1 answer

This survey question could potentially contain bias in the way it is phrased. By asking "What do you think would help students pay more attention in class?", the question assumes that students are not paying enough attention in class and that there is a need for them to improve in this area. This could lead respondents to feel pressured to come up with suggestions for improvement, even if they do not necessarily believe students have a problem with paying attention in class.

To eliminate bias, the question could be rephrased as "What strategies or resources do you think would help support student engagement in the classroom?" This wording allows for a more open-ended and neutral response, without assuming a problem that may not exist.
