National survey - Enhancing teacher agency with technology
What is this survey about?
The purpose of this survey is to better understand the role technology plays in UK teachers' practices. As it is used here, "technology" broadly refers to any system or device that teachers use to carry out their professional duties or to achieve their professional goals.
Who is conducting the survey?
This survey is part of a larger study being carried out by a team of researchers at the University of East Anglia. The team is led by Professor John Gordon in the School of Education and Lifelong Learning.
What is involved in participating?
The survey consists mostly of closed questions about you and the context in which you work, your experiences using technology for your work, and the technologies that you use for work as well as two open-ended questions. It takes around 10 minutes to complete, depending on how much you elaborate in the open response items.
Although there is no personal benefit to participating, your perspectives will help us understand more about teachers' access to and use of technology in UK schools. This information may be used to help design continuing professional development resources, to feed into ITT programmes to support new teachers, and to contribute to policy discussions on the use of technologies in schools.
Your participation is entirely voluntary and anonymous, and you can withdraw for any or no reason and without consequence before you submit this survey.
What do you want me to do?
The survey is open to everybody who teaches in the UK, if you teach, please complete the survey. Also if you could distribute this information to any teaching colleagues so that they also have the opportunity to participate.
