SayPro Task 1: Gather and review academic data (test scores, grades, assignments) from students in SayPro courses. Collect information from at least 500 students enrolled in various programs.

1. SayPro Define Survey Objectives:

• For Students: Assess the academic rigor, relevance, and application of the program. Identify areas where students feel supported and where improvement is needed.
• For Instructors: Evaluate the effectiveness of teaching methods, course material, and the overall engagement with students.

2. SayPro Develop the Surveys:

Both student and instructor surveys should be designed to capture both quantitative and qualitative data. Below are some sample questions for each group:

SayPro Student Survey Questions:

1. SayPro Academic Experience:
   • On a scale of 1-5, how would you rate the overall quality of the program’s curriculum?
   • How relevant are the subjects covered to your academic and career goals?
   • How challenging did you find the course materials (lectures, readings, assignments)?
2. SayPro Skill Development:
   • Did the program improve your ability to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios? (Yes/No)
   • How confident do you feel in your ability to perform the skills learned in this program?
3. SayPro Teaching & Support:
   • How effective were the instructors in helping you understand course content? (1-5 scale)
   • Were you satisfied with the academic support services available (e.g., tutoring, office hours, etc.)?
4. SayPro Program Experience:
   • How well did the program integrate practical experience with theoretical learning?
   • What aspects of the program would you like to see improved?

Instructor Survey Questions:

1. SayPro Program Effectiveness:
   • How well did the course structure align with the program’s objectives?
   • Were the learning outcomes of the course met effectively through your teaching methods?
2. SayPro Teaching Experience:
   • How would you rate student engagement and participation in your courses?
   • Did you feel adequately supported with resources to deliver course material effectively?
3. SayPro Student Performance:
   • On a scale of 1-5, how prepared do you think students were for the coursework?
   • What areas of skill development do you feel your students need more support in?
4. SayPro Program Suggestions:
   • What changes would you recommend to improve the program’s overall effectiveness?
   • Do you think the course materials need any updates or revisions? If so, how?

3. SayPro Survey Administration:

• Method: Use an online survey tool like Google Forms, SurveyMonkey, or Typeform to easily distribute and collect responses.
• Target Group: Make sure you reach all students and instructors who have participated in or taught the program. You may need to get support from administrators to distribute the survey links via email or through a student portal.
• Timing: Ensure that surveys are distributed towards the end of the program or semester when participants have enough experience to provide meaningful feedback.

4.SayPro Incentives for Participation:

• Offer incentives for completing the survey (e.g., entry into a prize draw, extra credit for students, or small tokens of appreciation for instructors).
• Make it clear how their feedback will contribute to the program’s improvement and be used to enhance future learning experiences.

5. SayPro Data Collection & Analysis:

• Quantitative Analysis: Analyze numerical data to spot trends (e.g., average ratings, satisfaction scores). You can use charts and graphs to illustrate findings.
• Qualitative Analysis: Review open-ended responses for common themes and suggestions. Group feedback into categories like course content, teaching methods, or support services.
• Comparison: Compare feedback from students and instructors to identify any gaps or discrepancies in perception. For instance, if instructors feel students are not fully engaged but students rate the teaching as effective, this could indicate an issue with engagement.

6. SayPro Report Findings and Action Plan:

• Create a comprehensive report summarizing the findings, including key takeaways and actionable insights.
• Present the report to relevant stakeholders (e.g., program directors, faculty, or academic committees) and discuss potential changes or improvements.
• Share a summary of results with students and instructors to close the feedback loop, showing them how their input is shaping program improvements.

7. Implement Changes and Follow-Up:

• Based on the feedback, make the necessary adjustments to the program. This could be updates to the curriculum, teaching strategies, or student support services.
• Consider conducting follow-up surveys after the changes have been implemented to gauge the effectiveness of the improvements.
