Questionnaire

Demographics

This unique and innovative instrument is developed to measure and provide immediate feedback to early childhood educators about their teaching practices in physical activity. The questionnaire is completely anonymous and no personal information (name, address, contact info etc.) are collected. The data from the collected questionnaires may be used solely for educational and research purposes.

Please read carefully the provided cards-scenarios and select the ones who are closest to your teaching practices. After completing all the cards/scenarios you can submit your answers and receive individualized feedback immediately.

Αυτό το μοναδικό και καινοτόμο εργαλείο αναπτύχθηκε με σκοπό να εκτιμήσει και να παρέχει άμεση ανατροφοδότηση σε παιδαγωγούς προσχολικής αγωγής σχετικά με τις καθημερινές πρακτικές τους προώθησης της φυσικής δραστηριότητας στα παιδιά της τάξης τους. Το ερωτηματολόγιο είναι ανώνυμο και καμία ατομική πληροφορία (όνομα, διεύθυνση, κλπ.) δεν απαιτείται. Τα δεδομένα που θα συλλέγονται πιθανώς να χρησιμοποιηθούν αποκλειστικά για ερευνητικούς σκοπούς.

Παρακαλώ μελετήστε προσεκτικά τις κάρτες με τα σενάρια και επιλέξτε για κάθε κάρτα το σενάριο που είναι πιο «κοντά» σε αυτά που κάνετε καθημερινά στην τάξη σας. Μόλις συμπληρώσετε όλες τις κάρτες υποβάλλετε τις απαντήσεις και αυτόματα λαμβάνετε εξατομικευμένη ανατροφοδότηση.

Gent. Sig./sig.ra,
Il presente documento si concentra sulle pratiche educative e sull’insegnamento nell’ambito dell’attività motoria nella prima infanzia. Il training professionale in questo ambito è in fase di rivisitazione metodologica attraverso un metodo innovativo (chiamato “Discrete Choice Modeling”). I dati raccolti saranno processati e utilizzati in accordo con le linee guida etiche della Commissione Europea, che garantisce l'anonimato degli stessi.

Grazie fin da ora per la sua disponibilità a partecipare.

Das folgende einzigartige und innovative Instrument wurde entwickelt, um frühpädagogische Fachkräfte hinsichtlich ihrer Erziehungs- und Bildungspraktiken bei der Begleitung physischer Aktivitäten zu informieren und ihnen unmittelbar ein Feedback zukommen zu lassen. Die eingegebenen Daten werden völlig anonym erhoben. Das heißt, es werden keine personenbezogenen Daten (Name, Anschrift, Kontaktdaten usw.) gesammelt. Die eingegebenen Daten werden ausschließlich zu Bildungs- und Forschungszwecken verwendet.

Bitte lesen Sie die folgenden Szenarien, die jeweils auf den Kärtchen festgehalten wurden, sorgfältig durch und wählen Sie diejenigen Szenarien aus, die Ihren Erziehungs- und Bildungspraktiken am nächsten kommen. Nachdem Sie alle 16 Kärtchen bearbeitet haben, können Sie Ihre Antworten absenden und erhalten umgehend ein individuelles Feedback hinsichtlich Ihrer Erziehungs- und Bildungspraktiken bei der Anleitung physischer Aktivitäten.

Clarification:
For the purposes of the present research the term "physical activity/ies" includes every kind of children’s gross motor activities (e.g. games, sports etc.) that are performed with intensity and cause perspiration or increasing cardiac pulse. These activities are either structured or unstructured, are performed outdoors and/or indoors, or concern any other activity during the daily schedule (e.g. during the breaks or free time).

* ALL the cards have to be completed to submit your answers.

ΔΙΕΥΚΡΙΝΙΣΗ:
Για τις ανάγκες της παρούσας έρευνας ο όρος «κινητικές δραστηριότητες» περιλαμβάνει: Κάθε είδος κινητικής δραστηριότητας (π.χ. αθλητικές, παιχνίδια κλπ.) με ένταση (πρόκληση εφίδρωσης, αύξηση καρδιακού παλμού) στις οποίες συμμετέχουν τα παιδιά είτε πρόκειται για οργανωμένες είτε για ελεύθερες δραστηριότητες (εντός/εκτός τάξης) είτε για οποιαδήποτε άλλη δραστηριότητα κατά τη διάρκεια του ημερήσιου προγράμματος (π.χ. στο διάλειμμα).

* ΟΛΕΣ οι κάρτες θα πρέπει να συμπληρωθούν ώστε να μπορείτε να υποβάλλετε τις απαντήσεις σας.

Nota:
Ai fini della presente ricerca, il termine "attività fisica / e" include ogni tipo di attività grosso-motoria dei bambini (ad esempio giochi, sport, ecc.) che viene eseguita con intensità e causa sudorazione o aumento del polso cardiaco. Queste attività sono strutturate o non strutturate, vengono svolte all'aperto e / o al chiuso o riguardano qualsiasi altra attività durante il programma giornaliero (ad esempio durante le pause o il tempo libero).

* TUTTE le schede devono essere completate per poter inviare le risposte.

Anmerkung:
Für die Zwecke der vorliegenden Untersuchung beinhaltet der Begriff “physische Aktivität(en)” grobmotorische Aktivitäten jeglicher Art (z. B. Spiele, Sport), die intensiv ausgeführt werden und die Kinder körperlich beanspruchen (erhöhter Puls, Schwitzen usw.). Diese Aktivitäten können strukturiert oder unstrukturiert sein, drinnen oder draußen durchgeführt werden und jede Aktivität im Tagesplan betreffen (z. B. während der Pausen oder im Freispiel).

* Es müssen ALLE Karten ausgefüllt werden, um die Antworten absenden zu können

1st card (please select the alternative that is closest to your actual teaching practice)

q1 card

Teachers prepare a written plan for physical activities, and evaluate them based on observations. Teachers interact some times with children during their free play or unstructured physical activities, and discuss with parents about their child’s physical activity when it is necessary.

Teachers do not necessarily prepare a written plan for physical activities, and evaluate them based on observations. Teachers avoid interacting with children during their free play or unstructured physical activities, and discuss with parents about their child’s physical activity when asked.

Teachers prepare a written plan for individualized physical activities, and evaluate them based on observations recorded in portfolio. Teachers interact almost always with children during their free play or unstructured physical activities, and discuss with parents about their child’s physical activity regularly.
