Questionnaire preparations

This week I focused on refining the questionnaires, one for students and one for technical staff and visiting practitioners, which will help me understand how photographic studio terminology is learned, used, and sometimes misunderstood.

Both questionnaires were designed to gather specific insights:

  • The staff questionnaire explores observed challenges, levels of student confidence, and the types of support technicians feel would be beneficial.
  • The student questionnaire focuses on prior experience, familiarity with terminology, confidence levels, and preferred forms of support.

Following the ethical requirements, each includes an embedded Participant Information Sheet, a clear consent statement, and no identifiable data are collected. All responses remain fully anonymous.

As part of the preparation, I contacted the MA Fashion Photography course leader to request permission to attend an upcoming session and allocate 10 minutes for students to complete the questionnaire. I also sent a group email to all technical staff explaining the project and inviting them to participate.
