Task 4a Reflection on the questionnaire
To sum up my questionnaire I really needed to analyse and
conclude my research which is what I will look at first.
After questioning different people on my questions it was
interesting to see that some people came up with similar answers and one of
them would work in a school and one was a builder. I wonder whether they weren’t
deep enough or whether they were too closed. I would love people to sit and
analyse their answer for me so it could back up their opinion. There is no right or wrong in any of the
questions yet all people’s answers are right to me.
When giving people my questionnaire I realised many of my
questions were difficult to analyse if you did not work in a school or have
experience with children and education. My questions were quite biased to how I
feel, almost like I thought people would agree with me which to some extent
they did. Most of my questions were about different things which I am keen on. I
think I could look into each question sepratly and further it.
For example….
Q1. I could go on to question, when is the right time for
children to start school and why do you think this?
Q2. On the thoughts about nursery I could ask, do you think there
are any other negatives about children not attending nursery?
Q3. Obviously nursery s there for children to learn, so what
do you think is the most important to learn at the age of 3?
Q4. Inclusion is so big so I could ask, what does inclusion
mean to you?
Q5. I would just ask to give reasons on why it benefits
them.
Q6. To be honest this was not a strong question and was one I
would take out!
So this is my reflection on my process of my questionnaire
and I shall now go away and think of what my answers are.
In this, and your previous Blog, you rightly ask some important questions about our public school system. Your questions seem to me to focus on equity (the idea of fairness, access to opportunities etc).
ReplyDeleteI think the scope of the inquiry you are planning will make such broad questions difficult to address. If the question is broad, the answer will almost certainly be superficial.
I think what would help is to focus in on your specific context (your school) and a question that focuses on some aspect that interests you. You need to have the resources to answer the question. I would think asking the teachers is a good approach.
So my main comment is to focus into some specific aspect of the school to find out something that is really relevant to you.
Thanks Alan..
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking to make things more specific. I'm keen to learn about older and younger children in a same year group and how it affects there ability to learn.
Also, worth saying that the focus here is on making good questions - it is in the final module that you will actually use these questions formally ... in this module you will get to test them out, so focus now on making good questions.
