I am currently working on my Thesis proposal and I am looking for the best way to approach MA or PhD professionals in the field of Special Education. To be specific, I will determine level of awareness, challenges, and interventions used by the respondents. May I ask for advise from members of this platform who have experienced having their Questionnaire validated before? Thank you!
I used colleagues from my university, the school district I work in, and I posted the link on a couple of facebook groups I am in for special educators. I got the most responses from facebook.
Facial validity seems to be what you’re going after, but a far better solution, if possible, is to try to find a preexisting scale or questionnaire. If not, your questions should be rooted in the extant literature. Many techniques exist to be systematic. Are you going to pilot it?
Thank you for the suggestions! I am currently checking if there are preexisting scale or questionnaire that fits the need of my research. Seeing that using the preexisting scale/questionnaire actually eliminates a lot of the work (from having it validated to checking reliability), I'm leaning more towards this this option. I am still working on my SOPs currently, so it's still early on. Thanks though! These are all helpful!
