Hi everyone
Instats is excited to offer a 1-day free seminar, Questionnaire Design, livestreaming January 12 and led by Surette van Staden from the Institute for Teacher Education, University of Innsbruck. This intensive workshop shows you how to turn theoretical constructs into reliable, valid survey items by drawing on best practices from international large-scale assessments such as PIRLS, covering item writing, translation, cognitive interviewing, piloting, and links to scaling and analysis. Aimed at PhD students, postdocs, faculty, and professional researchers, the seminar equips you to create instruments that ensure cross-cultural comparability and analytic integrity, with templates and checklists you can immediately apply to your own projects. Whether designing a new survey or refining an existing one, you'll leave with actionable draft items, a piloting plan, and the confidence to defend your methodological choices in grants, ethics applications, and publications.
Sign up today to secure your spot, and feel free to share this opportunity with colleagues and students who might benefit!
Best wishes
