This week I dove even further into the pressing question of “why are teachers leaving the classroom and pursuing EdTech?” to gain insight on the teacher shortage. Once I solidified my question/ problem, I worked on curating a survey to gather more information on this phenomenon. This survey went through multiple rounds of trial and error, altering each question’s format, wording, and place within the survey, before finally sending it out to participants. This survey was tweaked multiple times and probably still has room for improvement. The first round of iteration was done the day after the first draft was completed. Looking at the survey with fresh eyes allowed me to pick out grammatical errors, format issues, and wording mistakes. The second round was completed after a different set of eyes looked at my survey and spent the time taking it. This is where the most changes came in. This person was able to point out questions that were unclear, provide a realistic timeframe, and suggest ways the flow of the survey could be improved to optimize participation. This was the most beneficial step in my design process, as in most design processes. After receiving feedback from others who took the survey, I made key design decisions that were intended to maximize participation and encourage thoughtfulness throughout the survey. I took out a few questions that were unnecessary/ repetitive, clarified what other questions were asking about, and changed the entire format of some questions. This question was initially a free response, but after receiving different feedback about it, I decided it would be best suited as a matrix of responses. To see even more of this, feel free to take my survey!
