Appendix A - Questionnaire

Arts in Scottish Education - Questionnaire for Teachers

This questionnaire is being distributed to teachers of the arts in both primary and secondary schools around Scotland, as part of a SEED-funded study being undertaken Glasgow Caledonian and Strathclyde Universities. The answers on this questionnaire are therefore intended to form part of a large dataset on teachers' views at a national level, rather than evaluating your school in particular. We would be very grateful if you would fill in your answers and return the questionnaire sealed in the envelope provided; this will ensure confidentiality for your response. Thank you very much for participating in the study.
