Hello! Do you have a few minutes to help out teacher and researcher André Hedlund by answering his survey? Here's his message:
Hi, everyone,
My name is André Hedlund and I am a Master's student from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom. I am investigating teaching practices in the classroom: frequency and reason (s) of use.
I'm still looking British teachers. If you are a teacher who works or has worked at any type of school at any level, you can help me. Just answer this questionnaire that takes between 10-15 minutes and be available for PHASE 2, which also consists of answering a questionnaire a couple of days after this first phase. You will be notified via text.
The questions are about classroom practices, so it is important that you have classroom experience.
Here's the link:
