Abstract

In order to be relevant to education policy and practice, large scale assessments (LSAs) routinely collect contextual information through questionnaires to enable the examination of factors that are linked to differences in student performance. In addition, information obtained by contextual questionnaires is used independently of performance data to generate indicators of non-cognitive learning outcomes such as students’ attitudes towards reading, mathematics self-efficacy and interest in science or indicators about teacher education and satisfaction as well as application of instructional strategies. In this chapter, Petra Lietz not only gives an overview of the content of questionnaires for students, parents, teachers and schools in LSAs but also discusses and illustrates the questionnaire design process from questionnaire framework development to issues such as question order and length as well as question and response formats.
