Curriculum for Excellence Management Board Survey of Teachers
Ipsos was commissioned in March 2010 to support the Scottish Government in their analysis of results from the Curriculum for Excellence Management Board Survey of Teachers. The aim of the survey was to obtain the views of teachers and to gather information regarding any additional support needs that they require to prepare for the introduction of the new Curriculum for Excellence.
Technical details
All 61,000 teachers in Scotland were invited to participate in the online survey between 10 and 26 March 2010. 14,932 responses were received. Ipsos coded and analysed responses to the five qualitative `free text' questions and the nine `other, please specify' options for a sample of 2,035 respondents.
This analysis was conducted among a randomly selected sample of 2,035 respondents. The sample was designed to be broadly representative of the teacher population in terms of school sector - with 45% from the primary sector, 45% from the secondary sector and 5% from each of the pre-school and special sectors. The sample also ensured coverage across local authority, teaching grades, teaching experience, gender and public/independent schools.
