Data Sets | Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project - 3 views

  •  
    An excellent database of survey research statistics from the Pew Trust's "Internet & American Public Life Project." There are some great examples here for modeling how to structure survey questions and write up survey research. Their reports are also very interesting -- especially the "trend" info. (Thanks to Matt for the heads up.)

Facts and fallacies: differentiation and the general education curriculum for students ... - 0 views

  •  
    As policy makers and educators respond to legislation promoting the inclusion of students with disabilities in general education classrooms, there is sometimes confusion about why this is being done and how it can be accomplished effectively. In this article, two categories of fallacies, or misunderstandings, are identified. The first fallacy is that students with disabilities are incapable of learning the general education curriculum. The second fallacy is that teachers are required to 'cover' the entire curriculum, sometimes at a pace that leaves students with and without disabilities behind.

Survey Research: A Summary of Best Practices | Ethics Resource Center - 0 views

  • Questions should not be leading. Questions should only ask for one piece of information. Questions need to be relevant to the topic of interest. Questions and response categories should be suitably designed and coded for the necessary statistical analyses. Questions should not be threatening to the participants. Questions should use language appropriate to the participants. Questions should be organized in a logical manner.
  • Another important consideration is the treatment of human subjects. Ensuring confidentiality or anonymity is of vital importance. Participants need to feel they have the ability to speak freely without the fear that answers will be traced back to them. This is especially important when conducting an organizational survey or when the topic of the survey is sensitive or controversial in nature. A careful script must be written that can either be read to the participants or attached to the survey. The script should explain the purpose of the survey, how they were selected to participate, that it is voluntary and their confidentiality or anonymity will be protected.
