Teacher questionnaire – Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education Practices

The questionnaire is addressed to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) teachers in secondary education (lower secondary and upper secondary – students aged 10 to over 19), and it aims to collect information about teaching practices in STEM education. The results of the study will be made freely available online before the end of 2018 and included in the Scientix Observatory.
As a STEM teacher, you are invited to complete the questionnaire and provide feedback for at least one of the STEM classes you teach. If you teach more than one STEM class, at the end of the survey you will have the option to provide information about up to three additional STEM classes you teach, by revisiting just the class-specific questions of the survey (Questions 1 to 4).
By class, we mean the specific group of students who attend a specific lesson.
The objective of this questionnaire is to assess the current practices of STEM teachers regarding the way they organise their teaching. More particularly, the questionnaire will investigate areas such as: pedagogical approaches, the type of resources used by teachers and students to facilitate STEM teaching and learning, the use of Information and Communications Technology ( ICT) in the teaching process and the need for specific teacher training. You can also contribute further to this study by opting to be contacted to provide a case study.
Answering this questionnaire should require no more than 20 minutes.

Data collection and processing
The data collected through this survey will be used strictly in line with the objectives defined above.
This questionnaire is supported by Scientix, the community for science education in Europe, and Texas Instruments Education Technology GmbH, and has been developed by EUN Partnership AISBL in collaboration with Deloitte SAS. All anonymous data collected via this survey will be made freely available online (open access).
If they wish, participants can provide their name and email at the end of the survey, only if they are interested in providing follow-up information which would lead to a case study. EUN Partnership AISBL is the controller of this personal data. This information will not be shared outside EUN Partnership AISBL (for example, your name and e-mail address will not be shared with Texas Instruments), will be used only according to the purposes declared and will be deleted at the end of 2018. If you have any questions regarding this survey, please contact Adina Nistor (adina.nistor@eun.org).
