That's not a questionnaire. You'd need to write a feckin' essay to answer those questions. I don't even understand half of them.
"7. Does anxiety in performance require more awareness and acknowledgment in the learning environment?"
What the hell does that mean?
I'll pass.

Agreed, it's not a great questionnaire IMO, a little confusing.
And just a thought ; Most of the questions are asking what someone 'thinks' about others feelings. Like your asking teachers to guess how students cope with their feelings. Would it not be a better angle to ask the students directly, who actually KNOW how they feel on this subject? Unless it's specifically the teacher's perception that you're looking at?
It's just both a student and a teacher myself, I found myself wanting to answer in my "student shoes", because I knew what my answer would be, rather than thinking what my students would feel like. |

| Mate, that is an incredibly poorly constructed questionnaire. Even if people answer it, you're not going to be able to measure any quantifiable results from it! |

But he will get quite a lot of written work.

| I generally respond to all the surveys and don't mind one or two questions that ask you to elaborate on a multiple choice answer but I read through this one and wrote it off straight away. It requests you to make too many assumptions about what might be going on in a student's mind and is, in my opinion, just too demanding overall to ask people to commit a sizeable chunk of time and thought to. I feel mealy mouthed but I've too many demands on my time to start writing essay style answers for a stranger's benefit. |

My thoughts exactly. That, and the fact that the questions are full of ambiguity and some of them are pretty much impossible to make any sense of.
To the original poster - we're all well used to getting requests like yours, and generally a large proportion of the regulars here will happily spend a few minutes completing a questionnaire. You need to rethink your questionnaire and redesign it so that it IS a questionnaire and not a request for essays. No-one is going to spend an hour or more completing a questionnaire. Make the questions understandable and make them easy to complete in well under ten minutes. Actually, make that well under FIVE minutes.
