covers themes related to empathy in education, teacher resilience, psychosocial support, wartime educational adaptation, emotionally responsive pedagogy, and recovery-oriented educational practices. The materials are intended to support research transparency, reproducibility, and future interdisciplinary studies in education, discourse analysis, psychology, sociology, and conflict-related educational research. All personal identifiers have been removed to ensure participant confidentiality and ethical data sharing.

The dataset is primarily qualitative textual data with complementary survey (quantitative) data, suitable for machine-readable formats and secondary analysis in qualitative and mixed-methods research

The research was carried out within the framework of the project “Healing Education: A Holistic Model for the Restoration of Human Capital in Ukraine” (state registration number 0126U000593, 2026–2028), which is financed by the State Budget of Ukraine (Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine). This dataset is part of an empirical study conducted in wartime Ukraine and is intended to support open science, research transparency, and data reuse in accordance with FAIR data principles. All qualitative and quantitative materials have been systematically organized to enable secondary analysis, replication of thematic coding procedures, and comparative research on teacher experiences in crisis-affected educational contexts. The dataset is fully anonymized: all personal identifiers, institutional names where necessary, and any potentially identifiable contextual details have been removed or generalized to ensure participant confidentiality and compliance with ethical research standards. The interview data were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten Ukrainian teachers, focusing on their perceptions of empathy as a pedagogical resource and resilience mechanism, as well as their experiences of educational adaptation during wartime. In addition to interview transcripts, the dataset includes detailed thematic coding tables (both individual case-based and cross-case analyses), as well as survey responses used to triangulate qualitative findings. The materials are structured to support qualitative content analysis and mixed-methods interpretation, with clear separation between raw data, processed coding, and analytical summaries. The dataset is designed for use by researchers in education, applied linguistics, discourse analysis, psychology, sociology, and conflict and resilience studies. It may also be useful for developing empathy-based pedagogical interventions and for cross-cultural or longitudinal studies on education in crisis and post-crisis settings.
