TT2311: Student Surveys

 TT2311: Student Surveys

Listening to the student's voice is very important. There are numerous ways to collect feedback from students. I prefer to request feedback during the semester. This provides me time to make changes to address questions or concerns.  Sometimes, it's a quick and easy fix.

For this course, I chose to create a survey using Googe Forms.  It's a free tool that is easily accessed through a Google Account.  I chose it because I already have a Google account.  Overall, I thought the tool was easy to use.  I was able to create a survey in less than 30 minutes.  Oddly, the hardest part was figuring out where to find the link to share.  You have to click on "Send" which wasn't intuitive for me. Also, the data can be downloaded in Google Sheets.  It could be interesting to collect data over multiple semesters.

Polling can support pedagogy in a variety of ways.  Polls can be used before a lesson to determine the student's current knowledge, during the lesson to clarify any gaps, as well as post to determine how much they have learned.  Specifically, I like to use word clouds before beginning a lesson to gauge how learners connect to a topic.  For instance, I would use a prompt, What word comes to mind when you think about diversity in the classroom?   CC VY SA 4.0 International Resource Developing Poll Questions to Engage ...
