This questionnaire is developed for interpreting outcomes of the Inventory Learning to Teach Process (ILTP) from various teacher education Programmes. The questionnaire is based on literature about international differences between teacher education Programmes.
It contains 25 questions divided in four subjects: the system, pedagogy and content of the teacher education programme and some questions about the data that you collected with the ILTP (the sample). We would like to ask you to have the teacher education P programme at which you collected the ILTP-data in mind when answering the questions. If an answer not exactly fits the situation, please choose the best fitting option. At the end of the questionnaire you can add comments about the questions. The text boxes will enlarge during typing.
The development of this questionnaire is part of the Bachelor Thesis of Stefanie Huijzer, under supervision of Dr. Maaike Endedijk. The answers will be used to improve the questionnaire and data from this questionnaire will be reported anonymously.
We would be very pleased if you can send the questionnaire back to [email protected] before May 24th. With kind regards,
Stefanie Huijzer, Bachelor student Educational Science and Technology at University of Twente Dr. Maaike D. Endedijk
