¿Cómo puede utilizar las encuestas para recopilar comentarios de los padres y las partes interesadas?

No hay nada mejor para construir una buena relación escuela familia que conocernos. Conocer intereses, ideas, expectativas y experiencias de las familias y demás públicos institucionales es un gran inicio para la construcción de esa relación. Involucrar a los públicos en la vida comunitaria de nuestra escuela ayudará y las encuestas son un buen medio para hacerlo.

Surveys are a good way to gather qualitative and quantitive data to help you better understand a situation. In the example of better understanding parental views, you can set really specific questions regarding the current situation, reflecting on new initiatives etc then gather useful data to help you move things on further. The data also helps to (hopefully) evidence impact, spend etc against given KPIs, adding depth to anecdotal evidence. Of course, the most useful time is then spent deciphering the data and working out what to do next!

There are few better ways of getting the perspective of parents and communities than reaching out and asking them for their feedback. What better analytics can an educational institution ask for, than the actual input of the communities they serve?

It is important to look at raw data from sources that feel comfortable being completely honest. Surveys need to solicit responses that are free of guilt, shame, or blame. Contributors should feel safe giving feedback and reassured that their voice is valued as an important part of organizational improvement.

Surveys can be a double edged sword. On one edge are the responses received, that can be constructive, destructive or positive. To have value they must align to the specific questions that are being asked. On the other edge is the potential uselessness of the survey altogether if it is not designed with purpose to give insight, feedback and a clearer understanding of how things are actually perceived by a specifically identified group of people. The strength of a survey is to acquire relevant information for evaluation, introspection and reflection. After that, adjustments and possible changes need to be looked at in order to tighten the focus of the area/topic being presented. It is at this point that your survey has power!

Surveys are incredibly effective when used appropriately and effectively. The biggest challenge I see when educational leaders are designing surveys are: 1) not knowing exactly what you hope to measure 2) using double-barrel questions (questions that incorporate 2 elements that could independently be true or false rendering the question impossible to answer) 3) surveys that attempt to generate too much qualitative data and take too long to complete

It’s also important to consider the many variables that distinguish your participants/stakeholders. Diverse communities may require multiple implementation strategies. For example, some families may have unreliable WiFi or may not own a computer outside of their smart phone. Push out surveys in mobile-friendly formats via email, text, and QR codes on campus to ensure you reach every facet of your community. Relying on a single mode of communication or selecting survey software that doesn’t transfer well can leave gaps in your data and exclude the opinions of many stakeholders.

Realize entrevistas ou grupos focais com os pais e partes interessadas para obter feedback mais detalhado e em profundidade. Vale ressaltar a importância de uma boa conversa e uma busca mais aprofundada dos anseios das famílias. Conhecer de fato quais suas queixas, suas dúvidas, seus interesses.

One thing to consider is allowing anonymous responses, particularly in small communities, to capture more honest responses. Another factor to consider is questions that are useful year in and year out, especially for gathering annual data that tracks your progress. Be mindful of the measures in the survey and how useful they will be for you (on a scale of 1 - 10, how well are we communicating with you... versus... what are the most useful ways we communicate with you i.e Facebook, newsletter etc) Always leave space for comments - they are gold!

I think it is vital to have a clear goal in mind when planning a survey. What are the outcomes? How are you going to use the data? In surveys that I have used in the past, I have always had a test group of parents complete them to ensure that the questions made sense!

Conducting surveys is quite a task as one requirs strong persuasive skills. While conducting such surveys, it is atmost crucial and critical to sensetise the participants about the importance of their contributions and how a genuine survey response can affect the survey analysis and results in a positive way.

Uma estratégia simples e fácil e criar uma pesquisas de satisfação para os pais e partes interessadas, perguntando sobre seus níveis de satisfação com os serviços oferecidos.

Para realizar una encuesta, previamente se debió haber diseñado un cuestionario, cuyos reactivos serán clave para la medición de los tópicos de estudio.

To conduct educational surveys effectively: 1. **Identify Purpose:** Clearly define the survey's purpose and the specific information you seek. 2. **Select Participants:** Determine the target audience, such as students, parents, or teachers, and ensure a representative sample. 3. **Choose Survey Format:** Decide on the format—online surveys, paper forms, or in-person interviews, based on accessibility and convenience for participants. 4. **Create a Distribution Plan:** 5. **Explain the Purpose:** 6. **Ensure Anonymity:** 7. **Set a Deadline:** 8. **Pilot Test:** 9. **Follow Up:** 10. **Data Analysis:** 11. **Communicate Findings:**

Define Objectives: Clearly outline what you want to achieve with the survey. Choose Survey Type: Decide between online, phone, or in-person surveys based on your audience. Design Questions: Keep it short, 7-10 questions, focusing on key insights. Use clear language. Select Participants: Identify and reach out to your target audience or a representative sample. Choose Survey Tools: Utilize online platforms like SurveyMonkey or Google Forms for ease. Distribution: Share the survey through emails, social media, or targeted channels. Reminders: Send gentle reminders to boost response rates. Collect Data: Gather responses and ensure data accuracy. Analysis: Use survey tools to analyze results and derive meaningful insights.

Visualization plays a critical role in this stage; well-designed charts, graphs, and tables can make complex data more accessible and interpretable, highlighting key findings and trends in a visually compelling manner. The interpretation of the data should be grounded in the objectives of the survey, providing actionable insights and recommendations based on the evidence gathered. This step transforms raw data into valuable information that can inform decision-making and strategic planning, ensuring that the survey's outcomes have a practical and meaningful impact.

To analyze educational surveys efficiently: 1. **Quantitative Data:** Utilize statistical tools to examine numerical responses. Look for trends, averages, and variations in rating scales to identify areas of strength or improvement. 2. **Qualitative Data:** Thoroughly review open-ended responses for detailed insights. Group common themes or issues to understand participants' perspectives. 3. **Demographic Analysis:** Break down responses by demographic factors (grade level, teacher, etc.) to identify patterns or disparities among different groups. 4. **Benchmarking:** 5. **Prioritize Issues:** 6. **Feedback Synthesis:** 7. **Recommendations:**

By creating a visually pleasing spreadsheet, it can affect the outcome and productivity when reviewing data. It is important to try and reach your audience by creating visual charts with the most important keywords. The use of graphs will give users a friendly way to see the incline and decline of the data being analyzed.

Don't just gather feedback *use* feedback! Create an improvement loop. Share findings with stakeholders. Tell them what you are going to do as a result and make sure you do it. Then get *more* feedback to check if your actions are making the impact that you planned.

Educational leaders are terrified of critical feedback. This is why we haven't seen it. Teachers are terrified to provide critical feedback. That is why leadership doesn't use it. They are terrified of being assessed by anyone/stakeholders to not be held accountable. Since the advent of compulsory K12 education, this is how it has always been done and will continue to be done by leaders masquerading as educators yet concerned for no one but themselves and their retirement.

Analyzing the feedback from well written surveys can be invaluable! After every session I give a simple survey and read every response with a curious and nonjudgmental attitude. This is important! You can’t get better as a leader if you can’t be open minded to feedback. The game changer has been using AI to analyze the data and give me a summary of celebrations, challenges and possible next steps. I use the summary from AI to compare it to my original thoughts. A couple of time AI has surprised me with an out of the box solution that I didn’t see.

Consider using the Lundy Model as a launchpad to ensure your surveys are effective and evidence impact. You Said We Did very important. Value all feedback in a survey. Criticism is a reflection & learning opportunity. Use it as an opportunity to repair fractured relationships by actively listening. Useful phrases “Can you help me to understand why you feel that way? How can we find a solution together? What can we do differently next time to improve things? How would you approach things if you were in my shoes? How can we learn from your experience?” If you want authentic engagement, develop & co-produce your surveys together.

Usar as mídias sociais e outros canais de comunicação para coletar opiniões e sugestões dos pais e partes interessadas. Realize pesquisas de opinião pública ou fóruns abertos para as partes interessadas compartilharem suas opiniões e sugestões. Tudo isso alinhado a equipe para retorno de feedback.

One thing I've found helpful is setting up a survey workshop for parents. In communities where English is an additional language, accessing surveys can be challenging and puts some parents off from giving detailed answers. So setting up laptops, displaying the questions on a screen and talking through the questions also providing examples of how the question could be answered can enable rich qualitative data.

Surveys can be a great way to understand the diversity of your clients/families/students. Asking the right questions to understand their personal relevance - what's important to them and how they understand and use your services... this will go a long way and let them know you care about them! Know them well!

Analisar os dados coletados nas pesquisas para identificar tendências e áreas de melhoria. Usar as informações coletadas para tomar decisões e implementar ações para melhorar a satisfação dos pais e partes interessadas.

One thing to consider is the impact of the surveys. I would suggest utilising them to gather wider areas of concern, and then holding F2F focus groups to delve deeper.
