Conducting the surveys

• Students and teachers should be convened to briefly

explain the purpose of the survey.

• The questionnaire should then be distributed in printed

form, and completed during the meeting.

• This procedure facilitates the collection of information,

since in a short session the explanatory talk and data

collection can easily be performed.
