Questionnaires can notoriously be interpreted in different ways by different respondents, making your analysis of the responses difficult. Good question design can help to eliminate ambiguity and help respondents to provide you with meaningful answers. This workshop will combine theory and practice and will be delivered in three parts: 1) the theory of designing evidence-based questionnaires, 2) practice at developing a questionnaire, 3) feedback and discussion on proposed questionnaire designs, and issues arising. This workshop will appeal to staff in all four colleges who are interested in undertaking scholarship, particularly around learner experience research.
I'm from Science & Engineering, and I'd come because: my research has never included qualitative measures before.I'm from the Arts, and I'd come because: I want to publish, and so I want to know more about how and why coding written responses could augment my analysis.
