Questionnaires

Abstract

This chapter reports on aspects of an in-depth study I conducted at a private university in Malaysia which sought to investigate lecturers’ beliefs about the value of feedback on their students’ written work and the extent to which the lecturers’ practices converged with their self-reported beliefs. The study adopted various procedures for data collection – including interviews (see Chapter 4), think aloud (see Chapter 6), stimulated recall (see Chapter 7) and focus groups (see Chapter 3) – but the specific focus of the chapter is the design and administration of the questionnaires issued to the lecturers.
