LdV partnership project :

Creating Active Learning Material for Science Educators of Vocational Education

Questionnaire

Concerned with the attitude towards learning science

Dear Educator,

This survey is organized in the framework of Lifelong Learning Leonardo da Vinci Partnership project “Creating Active Learning Material for Science Educators of Vocational Education”. To achieve the purpose of this project, our project team would like to ask you to express your valuable opinion. The scale consists of questions that will be completed within approximately 15-20 minutes at most. Your answers will be used only for the analysis and research work and statistics of the situation and will not be published as personal answers anywhere. The research results will be posted at ‘www.activlearningproject.com’ web page. We kindly ask you to express your opinion and give your point of view. Thank you very much in advance for your collaboration.
