I am trying to digitize a learning inventory but I’m struggling on how to adapt it to a qualtrics survey.
On the paper format, participants would have the directions to rank a set of four words (going across) and assign a numerical value of 1-4 to them with each word having a different number. The words going across are also set up in a column of words that fit in that category. They would add up numbers going down to get their number for that section to get their learning style.
So as a basic example:
Step 1: Rank order each set of words going across. Assign a 4 to the word that best fits, a 3 to the next, a 2 to the next, and a 1 that least characterizes you.
- __(4)__ involved ___(3)___ tentative ___(2)___ discriminating ___(1)____ practical
- __(3)__ receptive __(2)___ impartial __(1)____ analytical ___(4)_____ relevant
- and so on until item 12
_____ Style 1 _____ Style 2 ____ Style 3 _____Style 4
Step 2: Total the rank numbers you have given the words in each of the columns (add the scores going down instead of across). The sum of each column gives your score for that style.
Ex: (7) Style 1 (5). Style 2 (3) Style 3 (5) Style 4
The student’s learning style would be Style 1 in this case, as it is the highest column sum.
What is the best way to digitize this instrument on qualtrics?
