Completing the Annual Student Survey of Education for Teaching (ASSET) forms part of the assessment for this unit. The ASSET will provide the Department of Educational Studies with a detailed understanding of our students and their experiences; including, who they are, their attitudes and beliefs about education, and how prepared they feel to work as teachers. In addition, as part of the registration of the Department of Educational Studies teacher preparation programs with the NSW Education Standards Authority, we are specifically required to collect impact data on programs. The proposed annual survey will serve the purpose of providing part of these mandatory data. Further, it will provide the Department of Educational Studies with valuable information to revise and improve the programs offered to students. Finally, you may elect to make your de-identified data available to researchers in the Department if you choose.
Please note that identifying data will only be held by the Department of Educational Studies Research Administrator, Mridul Sood, and will not be released to the unit convenor or any academic staff in the Department. Full information is available when you open the survey.
The survey is in 5 parts and is a hurdle task for this unit. Make sure that you complete each part before the due date. An automated emailed confirmation of completion will be sent to the email address you nominate. Please make sure you ensure this is received and retained as it is the only evidence of completion that will be accepted in case of dispute. If you have any difficulties accessing the survey or questions regarding participation marks, please contact the Department of Educational Studies Research Administrator, Mridul Sood, at des.research@mq.edu.au.
You may complete the surveys any time before the final date for completion. Final dates for completion of each part are provided below and links to the surveys will be available on the iLearn sites:
