I have been working on my questionnaire for the research into the educators perception of the development of ICT capability at KS3. I have found this very difficult, especially formulating the attitudinal question. I am sure it is not right yet, it is long, and I have been drawn between the theory that the most successful surveys are those with the least answers to participate in, and the fact that too long a question is likely to put people off. I have opted for the longer question on the basis that the style of the question is the same throughout and as such is not difficult to answer. Then there is the other dilemma. many of the statements require a positive result, and although I have tried to include some negative ones to even it out I think I have missed the point. should they essential be the same question one with a positive bias and one with a negative bias - or totally different questions. I know when I have conducted focus groups in the past from a marketing point of view the technique is to throw open seemingly unrelated questions to get into the individual / groups way of thinking. Well I have done all I can for the moment i will place the link up for debate. I am sure Steve and Howard will spot where I am going wrong. Any comments before we meet will be gratefully received!!!
Thanks
