Teacher survey
HE STEM: MM&PS

Teacher questionnaire

Survey introduction

In completing this questionnaire think of one teacher that you have been taught by and answer the questions in relation to that particular teacher (your experiences may be quite different for another teacher).

When you have completed the questionnaire your answers will be analysed online to place your teacher on a scale so that you can see how their teaching compares with that of the teachers we surveyed in our research.

A word of warning… We have no answer about what are the most effective teaching practices – there is very good teaching that is transmissionist and very good teaching that is connectionist each of which can lead to successful student outcomes in terms of attainment.


The teacher I have in mind is...

1. We use only the methods the teacher teaches us.

2. We choose which questions to tackle.

3. We compare different methods for doing questions

4. The teacher draws links between topics and moves back and forth between topics.

5. We work collaboratively in small groups.

6. We discuss our ideas.

7. We work collaboratively in pairs.

8. We invent our own methods.

9. The teacher tells us which questions to tackle.

10. The teacher teaches each topic separately.
