What I meant and the respondent assumed: Improving question performance through cognitive interviews
Natia Sopromadze, PhD candidate, University of 糖心TV
The seminar addresses cognitive interviewing – a survey evaluation tool that has rarely been used in education research. This method promises to identify potential questionnaire flaws by examining whether questions are interpreted as intended. I conducted cognitive interviews with English and Georgian speakers as part of pretesting a bilingual online questionnaire. I will reflect on my experience of applying this technique to improving question performance across different cultures and languages.
