Survey Design

I am currently exploring this Wicked Problem: How can we push beyond students’ existing beliefs to open their minds to new ideas? I am curious if other teachers receive frustration from students when presenting them with new ideas and how they go about it.

In order to look into this question, I have designed a survey to send out to K-12 teachers. Prior to creating this, I had little experience in designing surveys. Reading about different aspects of creating surveys was interesting to me because I didn’t know that so many different things go into making them. I used Google Forms to create my survey. I have used Google Forms before, either to create quizzes for my students or for taking surveys myself, so I knew the basics of it. As I was creating my quiz and editing it, one of the first changes I made was to the order of my questions. I put my simple demographic questions at the end as they are the easiest. Another change I made was to add in skip logic. According to Market Research Guy, it can make a survey more efficient to skip questions for certain takers. I have skip logic in my survey to get more information about a specific question. Overall, I am satisfied with my survey and optimistic about the results.

If you are a K-12 teacher and would like to take the survey, please follow this link: https://forms.gle/aLvU2NN3dfCeYpz5A
