BART RIENTIES – QUESTIONNAIRE DESIGN FOR BEGINNERS

In this short intensive session we will provide the highlights of the “Effective Questionnaire Design” session that is normally run for the Graduate School. How to design a questionnaire, what are the dos and don’ts, and how to make sure that you can publish from your results.

For a basic introduction of how questionnaires might be useful (for example to measure learning gain), see:
Rogaten, Jekaterina; Rienties, Bart; Sharpe, Rhona; Cross, Simon; Whitelock, Denise; Lygo-Baker, Simon and Littlejohn, Allison (2019). Reviewing affective, behavioural, and cognitive learning gains in higher education.Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 44(3) pp. 321–337.

For an in-depth and advanced insight into the merits of questionnaires relative to objective data, see:
