Visit the American Youth Circus Organization (AYCO) Program Evaluation Toolbox to access sample surveys and corresponding user guides.View examples of Likert scales to help develop Likert questions.However, when the directions switch, it requires the respondents to more carefully read each question, which arguably has advantages.
It is easier to analyze and less confusing for the respondent if they are all in the same direction. There is controversy as to whether all questions should go in the same direction, with 5 the best and 1 the worst outcome, or whether some questions should be phrased in the opposite way, where 5 is the worst outcome.For example: 1 = "strongly disagree", 2 = "disagree", 3 = "neither agree nor disagree", 4 = "agree", 5 = "strongly disagree". A bipolar range has opposite end points with a neutral midpoint.For example: 1 = "not at all useful", 2 = "slightly useful", 3 = "moderately useful", 5 = "very useful", 5 = "extremely useful". A unipolar range represents a continuum from zero to an extreme.Consider a suitable range for the construct being measured:.Label what each extent of the range means.Otherwise difficult to capture comprehensively with traditional methods The arts may be better suited to capture complexity and multidimensionality that is.Utilizes alternative ways to produce and communicate research findings, which are often more accessible.Address, challenge and rebalance traditional power dynamics.Increase participant engagement and empowerment in producing arts-based work.Encourage participation of those who may otherwise be reluctant.
The arts can accommodate skills and abilities of vulnerable populations.The arts can accommodate people who learn in different ways, people who have differentĬultural backgrounds and/or who are less articulate.May be more conducive to exploring and communicating subjective experiences that canīe difficult to capture with traditional methods.That they may not have otherwise been articulated Participants have the opportunity to express themselves through different art forms which may reveal insights.Advantages of arts-based methods include:
