Survey Stats: Part One

Around a week ago I passed out a survey to my class to see how they felt about ClassRealm after it’s first few weeks. For the first three questions had them rate their thoughts on a scale of one to ten.  One representing “Not at all” and ten representing “A lot!” I told students to be as honest as possible, I wouldn’t be offended if they didn’t like ClassRealm or felt it wasn’t pushing them.

I added all the scores and then divided by the number of students, which is funny because we are revisiting mean (average) at the moment. Hurray for connections!

Here are the averages

1. I care about ClassRealm – Boys: 9.2, Girls: 8.8, Overall: 9

2. I like ClassRealm – Boys: 8.6, Girls: 9, Overall: 8.8

3. ClassRealm has motivated me to perform better – Boys: 9, Girls: 7, Overall: 8

I can’t really argue with those results. Though girls and boys both like ClassRealm and care about it, it’s not surprising that it is motivating girls less. That being said, my two highest level students are both girls, so I guess it varies greatly. I’ll have more on the survey here in a day or two. Feel free to comment below to say how great this is or how I’m going to ruin education forever. Both types of input help me. Heh heh heh
