These included a student survey (for use in grades 5 and up), teacher survey, school head survey, classroom observation tool, school-wide observation tool (including both indoor and outdoor areas), and interview and focus group protocols to learn more from students, parents, teachers, school heads, and other key stakeholders.
Data were collected from surveys, classroom observations, interviews, and lesson plans.
The Core 2 Programme utilized a nested design comprising three distinct, inter-related, and analytical lines of research, each designated a 'Panel' with specific foci ranging from teacher and student beliefs, attitudes, and motivations (using surveys), classroom instructional practices (using videographic observations and coding), and assessment practices (using artefactual analysis).
Results reveal poor acoustical quality of the surveyed classrooms, for all 3 constructive designs studied.
Data included standardized achievement pre-posttest data, student motivation survey data, classroom observation data, and student log files.
More than half of those who took the survey were classroom teachers and the majority of respondents were from the state sector.
In the first national survey of classroom science teachers, researchers found there was short shrift given to the teaching of climate change in public middle and high schools in all 50 states.
The results from our student survey and classroom observations may help inform considerations about how the simulation might work in a specific context.
Study 2 explores how current goals relate to the results of a new set of CR tests and a new survey of classroom practices.
Because some students did not have convenient access to the electronic survey, the classroom professors also circulated a paper-based questionnaire.
In fact, there is a vicious cycle when teachers are losing motivation to improve parent engagement after their experience with parents over the years, and are now satisfied with over 50% of parents in their class not being fully engaged, according to our own survey of classroom teachers.
