Science Teaching Effectiveness
Dear teacher,
This instrument seeks to establish current teacher preferences in the teaching of science subjects at a particular grade level. The instrument contains a number of statements. You will be asked what you yourself think about these statements. Please evaluate each statement considering the degree to which it applies to your teaching (Almost never to Almost always).
Please be aware that there are no right or wrong answers. Your opinion is what is wanted.
Also note that the following information will be kept strictly confidential and that providing us with your personal data is voluntary.
Thank you for your participation.
