LdV partnership project:

Creating Active Learning Material for Science Educators of Vocational Education

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 Your answers will be used only for the analysis and research work and statistics of the situation and will not be published as personal answers anywhere.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.

10	I provide my learners necessary opportunities to apply their thoughts on science with active learning activities.
11	I enjoy while I am teaching science.
12	The scientific concepts learners learn in active learning class environments relates to their personal goals.
13	I think learning science with active learning activities helps my learners to learn science concepts better.
14	I like using ICT tools in science courses.
15	I like outdoor science activities.
16	I learn science concepts more permanently with inquiry based learning activities.
17	Applying science concepts which learners learn in science course is very useful for learners to learn science better.

19	I love science teaching.
20	I like to work in the science to put forward new scientific information.
21	It is boring to teach science.
22	I love lab activities during science.
23	I try to teach science successfully.
24	I can find better learning methods to teach science.
25	No matter how hard I try, I will not be able to teach science better.
26	I know how my learners learn science concepts effectively.
27	The educator is generally the only responsible one for learners’ success in science.
28	The learners are generally the only responsible one for their own science learning.
29	I am worried that I don’t have the necessary skills to apply scientific concepts during my classes.

31	I always welcome questions about science coming from my colleagues or my friends.
32	I like reading science books to learn science more effectively.
33	I discuss and also get recommendations from my friends about how I can teach science better.
34	In active learning environments, the job of a educator is to guide his learners.
35	The active learning activities help learners to gain lifelong learning skills.
36	Educators should give every scientific information to learners.
37	All the necessary lecture notes about a subject/theme must be given to the learners by the educators.
38	The learner doesn’t have to make any effort in learning.
39	I like teaching science when the only responsible one is the educator in classroom.
